#交易类型入门 Spot Trading

• Definition: Refers to transactions completed by both buyers and sellers at the present moment, where digital currency and funds are immediately exchanged, allowing for direct conversion between currency and digital currency. For example, an investor purchases Bitcoin with US dollars, and upon completion of the transaction, the investor immediately receives Bitcoin while paying the corresponding US dollars.

• Characteristics: The transaction is simple and direct, with relatively low risk, allowing investors to actually own digital currency. It is suitable for investors who have a long-term positive outlook on the value of digital currency and wish to obtain appreciation returns through holding.

Futures Trading

• Definition: A standardized contract transaction where the two parties agree to buy and sell a certain quantity of digital currency at a predetermined price at a specific time in the future. For instance, if an investor expects the price of Bitcoin to rise in the future, they might buy a Bitcoin futures contract that is set to settle in 3 months at an agreed price of $30,000. If the price of Bitcoin is above $30,000 after 3 months, the investor will make a profit.

• Characteristics: It has a leverage effect, which can amplify profits, but the risks are also extremely high. It is suitable for investors with some trading experience who are willing to take high risks in pursuit of high returns and have strong judgment capabilities regarding market trends.
