#SpotVSFuturesStrategy In crypto, spot trading means buying actual coins (e.g., BTC, ETH) and holding them in your wallet. It’s ideal for long-term investors and is less risky — no leverage, no expiry. On the other hand, futures trading lets you speculate on price movements using leverage, without owning the asset. It suits short-term, high-risk traders aiming to profit from volatility. Futures can amplify gains — but also losses. Spot is safer for beginners; futures offer higher risk-reward for pros.
