The Crypto Spot Market, Explained
On a spot market you buy crypto at the current price and own it once the order fills. EVEDEX has no spot market: it lists perpetual futures that track prices without delivering coins.
What EVEDEX Offers Instead of Spot
Order Book Matching
Orders are matched off-chain in an order book, so placing them costs no gas, and trades settle on-chain on Arbitrum.
No Coin Delivery
A perpetual tracks the price without delivering coins: you post USDT margin and pay or receive funding while the position is open.
Zero Hidden Fees
Fees are no more than 0.015% maker and 0.045% taker before cashback and are shown before you confirm.
Personal Smart Account
Funds sit in a personal smart account, a smart contract on Arbitrum L2, and margin is posted in USDT.
Immediate Execution
Unlike futures or options, spot trades settle instantly — you receive the asset in seconds.
Common Questions
A spot market is where assets are bought and sold for immediate delivery at the current price. When you buy Bitcoin on the spot market, you own it right away — unlike futures or margin trading, where settlement happens later or involves borrowed funds.
Spot trading means you exchange cash for an asset today, with instant ownership. Futures involve contracts that settle at a future date, often with leverage. Spot markets carry no expiry date and no liquidation risk.
No. Spot market transactions are fully funded — you pay the full price upfront. There's no borrowing, no leverage, and no risk of liquidation beyond the value of your position.
Prices can vary slightly due to liquidity and order flow. Arbitrage traders help keep prices aligned, but spreads between exchanges do exist. For the most competitive rates, compare venues before executing large orders.
On a spot exchange, yes: once your order fills, the asset is yours, and you can withdraw it to an external wallet, subject to blockchain confirmation times. EVEDEX has no spot trades, and a perpetual position delivers no coins to withdraw.
