Spot vs. Futures Trading – What’s the Difference?
If you're new to crypto, you’ve likely heard the terms “spot” and “futures” trading. But what’s the difference?
📍 Spot Trading:
Spot trading means buying or selling crypto at the current price.
You actually own the asset — like buying Bitcoin and holding it in your wallet.
✅ Simple and safe
✅ Good for beginners
✅ No borrowing or leverage
Futures trading means betting on the future price of a coin — without owning it.
You trade a contract, not the real crypto.
✅ Can earn from rising or falling prices
✅ Allows leverage (borrowed money)
⚠️ Risky — you can lose more than you invest
