💡 Spot vs Futures Strategy Ideas:

1. Arbitrage Strategy

Buy on spot and short in futures when futures are overvalued.

Lock in risk-free profit (known as cash-and-carry arbitrage).

Works well when there's a premium on futures contracts.

2. Hedging Long-Term Holdings

Hold crypto (e.g., BTC) on spot, and short futures to protect against downside.

Useful in bear markets or during uncertain news events.
