Today I just realized why I always see these characters on the exchange: 1K, 1M, 1B, 1E, 1T... at first I thought they meant something special, but it turns out they are just abbreviations.
Looking at it, how much money is 1K? Basically, 1K = 1k units, 1M = 1 million, 1 billion is 1B, and 1E = 100 million. These are used to simplify large numbers when trading, not anything complicated. 1T = 1 trillion, which is less common but also often seen on charts.
I was confused at first too, but after getting used to it, it's easy to understand. If you're new to the exchange and don't know, just remember this is enough.
