Cryptocurrency CFDs are digital instruments known for their significant price volatility, allowing traders to take advantage of rapid market movements. However, they also carry a high level of risk and can result in substantial losses due to sudden market swings. At Pepperstone you can trade cryptocurrency CFDs¹ without the need for a digital wallet or access to a cryptocurrency exchange. Our platforms empower you to trade seamlessly 24/7, giving you uninterrupted market exposure without weekend downtime or associated price gaps.²

Risks

Leveraged trading imposes additional risk of loss to your capital.

No ownership interest – When trading cryptocurrency CFDs, you do not own the underlying asset. As a result, you're not entitled to certain benefits that traditional investors may receive.

Spreads – While we provide exchange-based spreads for our cryptocurrency CFDs, it's important to note that, like any market, the underlying spread may widen during periods of volatility. This can increase your trading costs.

Risks in trading cryptocurrencies

What are the risks involved?

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are much more volatile than traditional currencies and carry significant risks. Please also note that you won't own or have any rights in the underlying currency when you trade with Pepperstone. The cryptocurrency market is volatile so sharp and sudden moves in price could see you lose significant amounts of money very quickly.

The underlying crypto markets are open over the weekends. We don’t offer a separate ‘weekend symbol', so when you open a position, you’ll be doing so with the same symbol you trade with during the week.

Stop losses, take profits and pending orders to open on all cryptocurrency positions (excluding Dash) can be triggered during our weekend trading times.

Please note that weekend positions with attached stops/limits will not be netted off against existing weekday contracts. In this instance the weekend position will roll into a new weekday position, with the same stops/limits attached. Similarly, weekend positions will not net off against existing weekday contracts if the weekday contracts have stops/limits attached. In this instance, weekend positions will be rolled into new weekday contracts.
