Just like standard currencies, cryptocurrencies (also known as crypto) are a form of digital currency that can be used as payment and exchanged for goods and services.
Each cryptocurrency is created or issued by a different organisation; a simple comparison would be different casinos issuing their own tokens or casino chips. Cryptocurrencies are only held online and operate using blockchain technology.
Blockchain is a form of decentralised technology that makes use of multiple computers to ensure and manage the integrity of transactions. As there is no central computer or authority that keeps a copy of these transactional records and all records are publicly visible, it makes it effectively impossible for any single person or entity to change the historical transactional data. This makes blockchain technology highly secure and adds to its trustworthiness.
Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency. It was created in 2008 as a “new world” currency that people could use in the knowledge that no single government or authority in the world is able to control or produce more of it.
Cryptocurrency CFDs let you speculate on prices without owning the underlying shares. You enter a contract with Axi to exchange the difference in the cryptocurrencies price between the contract's start and end.
While leverage has the potential to amplify gains, it can also lead to significant losses since prices can fluctuate rapidly and unexpectedly. If the market moves against your position, you may be required to deposit additional funds to maintain your open trade. Failure to meet a margin call can result in your positions being closed at a loss. In volatile market conditions, it might be difficult to close your position at the desired price. Sudden market movements can cause prices to "gap" over your stop-loss orders, potentially leading to larger-than-anticipated losses.
Yes. When trading a volatile cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as a CFD, it’s crucial to choose a reputable and accountable broker for your trades.
No. When trading Bitcoin as a CFD, you are effectively buying and selling the price movements of financial products. This allows you to benefit from the volatility that exists in the market for Bitcoin.
The main difference in trading with CFDs is that there is no need to physically (or in this case, virtually) own the asset that you are trading. When trading CFDs on Bitcoin, you are only speculating on the price fluctuations of the cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin CFDs allow you to participate in the Bitcoin market without having to physically (or virtually) own any Bitcoin. Hence, there is no need to own a cryptocurrency storage wallet or even be involved in the Bitcoin exchange.
Bitcoin wallets are highly vulnerable to hacking attacks and theft; once a wallet is hacked and Bitcoins are stolen, there is no way to recover them. To help avoid such risks, trading Bitcoin CFDs is a safe and regulated alternative.
