Confirm what type of crypto exposure is offered, if any
The first thing to establish is whether VT Markets currently offers any crypto instruments to residents of your country, and if so, in what form. A crypto CFD is a leveraged derivative that tracks a coin's price; you do not own the underlying asset and cannot withdraw coins to a wallet. That is very different from buying spot crypto on an exchange. Check the broker's product list, contract specifications and legal documents for your region, because crypto derivatives are restricted or banned for retail clients in some jurisdictions, and product ranges change over time.
- Check the current instrument list for your country of residence, not a generic global page.
- Establish whether any offering is a CFD or derivative rather than ownership of coins.
- Confirm whether retail clients in your jurisdiction are permitted to trade crypto derivatives.
- Note that product availability can change; verify at the time you plan to trade.
