FAQs: Crypto Trading

Yes. XM supports Crypto CFDs trading including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and other Altcoins. Trade 24/7 via MT4/MT5. Open a free account through Power of Price.

Crypto CFDs are speculative contracts on coin prices: you don't own the actual coins. You can Long or Short, and use Leverage. Spot Crypto means buying real coins, holding in your wallet (suitable for long-term HODL).

XM offers Crypto leverage up to 1:1000 depending on account type. Leverage allows controlling large positions with small capital: but increases risk proportionally. Use with strong Risk Management.

Depends on your goal: for HODL 5+ years → buy real Bitcoin. For short to medium-term swing trading → BTCUSD CFD at XM is better, since you can use Leverage and don't worry about wallet security.
