Leveraged spot trading involves buying or selling digital assets on the immediate delivery market using borrowed funds to amplify potential gains. This strategy allows traders to control a larger position with a smaller amount of their own capital. While it can increase profits, it also significantly elevates the risk of substantial losses. This method is common in highly volatile cryptocurrency markets.
Context

A key debate involves the appropriate level of leverage offered to retail investors and the educational resources available. Future regulatory scrutiny will likely focus on consumer protection measures and transparency requirements for platforms facilitating such high-risk activities.
