#SpotVSFuturesStrategy In the crypto world, traders face two primary options: spot trading, where assets are purchased and stored directly, and futures trading, which allows trading based on future price expectations without actual ownership. Spot trading is ideal for long-term investors due to its simplicity and low risk, as there is no loan or liquidation. Futures, on the other hand, offer the potential to profit from market trends, both upward and downward, thanks to leverage, but they carry significant risks, including position liquidation and compounding losses. Futures are also used to hedge risk and implement a "gap trade" strategy, i.e., to take advantage of the price difference between two markets. The most appropriate strategy is chosen based on the investor's goals, experience, and risk tolerance.
