Some of the pairs are freely traded which means we are able to price and execute on both sides of the trade, whereas pairs that contain a currency with additional constraints are considered exotic currency pairs.
You can use supported currencies API to get a list of currencies you can buy or sell.
Buy and sell amounts are rounded to the nearest unit based on a currency's decimals defined by ISO 4217 .
