In the example below, we'll take a look at one of the most popular trades on KuCoin – BTC/USDT trades. The following guide will show you how to trade Tether (USDT), the most widely-used fiat currency backed stablecoin, for Bitcoin (BTC), the most popular cryptocurrency.

Step 1. Navigate to the KuCoin Spot Trading Interface

Navigate to KuCoin in your web browser, complete the login process, and select "Spot Trading" from the "Trade" option along the top menu of the KuCoin user interface.

Step 2. Familiarize Yourself with the Spot Trading Interface

Once you've selected the "Spot Trading" option, you'll be presented with the KuCoin spot trading interface. Using this interface, you'll be able to select the trading pair you want to trade, view chart information, market depth, and order information, as well as place orders or track your order history.

The areas we'll focus on in this guide are the trading pair selection tool in the top left of the trading interface, and the spot trading interface at the top right.

Step 3. Select a Trading Pair

You can choose the trading pair you’d like to trade at the top left of the trading interface. In the example below, the trading pair is set to BTC/USDT.

Selecting the trading pair button will present you with a trading pair selection window. You can search for a specific trading pair or crypto via the search function or scroll through a list of KuCoin's supported trading pairs.

Step 4. Enter Your Trading Password

Once you're familiar with the KuCoin trading interface, you'll need to enter your six-digit trading password into the password field in the spot trading interface at the bottom right. For this section of the guide, we'll isolate the spot trading interface.

After you've entered your trading password, you can view the spot trading interface. It's important to note that the spot trading interface will request your trading password every two hours. This helps keep your account secure.
