#TradingPairs101 Want to trade crypto? Understanding trading pairs is a must! 🔄💡

A **trading pair** shows which two cryptocurrencies you can trade directly, like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC. The first currency is the “base” asset you’re buying or selling, and the second is the “quote” currency used to price it.

For example, in BTC/USDT, you’re trading Bitcoin against Tether (a stablecoin). If you buy BTC/USDT, you’re using USDT to buy Bitcoin.

Popular pairs often have higher liquidity and tighter spreads, making trading smoother.

Knowing how pairs work helps you pick the right markets and manage your trades better.
