Spot trading is the exchange of one digital asset for another. Using the ETH/BTC pair as an example, ETH is the asset you're buying or selling, and BTC is the asset used to price it. In simple terms, you use BTC to buy ETH. We currently support multiple spot trading zones, including USDT, TRY, and crypto. Spot markets operate 24/7 with real-time price updates, allowing you to trade at any time. Spot trade opening time for newly listed coins will be based on the official announcement.
Before you start spot trading, you need to transfer funds from your funding account to your trading account.
