How to choose a forex and CFD broker

ForexRev eBook 2026 — what to check before you open an account.

Get the eBook

What is a crypto CFD?

A CFD on bitcoin or ether lets you trade the price change without buying the coin itself: you have no wallet and no ownership of the coins. You can go short, but you pay the spread and overnight financing, and crypto volatility is very high.

Leverage and risk

In the EU, leverage on crypto CFDs for retail clients is capped at 2:1 and brokers must apply negative balance protection. Crypto prices can move by more than ten percent in a day.

CFDs or real crypto?

Some brokers also sell real cryptocurrencies. In the EU this service requires authorisation under the MiCA regulation — check it in the broker’s review.

How we check

We check crypto availability in the offer of the company that serves EU clients (the broker’s website and documents). The order follows the same rating as the full broker ranking (how we rate).

Remember: CFDs are complex leveraged instruments and most retail investor accounts lose money on them. All CFD brokers in the EU — whatever their model — must apply leverage limits for retail clients and negative balance protection.
