# Ever Wondered What BTC/USDT Actually Means?
Simplify it: you're just swapping Bitcoin for stablecoin (or vice versa). Bitcoin is "digital gold"—stores value but swings wildly. USDT is basically USD on the blockchain—stays locked at $1. Pair them together and you get one of crypto's most liquid trading markets.
**Why traders love this pair:**
Deep liquidity means you can move serious size without moving the market. Wanna hedge BTC's chaos but skip the bank? USDT's your play. It's everywhere too—literally every major exchange has it. And if you're into arbitrage, price gaps between exchanges
