What our Traders say about us
What is Bitcoin?
Decentralized
Bitcoin isn’t generally affected by policy changes or geopolitical instability – and we’ve even seen it being treated as a safe-haven during global volatility because of this.
Always Moving
Bitcoin moves a lot more than traditional currencies. Prices can significantly change within days or in the span of hours. This may create new opportunities for trading.
More Choice
CFDs means you don’t even need a Bitcoin wallet to trade the world’s favorite cryptocurrency. Also, your funds aren’t held in an exchange – but in segregated customer accounts.
BTC/USD
easyMarkets offers clients Bitcoin USD currency pair giving the trader a wealth of news, giving you a deeper understanding of the currency pairs’ future movements.

Trading Bitcoin CFDs VS. Buying and Selling Bitcoin
| Trading Bitcoin CFDs | Buying and Selling Bitcoin |
|---|---|
| Buy or sell at anytime | Transactions based on finding someone willing to buy or sell at the price you want on an exchange. |
| Benefit from both the rise (i.e. going long) or the drop (i.e. going short, or short selling Bitcoin) | They only benefit when the asset is falling is it may be purchased at a lower price. |
| Proprietary risk management tools, negative balance protection, no slippage and fixed spreads. | Little to no risk management other than a bitcoin trading strategy set by the trader. |
| Deep analytical data using easyMarkets native platform or MT4, one of the world’s most popular trading platforms offered for free. | Third party solutions, some require payment or subscriptions. |
| Sign up for an account and then choose from our 200+ instruments including Bitcoin. No need for a Bitcoin wallet or sign up to a Bitcoin exchange. | Finding the best bitcoin exchange and the type of bitcoin wallet you want can be an involved process. |
| Trading Bitcoin CFDs with easyMarkets gives you access to a regulated broker established in 2001 and award-winning customer support. With almost two decades of experience we have developed multiple safeguards to protect our clients. | Although some exchanges are reliable and creditable, there are many that are largely unregulated, exposing clients to unnecessary risk. As we’ve seen in the news, Bitcoin exchanges are also vulnerable to hacking where clients could potentially lose all of their assets. |
