Leverage

Frequently Asked Questions

Spot trading means buying and selling actual crypto assets – you own them and can hold, swap, or withdraw them.

Leverage derivatives trading lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. CFDs, a type of leveraged OTC derivative, allow you to control a larger position with less capital, but this also increases risk.

Retail must complete online application:

  • A survey on your trading experience and current financial situation.

  • A derivatives product knowledge quiz to determine your suitability to trade a derivatives product.

    We require these checks to ensure you have the financial support and market knowledge to manage the risks of participating in crypto CFDs and leveraged trading.

Wholesale must meet one of the following:

  • Wholesale only: Net assets of at least AUD $2.5 million (as assessed under Corporations Act wholesale client tests).

  • Gross income of at least AUD $250,000 for each of the last two financial years.

    You will need an accountant certificate / asset declaration to be treated as a wholesale client.

CFDs, or Contracts for Difference, are leveraged financial instruments that allow you to speculate on price movements without actually owning the underlying asset. You can go long (buy) if you expect the price to rise or short (sell) if you expect it to fall.
For example, if you trade a Bitcoin CFD, you’re not actually buying Bitcoin itself.

Instead, you’re entering into a contract where you profit if the price moves in your favour or incur a loss if it moves against you. When CFDs are leveraged, they allow you to control a larger position with less capital, but this also increases risk.

The spread, Overnight Credit/Fee and long hold fees are dynamic amounts that can fluctuate. For more information regarding fees please check out our Swyftx Support Centre here.
