Types of Crypto Trading: Spot, Futures & Margin – What’s the Difference?

Crypto isn’t just about buying and holding — there are different ways to trade, each with its own risk and reward:

🔸 Spot Trading – Simple & direct. You buy crypto at the current market price and own the actual asset. Best for beginners and long-term holders.

🔸 Futures Trading – Trade contracts that speculate on the future price of a coin, without owning it. High risk, high reward. Great for experienced traders.

🔸 Margin Trading – Borrow funds to increase your position size. Amplifies both profits and losses. Use with caution!

Each type suits different goals and risk levels.
