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.

What is altcoin season: how liquidity charts the path to altseason
Are you a veteran in the crypto scene? If so, the phrase 'crypto is cyclical' should seem familiar given how liquidity and money flow in the crypto markets. When Bitcoin consolidates in an established range, traders can't help but wonder if this is a sign of a possible upcoming rotation into altcoins in what's commonly known as 'altseason': a common abbreviation of the terms altcoin and season. With the last altseason happening in early 2021, many traders are optimistic for the future. There's much anticipation for this bull market cycle's version of altseason frenzy, when altcoins exponentially outperform Bitcoin and Ether.

What rug pull scams are and how to avoid them
In November 2024, a 12-year old trader made headlines after attempting a crypto rug pull on a memecoin he created, called Gen Z Quant (QUANT), during a live stream. The trader launched QUANT on the popular Solana-based platform . The token quickly gained traction as its price surged. During a live stream, the trader expressed surprise at the growth before dumping his holdings — 51 million QUANT tokens — for 128 Solana (SOL), equivalent to $30,000.Despite his attempts to exit the market, the crypto community rallied behind the token, pushing its price up by an astonishing 77,000%. QUANT briefly reached a market cap of $82.3 million, peaking at $0.08 before retracing to $50 million. Ironically, the trader’s holdings would have been worth $4 million had he not sold them prematurely.
