Eightcap, a multi regulated, competitive global CFD and forex broker, is increasing the number of crypto derivatives available to its retail traders. Clients will soon have access to over 250 CFDs on major cryptocurrencies and altcoins, available to trade on both MT4 and MT5 as of 1st September 2021.
Not Your Bog Standard Crypto CFD Offering
Building on the successes of the code-free automated trading system and forex trader fest in the first half of 2021, Eightcap is further developing its services to improve the capability of its offerings to support diverse retail client portfolios. The quarter-thousand-strong asset launch is not limited to simple USD pairings of major altcoins, clients will also be able to trade a range of crypto-crosses and cryptocurrency indices. 
Sweetening the deal further, these crypto assets will be supported for both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 account types, so existing clients do not need to do anything to gain access to these offers.
Furthermore, Eightcap offers multiple funding options and fast withdrawal support for clients trading crypto CFDs. In addition to these benefits, there are zero commissions on all trades, competitive spreads, 24/7 trading, and more. With its international regulation in external jurisdictions, Eightcap’s crypto derivatives will be available to EU retail clients, which is especially good news considering Binance’s withdrawal from offering crypto CFDs in Europe.
About Eightcap, the Australian-based forex broker will be adding its 250 crypto assets to the existing range of CFDs, which already includes stocks, indices, commodities, and currency pairs. Account options are straightforward, with a Standard account for most clients and a Raw account with reduced spreads, commission charges, and greater support.
Eightcap’s retail clients can also take advantage of leverage rates much higher than those allowed by EU-regulated brokers, with a maximum rate of 1:500. Payment options are diverse, including payment cards, bank transfers, and e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller.
Eightcap’s software range is competitive, with both the latest MetaQuotes platforms and its own advanced automated trading tool, Capitalise.AI, which helps beginners create complex algorithmic trading strategies without coding. Traders interested in decentralized finance and blockchain-based trading will likely appreciate Eightcap’s move to become the largest crypto CFD broker for retail clients.
