What does Crypto CFD mean?
A crypto CFD is a contract for difference referencing a cryptocurrency price. It provides derivative exposure without transferring ownership of the referenced coin to the trader.
Example
A Bitcoin CFD gains value after a favorable price move, but the trader has no Bitcoin to withdraw from that position.
Illustrative example; not a provider’s quoted offer.Why it matters for prop traders
Check financing, trading hours and the provider's price feed. Crypto CFD charges are not necessarily exchange perpetual funding payments.
