#TradingPairs101 Crypto Pairs 101 discusses the combinations of cryptocurrencies traded among themselves, known as trading pairs. A crypto pair, such as BTC/USDT, indicates that you are exchanging Bitcoin for Tether. The first asset (BTC) is what you want to buy or sell, and the second (USDT) is the quote currency. There are crypto-fiat pairs (like ETH/USD) and crypto-crypto pairs (like ETH/BTC). Understanding pairs is essential for navigating exchanges, identifying opportunities, and calculating profits. Liquidity and volatility vary depending on the pair. Experienced traders analyze these pairs to define effective strategies and take advantage of arbitrage, trends, and market movements.
