#TradingPairs101 💱 Trading Pairs 101: What Are They & How Do They Work?

If you’ve ever looked at a crypto exchange and seen something like BTC/USDT or ETH/BTC, you’re looking at a trading pair.

🧠 What’s a Trading Pair?

A trading pair shows you which two assets you can trade between. It tells you what you're buying and what you're paying with.

Example:

BTC/USDT means you’re buying Bitcoin using Tether (USDT), or selling Bitcoin for USDT.

ETH/BTC means you're trading Ethereum against Bitcoin — buying ETH using BTC, or vice versa.
