What Are They & Why They Matter

If you're just getting started in crypto, you’ll often see pairs like BTC/USDT or ETH/BUSD — but what do they mean?

👀 A trading pair shows what you're exchanging:

→ In BTC/USDT, you're buying or selling Bitcoin using Tether (USDT).

→ The first asset (BTC) is what you’re buying/selling.

→ The second (USDT) is what you’re using to buy/sell it.

💡 Think of it like going to a currency exchange:

You’re trading one currency for another — except now, it's digital assets.

🔄 Different pairs offer different opportunities.

✅ Want to convert crypto to fiat? Look for USDT, BUSD, or fiat-based pairs.

✅ Want to swap between cryptos? Try BTC/ETH or similar.

🧠 Pro Tip: Always check liquidity and volume of the pair — smoother trades, better prices!
