1. Spot Trading
Spot trading involves buying or selling cryptocurrencies at the current market price with immediate settlement. Once the trade is executed, the user owns the actual cryptocurrency, which can be held, transferred, or used.
Features:
• Asset Ownership: Users own the purchased cryptocurrency.
• No Leverage: Trades are made with full capital, lower risk.
• Profit Mechanism: Users earn only if the asset price increases.
Example: If BTC is priced at 45,000 USDT, purchasing 1 BTC requires 45,000 USDT.
2. Futures Trading
Futures trading involves buying or selling contracts that represent the value of a cryptocurrency without owning the actual asset. It allows users to speculate on future price movements.
Features:
• Leverage: Users can open large positions with small margin, amplifying both profit and risk.
• Bidirectional Trading: Supports both long (bullish) and short (bearish) positions.
• No Asset Ownership: Positions are based on contracts, not the actual asset.
Example: With BTC at 45,000 USDT and 100x leverage, a 1 BTC futures position requires only 450 USDT margin.
