#SpotVSFuturesStrategy Today the dilemma between spot and futures is more relevant than ever:
• Spot: ideal if you seek real ownership and a long-term HODL strategy, without leverage or margin
• Futures: perfect for speculation or risk hedging, with leverage, but watch out for margins, liquidations, and financing rates
🔍 In 2025, institutional investors have exploited the spot-futures difference (basis trade), taking advantage of inefficiencies like contango, combining spot or ETFs and shorts in futures to capture spreads
🛠️ My approach: I maintain a spot base for real exposure and a small percentage in futures (with low leverage) to trade swings or protect positions. This way I balance security and opportunity.
