A spot market is a public commodity or financial market where financial instruments or commodities are traded for immediate delivery. In the context of digital assets, this refers to exchanges where cryptocurrencies can be bought and sold at the current market price for prompt settlement. Spot markets are fundamental for price discovery and provide liquidity for assets. They represent the most direct form of trading an asset at its prevailing valuation.
