What are crypto CFDs?
A crypto CFD is a contract that allows traders to trade on the difference in a cryptocoin’s price from when you first open a position to when you close it. This means you can make trades on whether you think a crypto will go up (or down) in value - and you can add leverage as well! As you are speculating on prices through a contract, you will not directly own the crypto coins or need a special “hot wallet” that might get cryptojacked. All crypto CFDs we offer are available on MT5.

What’s the main difference between crypto CFDs trading and crypto coins?
CFD (or ‘contracts for difference’) trading involves different types of contracts covering a diverse set of financial instruments such as indices, commodities or crypto - whereas crypto coins refer to assets held as virtual currency. As you don’t own the asset directly with a crypto CFD; you can open a position for a crypto coin’s price increasing (go long) or decreasing (go short). This allows the trader to capture potential profits on the rise or fall of prices - and to increase a position at a fraction of the deposit by using leverage. Always remember that prices can move up or down, so it’s important to always trade within your means and use appropriate risk management.
