#SpotVSFuturesStrategy In the spot market, you own the asset; in futures, you speculate with leverage. A hybrid strategy combines both: you buy BTC in spot as a reserve and use futures to protect yourself or seek quick profits. The spot market is ideal for accumulation and peace of mind. Futures are powerful but dangerous if not managed well. Many successful traders take advantage of drops by buying in spot and open shorts in futures to balance risks. It all depends on your profile, objectives, and emotional management.
