Risks
Leveraged trading imposes additional risk of loss to your capital.
No ownership interest – When trading cryptocurrency CFDs, you do not own the underlying asset. As a result, you're not entitled to certain benefits that traditional investors may receive.
Spreads – While we provide exchange-based spreads for our cryptocurrency CFDs, it's important to note that, like any market, the underlying spread may widen during periods of volatility. This can increase your trading costs.
