In the current rate environment, "trading futures vs stocks" shows futures outperforming in capturing short-term macro-driven moves. Treasury yield shifts have caused sector-specific fluctuations in spot equities, but futures traders are swiftly adapting with micro-index contracts for targeted exposure. I recently compared two of the top stablecoins : Tether (CRYPTO: USDT) and USD Coin (CRYPTO: USDC) . Today, I'll examine two lesser-known USD stablecoins -- Ethena USDe (CRYPTO: USDE) and Dai (CRYPTO: DAI) -- and see if either token is worth buying. Bear in mind, however, that futures do have a wider spread than spot (cash) positions. Short-term momentum players in "trading futures vs stocks" prefer the leverage inherent in futures. A 1% index move can translate to significant percentage gains on smaller margin usage compared to fully-funded stock positions.
