Crypto CFDs vs buying coins
| Crypto CFD | Buying the coin | |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | No — a price contract | Yes — held in a wallet |
| Go short | Yes | Not directly |
| Leverage | Up to 1:10 | None on spot |
| Wallet / keys | Not needed | You manage them |
| Overnight cost | Swap on open positions | None |
CFDs suit traders who want to act on short- and medium-term price moves. Swap charges on crypto positions are significant, so CFDs are generally less suited to holding for months.
The risks are higher here
Cryptocurrencies are among the most volatile markets you can trade and can move 10% or more in a day. Leverage is capped at 1:10 or lower for that reason. Only trade crypto with money you can afford to lose.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a crypto wallet?
No. You trade price movements as CFDs, so there are no coins to store. You do fund your account in USDT, which needs a wallet or exchange to send from.
Can I trade crypto at weekends?
Crypto markets trade every day. Check the trading hours for each symbol in the platform, as they can differ from forex.
What leverage applies to Bitcoin?
Up to 1:10 on Bitcoin and Ethereum, and between 1:4 and 1:10 on other coins.
