Why Trade Cryptocurrencies?

  • Decentralized

Cryptocurrencies are seldom affected by policy changes or geopolitical instability – and we have seen markets treat it as a safe-haven because of this.

  • Active

Cryptocurrencies are extremely active compared to traditional currencies. Prices can change remarkably within days or even hours. This creates a new frontier for trading.

  • More Choice

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.

  • New Opportunity

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.
