FAQs
How is trading Crypto CFDs different from buying crypto?
When you typically buy crypto you cannot take a leveraged position or go short. You usually just buy the asset. However, when you trade a Crypto CFD, because you are trading the derivative of the asset, you can short it without first holding it. The other major benefit is that with a Crypto CFD you can use leverage to increase your position size without needing more capital.
Do I need to pay a fee to open a position?
At Global Prime we believe that traders should not have to pay exorbitant amounts to trade, so crypto traders only pay 0.1% commissions per trade.
Are there any other fees?
Each day at 0:00 MetaTrader server time, there will be an overnight financing charge to keep your position open. This is updated daily and available in your MetaTrader platform.
Will I receive staking rewards?
When you are trading a Crypto CFDs you will not receive any staking rewards, similar to if you were trading the raw asset. In crypto, staking awards are only given to assets that are staked on chain.
Can I try a demo?
