A trading pair (e.g., BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC) shows how much one asset is worth in terms of another. There are two main types:
1. **Fiat-to-Crypto (BTC/USD, ETH/EUR)** – Trades between traditional money and crypto.
2. **Crypto-to-Crypto (BTC/ETH, SOL/USDC)** – Swaps between digital assets without fiat.
**Key Tips:**
🔹 **Stablecoin pairs (BTC/USDT)** reduce volatility risk.
🔹 **Base vs. Quote currency** – First is what you buy/sell, second is the pricing asset.
🔹 Low-fee pairs save costs in high-frequency trading.
