$NEAR fell 3.89% in Binance's rolling daily snapshot. The same price decline can have very different consequences depending on whether you borrowed to buy.
A fully paid spot holding has no margin liquidation triggered by the token's falling price. That does not make it safe: its market value still falls, and recovery is not guaranteed.
With leverage, losses consume the collateral supporting the position and can force an exit. Before comparing trades, identify whether borrowing is involved, not just which coin is held.
The downside risk for spot holders: a prolonged decline can still cause substantial losses.
