Trading with the ETH/BTC pair is better than with cryptocurrency because it allows you to capture relative movements between two market leaders, generating more chances of profit without depending on the stability of the dollar.
More trading opportunities
You can rotate between ETH and BTC depending on which one gains strength: if Ethereum rises due to DeFi or NFTs, you sell BTC for ETH; if Bitcoin dominates, you do the opposite, taking advantage of clear trends without always going back to USDT.
The pair shows productive volatility with defined supports and resistances, ideal for scalping or swings, unlike pairs against stablecoins that are flatter.
You avoid extra conversion fees to dollars and focus on relative dominance, key in bullish cycles where ETH tends to outperform BTC.
Diversification and hedging
Combining ETH (growth from the ecosystem) with BTC (store of value) creates a balanced portfolio within crypto, hedging risks without stepping into volatile fiat.
ETH offers upside from upgrades like Dencun and layer2 adoption, while BTC is the benchmark; trading them directly maximizes exposure to the sector without diluting in stablecoins.
High liquidity in the pair ensures low spreads and quick execution on any major exchange.
