  In the spot market for digital currencies, trades are executed and settled immediately, meaning that the buyer receives the digital currency and the seller receives the payment right away. This is different from the futures market, where trades are agreed upon now but settled at a later date. Prices in the spot market are determined by supply and demand, with buyers and sellers negotiating and agreeing on a price. The spot market is where most of the trading volume in digital currencies takes place, and it provides liquidity and price discovery for these assets.

  The spot market for digital currencies works similarly to the spot market for other assets. When you place an order to buy or sell a digital currency, the trade is executed at the current market price. The settlement is done immediately, and the digital currency is transferred to your wallet or account. The spot market is open 24/7, allowing traders to buy and sell digital currencies at any time. It's important to note that the spot market is different from the OTC (over-the-counter) market, where trades are conducted directly between two parties without going through an exchange.
