What Are Crypto Trading Pairs?

A trading pair is the two assets you can trade against each other. For example, BTC/INR means you buy or sell Bitcoin for Indian Rupees. The first asset (BTC) is the "base"; the second (INR) is the "quote." So "BTC/INR = 50,00,000" means one Bitcoin costs 50 lakh INR. Pairs can be crypto-to-fiat (BTC/INR) or crypto-to-crypto (ETH/BTC). On Indian exchanges you will see INR pairs; on global platforms you often see USDT pairs. Choose the pair that matches how you want to trade.
