Cryptocurrencies
Bitcoin, Ether and other cryptocurrencies as CFDs: trade price changes 7 days a week, long or short, with no wallet or private keys.
Crypto CFDs
With a CFD you do not buy the cryptocurrency: no wallet is needed and you do not have to keep private keys. You take a position on the price change, falls included.
Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile: 10% moves in a day are not rare. That is why, for retail clients, the maximum leverage is 1:2.
