## 1. What is Spot Market?

The Spot Market is where assets are bought and sold immediately at the current market price. In addition to on-exchange Spot Trading, users can also explore Over-the-Counter (OTC) trading for personalized, off-exchange trading experiences.

In the context of a crypto exchange like Paytada, this market allows users to buy and sell various cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB),... at the current market price.

## 2. What is Spot Trading in crypto?

Spot trading refers to buying or selling a cryptocurrency immediately at its present market value, without the need to wait for the asset to hit a specific price for executing the trade.

Crypto spot trading can take place through three main avenues: centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, and over-the-counter (OTC) trades.

In contrast to more intricate trading methods like leverage trading and derivatives, spot trading involves reduced risks, albeit with comparatively modest rewards.
