What is a cryptocurrency trading pair?

A cryptocurrency trading pair consists of two cryptocurrencies, such as BTC/USDT, where BTC is the base currency and USDT is the quote currency.

Using BTC/USDT as an example, you can:

  • Buy BTC with USDT (also known as a buy order in spot trading)

  • Sell BTC and receive USDT (also known as a sell order in spot trading)

Stablecoins

Stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, DAI and USDK are commonly used as the quote currency for trading pairs found on OKX. This is because these stablecoins are typically pegged to fiat currency such as USD, so it's convenient for the user to easily benchmark the price of the base currency. For example, the price of BTC/USDT could be easily interpreted as how much a single BTC is valued in terms of USD.

How to find cryptocurrency trading pairs on the OKX app

There are multiple methods to find the cryptocurrency trading pair you're looking for. You could use the following:

  • The search bar

  • The discover page

  • The trading pair drop-down found on all charts and trading pages

Understanding the concept of an all-time high (ATH) in crypto

As the crypto market continues its powerful surge following the April 2024 Bitcoin halving, we’re witnessing breathtaking gains across a wide range of coins and tokens. The rally has reignited memories of past bull market frenzies, only this time, prices have already shattered previous records. Bitcoin, which set its former all-time high of around $68,742 on November 10, 2021, has since stormed past the $100,000 mark in late 2024 and reached over $123,000 in August 2025. With fear of missing out (FOMO) running high, traders are now asking not if the market can reclaim old highs, but how far this cycle can push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Crypto bull markets explained: a comprehensive guide for beginners

As a crypto bull run might be in play in 2024, it's a good time to explain what crypto bull markets are and how to identify them. A bull market occurs when prices of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or cryptocurrencies, are on the rise and confidence among traders is high. In a bull market, the trend is generally upward, with buying activity dominating selling activity. This results in increased demand and a general feeling of optimism in the market. Bull markets are usually accompanied by economic growth and strong market performance. This guide discusses crypto bull markets, their significance, and how beginners can understand and benefit from them.
