062. A trading pair
Refers to the combination of two cryptocurrencies that can be exchanged for each other on a cryptocurrency exchange. It's also known as a currency pair or trading pair.
For example:
- BTC/USDT (Bitcoin/Tether)
- ETH/BTC (Ethereum/Bitcoin)
- LTC/USDC (Litecoin/USD Coin)
In each pair:
- The first cryptocurrency is the base currency (e.g., $BTC , $ETH , $LTC )
- The second cryptocurrency is the quote currency (e.g., USDT, BTC, USDC)
Trading pairs allow users to:
1. Buy or sell cryptocurrencies
2. Exchange one cryptocurrency for another
3. Hedge against price fluctuations
4. Take advantage of arbitrage opportunities
Trading pairs can be classified into:
1. Fiat-crypto pairs (e.g., BTC/USDT, ETH/USD)
2. Crypto-crypto pairs (e.g., ETH/BTC, LTC/BTC)
3. Stablecoin pairs (e.g., USDT/USDC, DAI/USDC)
