What crypto CFDs are and why availability varies
A crypto CFD is a contract that tracks the price of a cryptocurrency without giving you ownership of the coin itself. You cannot withdraw the underlying asset to a wallet; you hold a leveraged contract with the broker as your counterparty. Because regulators treat crypto derivatives differently around the world, a broker may offer crypto CFDs to clients of one entity and not another, or may restrict them for retail accounts entirely. That is why no page on this site should be read as confirmation of availability. Your first task is to establish whether the specific Moneta Markets entity that would onboard you actually lists crypto CFDs for your client category and country of residence.
- Crypto CFDs track price only; you never own or transfer the underlying coin.
- Availability can differ by broker entity, country and retail versus professional status.
- Some regulators prohibit crypto derivatives for retail clients, so residence matters.
- Instrument lists change; a symbol shown in old reviews may no longer be tradable.
