BTC Pairs
BTC pairs refer to trading pairs where Bitcoin (BTC) is one side of the trade, allowing users to exchange BTC for another cryptocurrency or vice versa. For example, in the ETH/BTC pair, traders can buy Ethereum using Bitcoin or sell Ethereum to receive Bitcoin. BTC pairs are popular on major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase because Bitcoin is the most widely held and traded cryptocurrency. These pairs are crucial for price discovery and liquidity across the crypto market. Traders use BTC pairs to diversify portfolios, capitalize on market movements, or transition between assets without converting to fiat currency like USD or EUR.
