Crypto CFDs
Cryptocurrency CFDs (Contracts for Difference) are derivative trading instruments that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of cryptocurrencies without owning the actual digital assets. In essence, cryptocurrency CFDs let you bet on whether the price of a specific cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, will rise or fall.
Virtual currency pairs are typically composed of two currencies. One currency is called the ‘base currency,’ and the other currency is called the ‘counter currency.’ The base currency serves as the price benchmark, while the counter currency is used to represent that price. In other words, the price displayed on the exchange is the price of one unit of the counter currency per unit of the base currency. For example, in the BTC/USD pair, Bitcoin (BTC) is the base currency, and the US Dollar (USD) is the counter currency. The price of this pair indicates the price of one Bitcoin in US Dollars.
