Dukascopy provides leveraged CFD trading on price movements of cryptocurrencies, its derivatives or value estimations.

Unlike traditional purchase of cryptocurrencies trading cryptocurrency CFDs (Crypto) allow speculative operations without having a digital wallet. There is no need to own cryptocurrency coins, which reduces cyber security risks.

Due to the leverage provided on trading accounts clients can hold cryptocurrency CFD positions larger than the amount of traditional currency initially owned.

Similar to other CFDs and FX instruments, cryptocurrency CFD can be short or long so the client can benefit from price movements in both directions, up and down.

Features of Crypto Trading

Margin trading on Crypto provides great opportunity for traders to:

Trade Long & Short

It is easy to speculate in both sides and earn on any price movement

Use Leverage

You can deposit less than your contract size on Crypto

Trade Safely

No need to store Crypto in a digital wallet, so cyber security is higher

Meet the Regulations

Unlike Dukascopy, many providers of Crypto are still not regulated

Hedge Risks

If you hold actual digital currency you may open short position on it and lock the price

Use Deposit Protection

Deposits of clients of Dukascopy Europe are protected in the amount of EUR 20'000 by EU regulation.
