#SpotVSFuturesStrategy In the crypto world, choosing between spot and futures trading involves distinct strategies and risk profiles. Spot trading means buying or selling cryptocurrencies at their current market price for immediate delivery. You directly own the asset. This is simpler, carries lower risk (you only lose what you invest), and is favored by long-term holders or beginners. Profits come from price appreciation: buy low, sell high.

Futures trading, conversely, involves contracts to buy or sell a crypto asset at a predetermined price on a future date, without actually owning the underlying asset. It allows for leverage, amplifying both potential gains and losses. Traders can "go long" (bet on price increase) or "go short" (bet on price decrease), profiting in both rising and falling markets. Futures are more complex, higher risk, and often used for hedging or speculation by experienced traders.
