#TradingPairs101 Next, if you really want to trade crypto, you need to understand the basics of trading pairs. Like, sometimes people think you can only swap BTC for real currency and that's it. Not at all, my friend. Trading pairs are like the menu at a bar: there’s everything, and each one serves a different moment.

When you see something like ETH/BTC, it means you’re exchanging Ethereum for Bitcoin, got it? The first currency is the one you’re selling, the second is the one you’re receiving. Now imagine you want to sell Solana, but there’s no direct pair with BRL. Then you do SOL/USDT, and then USDT/BRL. Simple maneuvering.

And why is this important? Because some pairs are more liquid, with lower fees, and higher volume. If you trade properly, this turns into profit in your pocket. So don’t think that any pair will do. Knowing how to choose a pair is like knowing how to order a cold beer: it changes everything in the experience.
