Introduction To Trading Digital Assets

Digital Assets, often known as Digital Currencies, are a revolutionary concept in terms of the technology which drives them and status they hold in society.

Digital Currencies, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Ripple are incredibly well known; however, something many traders overlook is that each of these Digital Currencies is powered by different technologies. Digital Currencies are governed by technology, secured by powerful cryptography, powered by a decentralised network of independent miners and incredibly transparent as all transactions are recorded on a public ledger, known as a blockchain. Besides the technology being truly fascinating, so are the assets. Bitcoin, for example, is not considered legal tender anywhere in the world but is regularly used for making cost-effective international transfers. Financial institutions lean towards Digital Currencies being assets rather than currencies. Digital Currencies are regularly used as both a trading instrument and payment instrument.


The Benefits Of Trading Digital Currency CFDs

Trading Digital Currencies using Contracts for Difference (CFDs) offers several advantages compared to purchasing coins and tokens from digital asset exchanges.

Trade Digital Currency CFDs in a regulated environment
The world of Digital Currencies and digital assets lacks clear regulations. AlphaMarkets is a regulated investment firm that offers CFDs, which are highly recognised across the globe.
Use leverage to decrease capital requirements
When you trade Digital Currencies as CFDs, you’re able to use leverage to reduce how much margin is required to open and maintain a position. When you trade Digital Currencies on an exchange, you need to buy and hold the coins in your account. Keep in mind that if used improperly, leverage can amplify losses.
Lower risk of low liquidity
Some exchanges experience liquidity issues, making it harder to buy or sell at the moment you want and offer a higher probability of experiencing slippage. As a CFD provider, AlphaMarkets sources liquidity from multiple sources.
Reliable funding methods
Many Digital Currency exchanges either lack reliable methods to fund trading accounts or charge high fees for making deposits and withdrawals which eat into profits,. AlphaMarkets offers free deposits & timely withdrawals.
Short sell Digital Currencies
Instead of buying and holding Digital Currencies from an exchange, you can open both long and short positions using CFDs, allowing you to speculate on prices falling as well as rising.
Low fees
Trade Digital Currencies without paying high fees. Exchanges can charge as much as 0.5% of your transactions. Costs this high make short term day trading too expensive. AlphaMarkets charges a fraction of what a crypto-exchange would.

Meet Bitcoin:  The Very First Digital Currency

Meet Bitcoin: 

The Very First Digital Currency

Bitcoin is the first of it’s kind and paved the way for the hundreds and thousands of Digital assets and digital tokens which followed. Bitcoin was introduced to the world in 2008, and became operational in 2009 as an open-source and decentralised peer-to-peer digital currency that could operate entirely autonomously from any government or bank.

Bitcoin lived as a fringe topic for many years, up until prominent US exchanges launched Bitcoin futures in 2017. Later, BTC rapidly ascended to record-breaking highs, stopping just short of $20,000. Since then, Bitcoin has become a household name in the world of online commerce and investing. Are you ready to start trading Bitcoin CFDs?
