#SpotVSFuturesStrategy?

1. Spot Trading (spot market):

• You buy the actual asset (e.g., BTC) and own it.

• Simple: Buy low, sell high.

• No leverage or very low.

• No liquidation risk.

2. Futures Trading (contracts):

• You trade a contract for the asset price in the future.

• You can bet on an increase (long) or a decrease (short).

• You use leverage (e.g., 10x), but there is a liquidation risk.

• You do not actually own the cryptocurrency.

✅ Example Strategy #SpotVSFuturesStrategy:

🧠 Hedging Spot with Futures:

1. Buy BTC on the spot market (e.g., 1 BTC for 60,000 USD).

2. Open a SHORT position on futures (1 BTC at the same price).

3. You hedge against downturns — you do not earn, but you do not lose.

4. If the market declines:

• Your spot BTC loses value,

• But the short on futures makes a profit.

👉 Ideal for hedging long-term positions or BTC-based NFTs.

🧩 Other strategies:

• Funding arbitrage: Buy BTC on spot, simultaneously open a short on perpetual futures, collecting positive funding rates.

• Grid trading: Set a grid of orders on spot and futures during market volatility.

• Long spot + short futures: A classic form of cash & carry arbitrage.
