#TradingPairs101 In crypto, a trading pair refers to two different assets that can be traded against each other on an exchange. It shows what you're buying and what you're using to pay. For example, in the BTC/USDT pair, you're trading Bitcoin (BTC) against Tether (USDT). If you buy BTC/USDT, you're using USDT to buy BTC; if you sell, you're getting USDT in return. Common base currencies include USDT, ETH, BTC, and BNB. Understanding trading pairs is essential for navigating exchanges, determining price relations, and making informed decisions.
