Crypto CFDs

A CFD on BTC/USD settles in cash and never touches a wallet — what that changes, and what it costs.

A CFD settles in cash: the coin never moves, and neither does a wallet. This is the route the money takes instead.

What a crypto CFD is, and what it is not

A CFD on BTC/USD is a contract with your broker that settles in cash. You never hold a coin, there is no wallet, no private key and no exchange account, and you cannot send what you bought anywhere. What you own is the price difference.

That cuts both ways. Custody risk disappears, and in exchange you take on the broker as counterparty, margin, and an overnight charge for every night the position stays open.

Leverage is the part that decides the outcome

BTC/USD can travel in a day what a metal travels in a month, so the leverage you pick is not a detail — it sets how far the market may go against you before the position is closed for you.

Work the two numbers out before you open anything: the margin locked by the size you want with the margin calculator, and the size that fits your stop with position size.

What this page will not do

It will not forecast a coin, rank exchanges, or print a spread table. Crypto spreads move with the hour and the venue, and a figure copied from somewhere else is the least reliable number on any page of this kind.

Where a figure appears here it comes from a broker document and carries the date we read it. The rest is the arithmetic of position size, which is yours to do and ours to make easy.

FAQ

Common questions

Do I own any bitcoin when I trade a BTC/USD CFD?

No, a CFD is a contract on the price of bitcoin, so no coins move to a wallet and you have no private keys. You profit or lose on the price difference, and the position is closed in cash. That removes wallet and custody risk but replaces it with counterparty and financing risk, which you should understand before trading.

How does leverage work on a crypto CFD compared with buying bitcoin?

Leverage lets you control a larger bitcoin position with less margin, so both gains and losses are magnified against your capital. The maximum available is the cap that applies to the entity serving this country, and it is a limit, not a target. At that cap a 0.10-lot position needs about $385.00 in margin.

What does a crypto CFD cost me over a day or a week?

Holding a crypto CFD costs the spread paid on entry and exit, any commission on your account type, and a swap or financing charge applied for each night the position stays open. Those charges depend on the account and market conditions, so check the live schedule, because a multi-day hold can cost more than the price move you expect.

Can a crypto CFD position be closed out without my consent?

Yes, if your free margin falls below the level your broker requires, the position can be closed automatically, which is why leverage discipline matters. Bitcoin can gap over a weekend, so a stop may not fill at the level you set. Keep margin well above the minimum and size positions so a normal move does not trigger a forced close.

Is trading a bitcoin CFD different from buying on a Philippine exchange?

Yes, buying on a local exchange gives you the asset itself, while a CFD gives you price exposure with leverage and no ownership. A CFD can be funded through GCash or bank transfer like other trading accounts, but the costs and risks are those of a leveraged contract. Decide which exposure you actually want before opening either.
