Trading Spot:

Property: You acquire ownership of the underlying asset (for example, Bitcoin).

Price: It is traded at the current market price (spot price).

Delivery: The delivery of the asset is usually immediate or very quick.

Risk: Generally considered less risky than futures trading, as there is no leverage involved.

Leverage: No leverage is used, so you can only trade with the available capital.

Profit: You make a profit if the price of the asset increases and you sell it at a higher price than you bought it.

Example: Buy Bitcoin at $50,000 and sell it at $55,000 to make a profit of $5,000. Futures Trading:

Risk:

Higher risk due to the use of leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses.
