Use this guide as an educational checklist. Confirm current platform terms and local eligibility before opening, funding, or connecting any account.

Spot exposure is simpler but not risk-free

Spot trading means buying or selling the asset itself on the platform. Prices can still move sharply and custody choices still matter.

Futures add leverage and liquidation risk

Futures can amplify gains and losses. Liquidation mechanics, funding costs, and margin requirements make them unsuitable for many users.

Decision rule

Use this guide as a checklist, not as financial advice. Confirm current platform terms, local eligibility, and risk limits before opening or funding any account.
