A spot transaction exchanges an asset at the current market price for prompt delivery, whether on a centralised exchange, decentralised platform or over-the-counter desk. Liquidity determines whether larger orders fill at one price or experience slippage. Unlike margin and futures trading, spot buyers fully acquire the asset without borrowing or relying on a future settlement contract.
