What is 'Futures' and how does it differ from the 'Spot' market?
In the world of cryptocurrencies, there are two main paths to trade: the Spot market and the Futures market. And although both allow you to make money, the way you do it is completely different.
📌 In the Spot market, you buy cryptocurrencies like $BTC , $ETH or $XRP directly and wait for them to increase in price to sell them for a profit. It’s the classic, direct, and simple method. But it is also limited... you only make money if the price goes up.
⚡ In the Futures market, on the other hand, you can make money whether the price goes up or down. You trade contracts, not real cryptocurrencies, and you can apply leverage, which allows you to achieve high returns with little capital.
