Deliverable Spot Trading

Definition

Deliverable Spot Trading involves the immediate exchange of an asset for another at the current market price, with the actual underlying assets being transferred between parties. In the context of digital assets, this means direct ownership of the cryptocurrency is transferred from seller to buyer shortly after the trade is executed. This contrasts with derivatives trading, where only contracts representing asset value are exchanged. It represents a direct acquisition of the digital asset.
