The price, without the custody
Long or shortBuying a coin means an exchange account, a wallet and keys to keep safe. A crypto CFD gives you the price move without any of that, and lets you take a view on a falling market as easily as a rising one.

Bitcoin and Ether as CFDs against the dollar. Go long or short on the price, on the same account as your forex, with no exchange account or wallet to manage.
Live pricing
Crypto prices
Crypto CFDs are quoted against the US dollar and priced from the underlying spot market. Positions held past the daily rollover carry a financing charge on their full value, and crypto moves further in a day than most markets, so spreads are wider than on major FX pairs.

FAQs
Common questions
What traders ask us most often before they take their first crypto position.
Do I own any Bitcoin when I trade it here?
No. A crypto CFD is a contract on the price, not a claim on the coin. You cannot send it to a wallet, spend it or stake it, and nothing is ever delivered. You open a position, close it, and the difference is settled in cash in your account currency. If you want to hold the coin itself, an exchange and a wallet are the right tools, not this.
Can I make money when crypto prices fall?
Yes. Selling opens a short position, which gains when the price falls and loses when it rises. It works the same way as a short on a currency pair or an index, and carries the same risk: a short on a coin that rallies hard can lose quickly.
Why are crypto spreads wider than forex spreads?
Because the underlying market is thinner and moves further. Liquidity is split across many exchanges, and a coin can move several percent in an hour, so the cost of pricing it is higher than for EUR/USD. Spreads also tend to widen when volume drops or the market moves sharply.
How volatile is crypto compared with other markets?
Much more than most. Daily moves of 5% are common, and moves of 10–20% happen. With leverage on top, a position can lose a large share of its margin before you have time to react. Size a crypto position for that volatility, and use a stop loss on every trade.
What does it cost to hold a crypto position overnight?
A financing charge on the full value of the position, applied at the daily rollover. It is usually higher than on forex and applies whether you are long or short. For a trade held for hours it is small; over weeks it adds up.
How much leverage applies to crypto?
Leverage on crypto depends on your account type and the coin, and it is lower than on major currency pairs because the prices move so much further. The terminal shows the margin for each instrument before you trade. Treat the maximum as a ceiling, not a target.
What moves crypto prices?
Risk appetite across markets, interest-rate expectations, flows into and out of crypto funds, rule changes in large economies, and news about the big exchanges. Ether tends to follow Bitcoin, often further in each direction.
Can I hold crypto and forex positions on the same account?
Yes. Crypto, currency pairs, indices, metals and commodities are all quoted in the same terminal on one account number, and margin is shared across all your positions.
