What is the initial capital or equity of the crypto CFD account?

Just like our other CFD accounts, the crypto CFD accounts have an initial capital or equity of €100,000.

Can I trade cryptos in my existing CFD account?

Because of the particular risk and volatility of cryptocurrencies, standard CFD accounts cannot trade cryptocurrencies. You’d need to hold a dedicated crypto CFD account to access the assets above.

What is the leverage available in crypto CFD accounts?

Crypto CFD accounts include 1:1 leverage.

Can I go long and short on crypto CFDs?

You have the flexibility to go long or short, meaning you can buy and sell cryptos, potentially profiting from both rising and falling markets.

Can I trade crypto CFDs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?

For the time being, crypto CFDs will be tradable 24 hours a day, Monday through Friday. We will monitor the performance of this service and consider extending it to 24/7 in the future.

How do I open a Crypto CFD Account?

Simply click the “Open your Crypto CFD Account” link provided on our website to get started.

If you already hold a Darwinex Zero account, you’d need to sign up under a different username and email address to open a new CFD crypto account.

What are the costs associated with this account?

The Crypto CFD Account is available for a flat fee of €38 (or $43) per month. 1 Year and 3 Year subscriptions are also available for even greater value.

Are crypto CFD accounts eligible for DarwinIA and Permanent Allocations?

Yes, they are. Crypto CFD accounts include the same benefits as the rest of CFD accounts we offer on Darwinex Zero. Crypto CFD DARWINs are open to professional investors worldwide and to retail investors under Darwinex EU (regulated by the Spanish CNMV).

Please note that for now, crypto CFD accounts cannot be migrated to Darwinex.

Where can I get more information or support?
