Online Cryptocurrency Trading - Cryptocurrency CFDs *

Cryptocurrency CFDs are derivatives that allow traders to speculate crypto without becoming direct owners of the underlying asset.

The cryptocurrencies are traded as pairs against regular currencies. For example Ethereum, one of the most famous cryptocurrencies, is traded for example ETHUSD. With crypto CFD trading there is no need to have an account on a crypto exchange or a crypto wallet to trade.

IFC Markets takes the prices for cryptocurrencies, as well as the futures prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum etc., from the most reliable exchanges.

Crypto CFD Trading

Cryptocurrency trading is speculation on the price movement of a cryptocurrency or buying and selling base coins through an exchange.

What is Cryptocurrency Trading?

Cryptocurrency trading refers to speculating on the price changes of digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Ripple. With CFDs, you gain exposure to these markets without owning the coins directly. Instead of opening a crypto wallet, you simply trade contracts based on whether you expect the price to move up or down.

World crypto CFDs give traders access to global markets without physically owning the assets. It’s about speculating on price movements, making them flexible and accessible trading tools.

How to Trade Cryptocurrency CFDs

Getting started with crypto CFD trading is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step outline:

Choose a trading platform – Open an account with IFC Markets and select the platform that suits your style (NetTradeX, MT4, or MT5).
Select a cryptocurrency pair – For example, Bitcoin (BTCUSD), Ethereum (ETHUSD), or Ripple (XRPUSD).
Decide your direction – Open a long position if you believe prices will rise, or a short position if you expect them to fall.
Set position size and leverage – Decide how much capital to commit and whether to apply leverage (up to 1:10).
Manage your trade – Use stop-loss and take-profit tools to manage risk.
Close your position – Finalize the trade by closing it manually or through automated settings.

Example: If Bitcoin is trading at $65,000 and you think it will rise, you go long. If it climbs to $68,000, you profit. If it falls to $62,000, you will suffer losses.
