Saxo Offers Crypto Derivatives Trading On Cryptos
Published on: May 20, 2021
Saxo Markets, the retail broker’s digital investing branch, has launched trading on three leading cryptos. The major tokens will be available against the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. Clients can start trading the digital currencies alongside other assets from a single margin account.
New Crypto Derivatives
Saxo Markets’ latest cryptos will be available as derivatives allowing traders to take long and short positions. Retail investors can access leverage up to 1:2 with accredited traders receiving rates up to 1:3.
To start with, the broker’s new Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum assets will only be available to clients from Australia and Singapore. With that said, Saxo has plans to extend the crypto derivatives to other jurisdictions, though due to regulatory restrictions, the assets will only be available to professional clients from the UK.
Saxo’s commercial owner of trader sentiment, Stanislav Kostyukhin, added “Saxo Bank has developed a unique proposition which gives our clients access to the growing crypto space in a flexible, secure, and hassle-free manner from a single fully-licensed account without the need to use wallets or cold storage solutions.”
