Cryptocurrencies changed the face of global finance – touted as the next evolutionary stage of currency. If you want to be on bleeding edge of technology and the currency markets, then cryptocurrencies are the perfect choice.
Cryptocurrencies are seldom affected by policy changes or geopolitical instability – and we have seen markets treat it as a safe-haven because of this.
Cryptocurrencies are extremely active compared to traditional currencies. Prices can change remarkably within days or even hours. This creates a new frontier for trading.
Each market has its own benefits and disadvantages, knowing when and in what combination these should be taken advantage of can optimize your trading strategy.
We have seen cryptos enter the mainstream, skyrocket to five figures and plummet within a few months. CFDs allow you to both buy and sell the underlying cryptocurrency.
