Why crypto here

Crypto exposure, broker discipline

Bitcoin and the majors as CFDs, held in the same regulated account with the same risk tools. You never touch a wallet or an exchange.

  • Spreads from 0.05%

    Priced from aggregated venue liquidity with the full spread on the ticket. Costs rise with volatility, and you see it happen.

  • 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. You can see how each price is built.

The always-on relay

One book, no shifts

Crypto never hands the book to a next desk, because there is no next desk. The market runs continuously, seven days a week, without an opening bell or a close. The rhythm survives anyway. Liquidity still breathes to the desks' clock: the wave reads when the book usually runs thick or thin, and the band beneath it reads the weekend. Availability stays entity-specific: where you can trade crypto CFDs depends on your jurisdiction.

Deepest 14:00 – 17:00 UTC, the same hours forex calls the London and New York overlap. Thinnest 04:00 – 08:00 UTC, after the US desks wind down and before Europe arrives.

What 24/7 changes

  • No close, no reset

    There is no daily bell to draw a line under the book: no close to settle against, no open to gap from, no reset to clear a move. Stops and alerts keep working through the night and the weekend, which cuts both ways. They can trigger at any hour, at whatever depth the book has at that moment.

  • Thin hours read wider

    Through the 04:00 – 08:00 UTC trough the book typically runs at roughly a third of its daily peak. Spreads read wider there, and the same size moves price further than it would in the deep belt. These are typical patterns drawn by the desk, not quoted spreads.

  • Funding never sleeps

    There is no triple-charge Wednesday here; that is an artefact of markets that close for the weekend. Crypto funding accrues at every eight-hour stamp, seven days a week: weekend intervals are charged as they happen, not booked in advance. The funding column in the table below shows the published legs.

The seven-day band

Not live
  • Mon: typical depth 92% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.0 the weekday base.
  • Tue: typical depth 97% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.0 the weekday base.
  • Wed: typical depth 100% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.0 the weekday base.
  • Thu: typical depth 98% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.0 the weekday base.
  • Fri: typical depth 90% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.0 the weekday base.
  • Sat: typical depth 68% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.3 the weekday base.
  • Sun: typical depth 62% of the weekday peak, spreads around ×1.4 the weekday base.

The book does not close on Friday night. It thins. Weekend depth typically runs down to about 62% of the weekday peak and spreads widen to around ×1.4 their weekday base, so the same order moves price further on a Sunday than it does on a Wednesday.

Late Sunday UTC is the week's pressure point: futures desks and TradFi hedges come back to a book that has run thin for two days, and weekend moves meet their first deep prints there. Carry size through a weekend, and that window is where it gets repriced.

The venue panel

Where the quote on this page comes from

Crypto has no single tape; the same coin prints on many venues at once. Every quote on this page is a median blended from a named set of centralised venues, so one thin book can never set the number you see.

The median blend

Three steps: collect every print in the coin's venue set, let the median strike the extremes, publish the middle as the quote you see here. The full venue-cohort and weighting rules live in the aggregation method.

Blend pipeline

Worked set BTC/USD — Coinbase · Kraken · Bitstamp · LMAX Digital

QUOTE010203
  1. Collect

    Every centralised venue in the coin's set contributes a mid-price print: four books for the deepest majors, three for most other coins.

  2. Trim

    The stray high and the stray low are struck by construction. A median never lets the extremes set the quote, so a single thin venue print is simply ignored.

  3. Median

    The middle of the stack becomes the quote you see on this page.

Venue sets by family

The venue set behind each family is small and named in full. The venue count barely moves family to family; the depth gradient shows in how far apart venue prints sit before blending.

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. The always-on relay above draws that rhythm hour by hour; the funding ledger below prices a full week of it.

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

The prices on this page aggregate the top centralised venues by depth. The displayed quote is a blended median; a single thin venue won't move it. The venue panel above names each family's venue set and draws the blend.

Funding rates

Funding turns positive when perp price runs ahead of spot, so longs pay shorts. Persistent positive funding signals crowded longs; negative funding is the mirror.

Availability gating

Crypto derivatives availability is entity-specific. UK retail can't access these products; EU retail leverage is capped under ESMA's product-intervention rules. Check your jurisdiction before trading.

FAQ·6 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 funding-style adjustment applies, quoted per day and accrued in eight-hour intervals. It is typically a debit in both directions, and it accrues on weekends too. The applied rate is shown on each instrument page and itemised on your statement.

  • Do I pay funding on weekends?

    Yes. Crypto funding accrues every eight hours, seven days a week, and weekend nights are charged as they happen. There is no triple-swap day to book the weekend in a lump, as FX and metals do. The funding ledger below itemises a full week of it on a worked ticket.

  • Where does the price on this page come from?

    It is a median blended from a named set of centralised venues: four books for the deepest majors, three for most coins. A single thin venue can never set the number. The venue panel above names each family's venue set; the price you deal on comes from the platform at execution.

  • 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.

Holding costs

The funding ledger

Close a crypto CFD intraday and you pay the spread once. Keep it open and a funding-style rate takes over. It accrues in eight-hour intervals, seven days a week, because this market never closes. Both directions usually pay. All of it is arithmetic, not mystery, itemised here for the coin this page works through.

The funding leg

Crypto CFDs don't fund off a cash benchmark the way shares or commodities do. The cost follows the perpetual-futures convention: a funding-style rate plus our markup, quoted in percent per day and applied every 8 hours, at 00/08/16 UTC, every day of the week. The long leg usually pays more than the short leg, and either can flip sign when funding does.

Positive values are credited to the account; negative values are debited. Funding accrues on the full notional, not on your margin, and the usual posture debits both directions.

  • Overnight financingDaily, incl. weekends

    A daily adjustment that applies in both directions and accrues on weekends too. Crypto never closes, and neither does financing.
