What are trading pairs?
Trading pairs are assets that can be traded for each other on an exchange. A trading pair consists of a base asset and a quote asset. The base asset refers to the first cryptocurrency in the pair, the one you’re buying or selling. The quote asset refers to the second cryptocurrency, in which prices are quoted. Taking the BNB/BTC trading pair as an example, BNB is the base asset and BTC is the quote asset.

3. Let's take buying BNB as an example. Select a BNB trading pair, e.g., BNB/USDT.
4. Click [Spot] on the top right and select [Buy]. Then, choose between [Limit], [Market], or [Stop-limit] orders and enter the price and amount you wish to purchase. You may also drag the bar below the [Amount] field to customize the percentage of the Spot Wallet balance to use for the order.
5. Click [Buy BNB] to place the order.
Note:
- The default order type is a limit order. You can use a market order if you want an order filled as soon as possible.
- If the market price of BNB is 400 USDT, but you want to buy at a specific price, for example, 380 USDT, you can place a limit order. Your limit order will be executed when the market price reaches your set price.
