Open a cryptocurrency CFD account

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are much more volatile than traditional currencies and carry significant risks. Please also note that you won't own or have any rights in the underlying currency when you trade with Pepperstone. The cryptocurrency market is volatile so sharp and sudden moves in price could see you lose significant amounts of money very quickly.


Cryptocurrency CFDs are digital assets that are prone to huge price movements in value. Take advantage of this volatility by trading with us. Pepperstone offers traders the opportunity to trade cryptocurrencies without the need for a digital wallet or trading on a cryptocurrency exchange.
