What types of assets can be traded in digital markets?

Digital markets offer diverse trading assets beyond cryptocurrencies. You can trade cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, altcoins (alternative coins), and tokens. Derivatives include futures contracts and options, allowing you to speculate on price movements with leverage. Decentralized Finance (DeFi) tokens represent governance rights or utility in blockchain platforms. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) represent unique digital items like art or collectibles. Some exchanges also offer tokenized traditional assets—stocks, commodities, or currencies converted to blockchain tokens. Spot trading involves buying assets outright for immediate ownership, while futures contracts let you trade future prices. Each asset class carries different risk levels and requires specific knowledge before trading.
