Another blinding year for Bitcoin, with gains of 106%*, the launch of the Bitcoin ETF, which marked a watershed moment for the leading crypto, and loads of institutional funds piling in. All of this means opportunity for Bitcoin traders.
Why Bitcoin CFDs?
Trading Bitcoin as a CFD, rather than buying the actual asset comes with many strong benefits.
- When you trade Bitcoin, you don’t have to go through the frustrating process of opening accounts with exchanges and wallets, that usually aren’t regulated or secure.
- Trading Bitcoin online with AvaTrade means that you can use the facility of leverage to increase the buying power of your trade. For instance, leverage of 1:5, means your $100 position is now worth $500. This comes with greater rewards (and risks too!)
- When you buy Bitcoin, you need the price to go up in order to make profit. When you trade Bitcoin CFD, you can also trade in a down trending market, by taking a sell position (going short)
