#SpotVSFuturesStrategy The trading strategies of Spot and Futures differ in terms of asset ownership timing and risk management. Spot trading (immediate) involves buying and selling actual assets at the current price and owning them immediately after the transaction – suitable for long-term investment strategies like HODL. In contrast, Futures trading (futures contracts) involves betting on future price movements without needing to own the asset – suitable for short-term strategies such as leverage, hedging, or short-selling. Futures allow for amplified profits but also significantly increase risk. Understanding the differences between Spot and Futures helps traders choose strategies that align with their goals and risk tolerance.
