You trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), Solana (SOL), etc.

Just like stock trading, the goal is to buy low and sell high (or short sell high and buy back low).

2. Types of Crypto Trading Operations

Spot Trading: Buying and selling coins at the current market price.

Margin Trading: Borrowing funds to trade larger positions (higher risk/reward).

Futures & Derivatives Trading: Speculating on the future price of a coin without owning it.

Arbitrage Trading: Exploiting price differences of the same coin on different exchanges.

Automated/Bot Trading: Using algorithms to trade 24/7.

3. Where it Happens

On exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin.

Through peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms.

On decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Uniswap or PancakeSwap.
