## **Spot vs. Perps Account on Bluefin**

Bluefin offers two distinct trading options: Spot Trading and Derivatives (Perps) Trading. Understanding the differences will help you make informed decisions based on your strategy.

### **Spot Trading**

* **Immediate Settlement**: Spot trades are settled instantly on-chain.
* **CLMM Liquidity Pools**: Trade token pairs using concentrated liquidity pools for improved efficiency and reduced slippage.
* **Wallet-Based Trading**: Spot trading is directly tied to your connected wallet, allowing for seamless trading and liquidity provisioning without separate deposits.

### **Perps Trading**

* **Leveraged Positions**: Trade with up to 20x leverage, amplifying potential gains (and losses).
* **Wormhole USDC Only**: Currently, derivatives trading supports only Wormhole USDC as collateral. Native USDC integration is in progress.
* **Separate Account**: Derivatives trading requires separate deposits into your derivatives account, independent from your wallet balance used for spot trades.
