Spot trading in cryptocurrency refers to the process of buying or selling crypto assets at the current market price.
For example, in the BTC/USDT trading pair, the quoted price reflects how much USDT is needed to buy (or will be received when selling) 1 BTC.
📌 Key Features of Spot Trading
✅ Requires crypto or stablecoin balance
Spot trading operates on an immediate settlement model — assets are exchanged instantly between buyer and seller through a transparent matching system.
✅ Own real assets with no expiration
Once purchased, crypto assets can be held indefinitely. Users can wait for value appreciation or swap them for other tokens. There are no forced liquidations or expiration terms.
✅ Transparent pricing with order matching
All trades are matched through an open order book, with prices driven by real-time supply and demand. The process is transparent, fair, and easily auditable.
