Number of Tradable Instruments by Account Type for Exness Cryptocurrency CFDs

The Standard Account is the ideal account type for all traders, from beginners to advanced traders.The Standard Cent account, which allows trading at 1/100th the size of a Standard account, is available exclusively on MT5 and supports only one cryptocurrency pair: “BTCUSDc.” Both the Standard and Standard Cent accounts allow you to start trading cryptocurrencies with as little as 150 USD (or equivalent) (*) in your account balance.On the other hand, the Low Spread, Zero, and Pro accounts—designed for intermediate to advanced traders—require a higher initial deposit of 1,000 USD (or equivalent), but they allow you to trade cryptocurrencies with lower spreads than the Standard account. As shown, each account type has its own unique features, including initial deposit requirements, spreads, the presence or absence of trading commissions, and order execution methods.Please review the specifications for each account type and select the trading account that best suits your cryptocurrency trading needs.

Exness Account Types | Exness

Offers high leverage of up to 400x

With Exness’s cryptocurrency CFDs, you can trade with high leverage of up to 400x.You can trade “Bitcoin (BTC)” and “Ethereum” with up to 400x leverage, and “Litecoin” with up to 200x leverage, across nine currency pairs including USD (U.S. Dollar), JPY (Japanese Yen), XAG (Silver), and XAU (Gold).

In the cryptocurrency market, popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) require an investment of tens of thousands to several million yen. However, with Exness, you can trade cryptocurrencies via CFDs with leverage of 200 to 400 times, allowing you to enjoy dynamic trading while keeping the capital at risk to a minimum.

Maximum Leverage for Exness Cryptocurrency CFDs

Exness’s cryptocurrency CFDs are subject to a “fixed margin requirement,” which sets the margin requirement at a fixed level. For example, even if you set the leverage on your trading account to 2,000x, the leverage for trading BTC/USD (Bitcoin/U.S. Dollar) will be 400x.

Additionally, when calculating the required margin for cryptocurrency CFDs subject to a fixed margin requirement, the margin amount is used rather than leverage. Please note that the method (formula) for calculating the required margin for cryptocurrencies differs from that used for FX currency pairs and other instruments where leverage fluctuates.

Exness Offers Leverage of Up to 2,000x! Regulations and Restrictions | Exness

Exness offers unlimited leverage.Immediately after opening a live account, you can use a maximum leverage of 2,000x, and if certain conditions are met, you can access unlimited leverage (effectively 2.1 billionx). However, please note that leverage restrictions apply depending on your available margin balance and the trading instruments you use. Please review the details carefully before engaging in high-leverage trading.

Adopts a zero-cut system with no margin calls

Exness employs a zero-cut system, allowing you to trade even highly volatile cryptocurrency CFDs safely. The zero-cut system is a mechanism whereby, if losses exceed the margin in your trading account due to sudden market fluctuations or other factors, Exness resets the negative balance to “0.”Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, and while they offer many opportunities to generate significant profits in a short period, there is also the potential for substantial losses if the market moves in an unexpected direction. Since Exness employs a zero-cut system with no margin calls, you can limit losses from cryptocurrency trading to the amount of your margin while pursuing unlimited profits.

Please note that Exness’s stop-out (liquidation) level is uniformly set at 0% for all account types. Margin calls, which alert you to a decline in your maintenance margin ratio, are triggered at 60% for Standard accounts and 30% for Low Spread, Zero, and Pro accounts, depending on the account type.

Offering spreads lower than the industry standard

At Exness, you can trade cryptocurrency CFDs with spreads lower than the industry standard.We offer low spreads across all account types—including the "Standard Account," "Standard Cent Account," "Low Spread Account," "Zero Account," and "Pro Account"—that support cryptocurrency CFD trading, so you can choose the account that best suits your trading style.Please note, however, that the account type offering the lowest spreads varies depending on the cryptocurrency.

The “Low Spread Account” and “Zero Account” are the accounts that allow you to trade Exness cryptocurrency CFDs with the lowest spreads. However, since both account types incur separate trading commissions, when comparing the effective cost—which takes both the spread and the commission into account—the Pro Account may offer the lowest overall cost in some cases.If you want to minimize your cryptocurrency trading costs, we recommend using the “Low Spread,” “Zero,” and “Pro” accounts strategically depending on the specific asset.

Cryptocurrency CFDs are eligible for swap-free trading

At Exness, you can trade cryptocurrency CFDs on a “swap-free” basis, with no swap points incurred.When it comes to long-term cryptocurrency trading, swap points are one of the key factors to keep an eye on.

Important Considerations When Trading Cryptocurrency CFDs on Exness

Exness offers cryptocurrency CFDs for all available instruments; however, please keep the following points in mind when trading cryptocurrencies.

A fixed margin requirement applies to cryptocurrency CFDs.

Exness’s cryptocurrency CFDs are subject to a “fixed margin requirement,” which sets the required margin at a fixed rate regardless of the leverage configured in your trading account.For example, even if the leverage on your trading account is set to 2,000x, when trading BTC/USD (Bitcoin/U.S. Dollar), a leverage of 400x applies, and the margin requirement is 0.25%.

In addition, since a fixed margin requirement applies to cryptocurrency CFDs, the margin rate—rather than leverage—is used to calculate the required margin. To determine the required margin amount for cryptocurrency CFD trading on Exness, you can use the following formula by substituting the margin rate for the specific instrument.

How to Calculate the Required Margin for Exness Cryptocurrency CFDs

For example, here is how to calculate the required margin for trading 1 lot of BTC/USD (Bitcoin/U.S. Dollar) with a contract size of 1 and a margin rate of 0.25%.

To convert the calculated margin requirement of “0.0025 BTC” into your account currency, multiply it by the “BTC/trading account currency” exchange rate.

(*) Bitcoin/U.S. Dollar (BTCUSDc) on Standard Cent accounts is traded with a contract size of 0.01.

There are limits on the position size for hedging trades

For hedging trades (hedge orders) involving "Ethereum (ETH)" and "Litecoin (LTC)" among Exness's cryptocurrency CFDs, there are limits on the position sizes for both the hedge order and the closing position.

When placing a hedging order to hedge against an existing position, or when closing out even a portion of one of the positions in a hedged pair, the position size must be 0.1 lot or more. Please note that if the position size is less than 0.1 lot, hedging orders and closings for cryptocurrency CFDs (ETH, LTC) will not be executed.Please note that among cryptocurrency CFDs, there are no position size restrictions for Bitcoin (BTC)-related instruments.

You cannot trade on MT4 with a Standard Cent account.

Exness cryptocurrency CFDs cannot be traded on the MT4 platform for Standard Cent accounts.To trade cryptocurrency CFDs with Exness, please use the “Standard Account (MT4/MT5),” “Standard Cent Account (MT5),” “Low Spread Account (MT4/MT5),” “Zero Account (MT4/MT5),” or “Pro Account (MT4/MT5).”Please note that with Exness, you can open up to 100 accounts per trading platform (MT4 or MT5) within a single Personal Area, for a total of 200 accounts. You can use different accounts for different trading strategies or for specific cryptocurrency pairs—for example, “BTC/USD on a Low Spread Account” and “ETH/USD on a Pro Account.”You can also diversify your risk by dividing your funds among multiple accounts.

(*) You can open up to 10 Standard Cent accounts on MT4 and 10 on MT5 (for a total of 20 accounts).

You can easily open an additional Exness account by logging into your Personal Area and selecting “+ Open a New Account” under “My Account.”
