Trading Pairs in CryptoTrading pairs in cryptocurrency markets represent the two assets exchanged during a trade, quoted as one asset against another. They are fundamental to crypto trading, determining how trades are executed on exchanges. Common trading pairs include BTC/USD, where Bitcoin is traded against the US dollar, or ETH/BTC, where Ethereum is traded against Bitcoin. Pairs are categorized into fiat-to-crypto (e.g., ETH/USD), crypto-to-crypto (e.g., ADA/BTC), and stablecoin pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT), with stablecoin pairs like USDT or USDC being popular due to their price stability. Each pair has a base currency (the asset being bought or sold) and a quote currency (the asset used to price the base).
