What is Spot trading
The "spot" refers to the cryptocurrency owned by the trader, and spot trading means that the trader exchanges a certain amount of cryptocurrency with other traders for another cryptocurrency, so it is also called "currency exchange". . Traders on the platform must first deposit money on the platform before they can conduct spot transactions.
The difference between Spot trading and Convert
The interface and order placement method of Spot is similar to that of contracts, and users bid for currency in the spot trading market all the time. The platform will also provide the currency's rise and fall charts, limit market price trading, and pending order functions.
Convert is a more intuitive and fast way to exchange cryptocurrencies without looking at the market. After the trader enters the currency and quantity and presses the trial calculation, as long as the trader accepts the trial exchange rate and there is a corresponding amount in the flash exchange market, the exchange can be successful.
The nouns are different, but both are also doing spot trading.
Differences between Spot trading and Contract trading
Cryptocurrency contracts are contracts that represent the value of a specific cryptocurrency. When a user buys a contract in the contract market, the user does not own the underlying cryptocurrency.
In the spot market, users buy and sell cryptocurrencies with instant delivery. In other words, cryptocurrencies are transferred directly between buyers and sellers in the market, so in the spot market, users need to own cryptocurrency before they can trade.
