CFDs are complex instruments and carry a significant risk of losing money. Leverage cap, retail loss percentage, and crypto availability are entity-specific — see risk disclosure for your jurisdiction.

Crypto exposure, broker discipline
Bitcoin and the majors as CFDs — no wallets, no exchanges, the same regulated account and risk tools as everything else.
Spreads from 0.05%
Crypto priced from aggregated venue liquidity with the full spread on the ticket — costs scale visibly with volatility.
24/7 markets
Crypto never closes. Positions, alerts, and stops work through the weekend — and so does the risk.
Volatility, sized properly
Daily ranges that dwarf FX demand smaller positions — the calculators size crypto trades with the same risk math as every other class.
An auditable method
Venue aggregation, weekend financing, and spread construction are documented in the Markets Method — see how each price is built.

Crypto primer·6 short cards
Spot vs perpetual
Spot crypto tracks the underlying coin. Perpetual futures track spot via a funding mechanism — longs and shorts pay each other every 8h to keep the contract anchored to spot.
Trading 24/7
Crypto markets never close. Liquidity ebbs around weekend Asian hours; spreads can widen and gaps can develop without a session reset.
Realised volatility
30-day realised vol is the standard volatility yardstick. Majors run 30-60% annualised in calm markets; alt-L1s and DeFi names easily hit 80-120%; memes break 150%.
Exchange aggregation
Reference prices aggregate the top centralised venues by depth. The displayed quote is a blended median; a single thin venue won't move it.
Funding rates
Funding turns positive when perp price runs ahead of spot — longs pay shorts. Persistent positive funding signals crowded longs; flip-side for negative funding.
Availability gating
Crypto derivatives availability is entity-specific. UK retail can't access these products; EU caps under MiCA. Check your jurisdiction before trading.
FAQ·4 questions
How much leverage does crypto get?
Retail crypto leverage is capped low — commonly 1:2 — because daily ranges are an order of magnitude wider than FX. Availability is entity-specific; some jurisdictions restrict retail crypto CFDs entirely.
Does crypto really trade 24/7?
Yes — including weekends, when traditional rails are closed and liquidity thins. Stops and alerts keep working, but expect wider spreads in the quiet hours.
What does holding crypto overnight cost?
A daily financing adjustment applies, typically a debit for both directions, and it accrues on weekends too. The applied rate is shown on each instrument page and itemised on your statement.
How should I size crypto positions?
By risk, not conviction: a 5% daily move in Bitcoin is unremarkable. Size so that a normal day's range costs a fraction of your account — the position-size calculator does this for crypto the same way it does for FX.

- Overnight financingDaily, incl. weekends
A daily adjustment that applies in both directions and accrues on weekends too — crypto never closes, and neither does financing.
- CommissionSpread-only
No separate commission on standard accounts — the spread is the cost. Raw accounts price commission per side, entity-specific.
