$BTC

A BTC coin pair refers to a trading pair on a cryptocurrency exchange where Bitcoin (BTC) is used to buy or sell another asset. For example, in the ETH/BTC pair, Ethereum (ETH) is traded against Bitcoin. The price indicates how much BTC is needed to purchase one unit of the paired asset. BTC pairs are common because Bitcoin is the most widely used and recognized cryptocurrency, often serving as a base currency. Traders use BTC pairs to diversify portfolios, arbitrage between exchanges, or hedge positions. BTC pairs offer liquidity and are key in crypto-to-crypto trading without converting to fiat currency.
