#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Spot trading refers to the immediate buying or selling of a cryptocurrency. You actually buy the asset (e.g., BTC, ETH) and it becomes your property. If you buy 100 USDT of Bitcoin, you hold Bitcoin in your wallet. There is no leverage and no expiration date. It is the simplest, most stable, and recommended method for beginners.

Futures trading, on the other hand, relies on futures contracts. You do not actually buy the crypto, but you bet on its future price. You can trade upwards (long) or downwards (short) and use leverage (up to 125x), which increases potential gains but also the risk of liquidation. It is a field for more experienced traders.
