Hi folks. I normally think of buying an asset as owning it, but some trading agreements seem to describe only exposure to its price. I would like to understand that difference before comparing any platforms with a broad market catalogue. If an instrument follows a share, a coin or an index, what documents tell me whether I receive ownership or only a contractual position? I am also interested in what happens to that position when it closes and whether features such as voting rights or moving coins to a personal wallet would apply. Please explain what to look for without assuming the product is a direct purchase.
