Crypto or cryptocurrency is digital or virtual currency like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A crypto CFD is a derivative product, and when you place a CFD crypto trade, you agree to exchange the difference between the initial and final price of the underlying asset. Go long or place a crypto CFD buy trade if you believe the price will increase or go short or place a sell trade if you think the price will decline. You can use leverage in crypto CFD trading to amplify potential profits if your prediction on price movements proves correct.

Crypto CFD trading FAQs
What are crypto CFDs?
A crypto CFD is a contract that allows you 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 cryptocurrency or digital currency will go up (or down) in value without actually owning the asset.
Crypto CFDs also let you add leverage to amplify potential rewards. Leverage allows you to control larger positions with less initial capital, but it also comes with increased risk as losses are also amplified. All the crypto CFDs we offer are available on MT5.
What crypto CFDs can I trade?
We offer premium crypto CFDs with up to 10:1 leverage on MT5. These include Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Shiba – with tight spreads all under 1%, including US$5 on BTCUSD and US$0.30 on ETHUSD.

What’s the main difference between trading crypto CFDs and crypto coins?
Crypto coins are virtual currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin. They can be used to pay for products and services in transactions that are logged as encrypted records in decentralised and distributed peer-to-peer ledgers called blockchains. You can trade cryptocurrency by buying or selling crypto coins in cryptocurrency exchanges, but you can also trade crypto CFDs via a CFD trading account.
Crypto CFDs or ‘contracts for difference’ are derivative instruments that give you exposure to the price movements of their underlying cryptocurrency without vesting or requiring ownership of crypto coins. Trading crypto CFDs means opening a long position if you believe the price will increase or a short position if you believe it will decrease. You’ll profit if you predict the price movement correctly. Crypto CFDs, therefore, allow you to capture potential gains from both rising and falling crypto prices.
With crypto CFD trading, you can enter the market with smaller initial investment using leverage. Leverage allows you to get access to bigger positions with only a small margin. Meanwhile, in trading crypto coins you must buy coins and pay for the full value of those coins to open a position. You can then store your coins in your wallet until you’re ready to sell. You will profit from the trade if you sell when the price of the cryptocurrency increases.
When trading cryptocurrencies, remember that prices can move up or down. Therefore, always trade within your means, even when using leverage, and use appropriate risk management.
