Frequently asked questions
What are CFDs?
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.
How is CFD trading different from spot trading?
Spot trading means buying and selling actual crypto assets – you own them and can hold, swap, or withdraw them.
CFD trading, however, lets you speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. CFDs can also be leveraged, allowing you to control a larger position with less capital, but this also increases risk.
Why are Swyftx’s CFD prices different from other platforms?
Our CFD prices come from an aggregated feed of multiple liquidity providers, ensuring competitive pricing. However, prices and spreads may vary between platforms due to differences in liquidity sources.
