Why Trade Cryptocurrencies with FXCM?
Start Small
Control and scale your position sizes with small contract sizes. One contract of BTCUSD at FXCM is equivalent to 1% of the underlying Bitcoin price.
Leverage
Trade the most popular cryptocurrencies with up to 4:1 effective leverage[1]. However, remember that trading on margin is risky as it can significantly increase your losses as well.
Short Trading
CFD traders can go long or short with a simple click of a button, and speculate on both the rise and fall of Cryptos.
Enhanced Execution
FXCM's Enhanced CFD Execution means you trade without minimum stop distances on most products, including BTC, LTC and ETH. Most strategies welcome.
No Fussing With Crypto Wallets Or Hardware Wallets
If you buy and sell physical cryptocurrencies you need to make a decision on whether or not you leave your physical cryptocurrencies with your provider. At FXCM, you are only betting on the price of the underlying crypto, without having to worry about the safe-keeping of the actual cryptocurrency.
Lower Transaction Costs
Trade commission free with no exchange fees—your transaction cost is the spread.
Platform of Choice
Our platforms are battle-tested and have been in development throughout FXCM's 20 year history. They are more feature-rich than the newly-established trading platforms of physical crypto companies. You may trade any crypto product you like without regard for what you currently hold in your account.
