What it means

Trading pairs show which asset you are buying and which asset you are using to pay. BTC/USDT means Bitcoin is traded against Tether.

Why it matters

Pairs matter because liquidity, fees and spreads can differ by pair. A platform may be good for BTC/USDT but weaker for a smaller altcoin pair.
