ABOUT CRYPTO CFDS
What are crypto CFDs?
A crypto CFD is a contract that allows traders to trade on the difference in a cryptocurrency’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. As you are speculating on prices through a contract, you will not directly own the crypto coins or need a special “hot wallet” to hold your coins.

CFD (or ‘Contract for Differences’) 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.
Crypto coins normally need to be held in a special wallet and their value is affected by market events. 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.
