CFDs or Physical Cryptos?

Let us settle the debate for you. CFDs offer advantages to the speculator that are not provided by underlying "physical" crypto market. They are:

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. If you do, you risk they may be hacked. If you do not, you have to learn how to use hardware wallets where one wrong keystroke could mean all funds are lost.

Crytpocurrencies are not widely accepted as payment for goods and services. No need to hold them physically.

Regulation That Protects

CFDs are regulated financial products. Physical crypto is not. To the investor that means the firm they deal with is subject to oversight by both regulators, auditors, and best execution committees. With a CFD, you can be sure you are receiving the best price available as it's a regulatory requirement. You are not guaranteed that with physical crypto.

Better Platforms

Our platforms are battle-tested and have been in development throughout Crypto Blue Trades's 20 year history. They are more feature-rich than the newly-established trading platforms of physical crypto companies. You may invest in any crypto product you like without regard for what you currently hold in your account. For example, an Crypto Blue Trades account in GBP can go long BTC/USD without need to first own USD. That is not the case with major crypto "exchanges".

Our Markets

Bitcoin (BTC/USD)

Bitcoin is a global form of digital currency. Unlike traditional currencies, which were frequently backed by gold and silver, bitcoin is based on distributed computing. While traditional currencies are printed by central banks, bitcoins are created or "mined" by distributed computer networks.

Ethereum (ETH/USD)

Ether is the digital currency used by Ethereum. Ether is the fuel or "gas" used to pay for transactions made on the Ethereum platform. Ether gives participants a reason to contribute resources used by the platform, thereby ensuring a robust network. Further, it provides developers with incentive to write efficient code, as inefficient software programs are more expensive.

Litecoin (LTC/USD)

Litecoin is an open-source, decentralized digital currency that was created in 2011 using code from a Bitcoin client. Because of the close relationship between the two, many have described Litecoin as being the Silver to Bitcoin's gold.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH/USD)

Bitcoin Cash is a cryptocurrency that forked from Bitcoin in 2017. Its one major difference is that the blocks in bitcoin cash's blockchain allow far more space and therefore have the capacity to hold significantly more transactions.

EOS (EOS/USD)

EOS is the cryptocurrency of the EOS network, a Blockchain platform built for developing dApps (distributed apps). The main aim of EOS is to build a much more scalable, faster, and more efficient version of Ethereum.

Stellar (XLM/USD)

Stellar is a platform that was designed to facilitate the transfer of funds instantly, anywhere in the world. The lumen, often abbreviated XLM, is the protocol token of the Stellar network
