Exness offers Bitcoin—often considered the epitome of cryptocurrency—not only in currency pairs such as the US dollar, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan, but also in pairs with gold and silver. Furthermore, Exness allows you to trade Bitcoin with "no commissions, no swap points, and low spreads," making it possible to start trading with even a small amount of capital. Since Exness’s Bitcoin trading incurs no swap points, it is also well-suited for swing trading, where positions are held for extended periods.
Exness offers Bitcoin-related instruments across four account types: Standard, Low Spread, Zero, and Pro. Enjoy Bitcoin trading with minimal fees in Exness’s superior trading environment.
Bitcoin (BTC) was launched in 2009 as the world’s first cryptocurrency following the publication of a paper by an individual (or group) known as Satoshi Nakamoto. Since Bitcoin trading began, many other cryptocurrencies have emerged in its wake, but Bitcoin’s popularity remains undiminished, and it continues to be widely traded around the world. While the cryptocurrency market is generally characterized by high price volatility, Bitcoin’s high trading volume makes its price relatively more stable than that of other cryptocurrencies.
With Exness, you can trade Bitcoin 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, in a safe and convenient trading environment. You can trade around the clock, even on weekends, global holidays, Christmas, and New Year’s, so you’ll never miss a trading opportunity.
Additionally, for FX currency pairs and other CFD products that close over the weekend, traders often close their positions before the market closes on Friday. This is to avoid significant losses caused by “gaps”—discrepancies between Friday’s closing price and Monday’s opening price—should unexpected price fluctuations occur over the weekend. However, since Bitcoin is open 24 hours a day, including weekends, there is no need to close positions in anticipation of a gap at the start of the week.At Exness, deposits made via credit card or online wallet are processed instantly, even on weekends. So please make the most of your weekend time and enjoy trading Bitcoin.
At Exness, you can trade Bitcoin in eight different currency pairs, as well as against gold and silver; however, all of these are CFDs (Contracts for Difference). In CFD trading, profits and losses are determined by the difference in price between the opening and closing of a trade. If you make a profit, only that amount is added to your margin; conversely, if you incur a loss, only that amount is deducted from your margin.
Typically, in spot Bitcoin trading, you buy Bitcoin at a low price and sell it when the price rises to make a profit. However, with Exness’s Bitcoin CFD trading, you can enter a long position during an uptrend and a short position during a downtrend. Since you can hold positions in both rising and falling markets, you can capitalize on more trading opportunities.
Since Exness does not allow users to hold physical Bitcoin, you cannot earn rewards through lending or staking, which are unique to cryptocurrencies.
"Staking" is a mechanism whereby you can earn a fixed percentage of rewards as compensation for participating in a blockchain network by holding cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin. When staking, the sale of your cryptocurrency may be restricted for a certain period, so it carries risks during periods of sudden market volatility. "Lending" is a mechanism whereby you earn interest by lending your held cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, to other exchanges. It is important to note that there is a risk that the lent cryptocurrency may not be returned.
When trading Bitcoin on Exness, it is important to understand Bitcoin price movements. Doing so will enable you to develop effective strategies and trade Bitcoin based on your predictions.
Furthermore, unlike other markets, the cryptocurrency market—including Bitcoin—is the only market where trading is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Please familiarize yourself with the overall characteristics of the cryptocurrency market and enjoy trading Bitcoin on Exness while minimizing your risks.
Bitcoin trading on Exness is typically most active during New York trading hours (10:00 PM to 2:00 AM Japan Standard Time). This is because New York trading hours coincide with a period when the number of participants increases not only in the cryptocurrency market but also in various other markets, such as the foreign exchange and stock markets.
However, since Bitcoin can be traded 24 hours a day worldwide, there are times when trading is active outside of New York hours. For example, after the domestic stock market opens at 9:00 a.m. Japan time, Bitcoin trading may occur in response to stock market movements, which can lead to increased trading volume and greater price volatility. While Bitcoin trading tends to be particularly active during New York hours, there are plenty of opportunities during other times as well.
The value of Bitcoin is significantly influenced by its supply. Since Bitcoin operates without a central authority such as a central bank, it is issued by miners and distributed as rewards. If Bitcoin were to continue being issued without limit, the market would become flooded with it, causing its value to decline. To prevent this, Bitcoin has a halving mechanism in place; mining rewards are gradually reduced, thereby limiting the supply.
Bitcoin halving events have occurred approximately every four years since they were first introduced in 2012, with the reward halving each time: 50 BTC → 25 BTC (2012) → 12.5 BTC (2016) → 6.25 BTC (2020) → 3.125 BTC (2024). The most recent halving took place in April 2024.
Bitcoin halving events are designed to stabilize the price of Bitcoin. However, looking at past trends, we see a pattern where the price rises before the halving and then falls after the halving as selling pressure increases. After the price hits bottom, buying activity picks up again, leading to the formation of a long-term upward trend.
Bitcoin trading on Exness is conducted via CFDs, allowing you to profit from short (sell) positions not only during upward price movements but also during downward trends. While the exact date of the next halving has not yet been determined, we invite you to enjoy trading Bitcoin on Exness, taking into account the halving event and the increased trading opportunities that typically arise before and after it.
To understand Bitcoin’s price trends, it is important to keep an eye on Bitcoin-related news. Since Bitcoin’s market capitalization is determined by “Bitcoin’s market price × total supply,” market capitalization generally increases as demand rises. Specifically, it is said that the following events can cause significant fluctuations in Bitcoin’s price:
One event that had a significant impact on the market was the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December 2020 against Ripple Labs and its founder, arguing that the cryptocurrency XRP did not qualify as an “investment contract.” Following the Ripple lawsuit, the SEC agreed to drop its claims against two Ripple executives, causing the price of XRP to surge by approximately 90%—a development that has sent shockwaves through the market.
