A few days ago, a friend asked me how much 1t is on the exchange, and I just realized not everyone is familiar with these symbols. Actually, it's very simple.
On trading platforms, when you see numbers accompanied by letters like K, M, B, E, or T, these are abbreviations for easier reading. Specifically, 1K equals 1k, and 1 million is 1 million (or called 1M in English). If you see 1E, that means 100 million; 1B is 1 billion. And what about 1T? It equals 1 trillion, a pretty large number.
This usage is quite common on crypto exchanges, helping you avoid counting all the zeros. Next time you see these symbols, you'll immediately understand what they represent.
