Cryptocurrency Forex Brokers

Cryptocurrencies are trading instruments that share a lot of similarities with the traditional currencies. Many retail foreign exchange brokers offer trading services in cryptocurrency pairs (in form of CFDs) on more favorable conditions compared to exchanges. The list below is similar to that of the Bitcoin FX brokers, except for the latter also includes companies that do not allow trading in BTC but support payments in that cryptocurrency. The brokers listed here usually offer such trading instruments as:

  • BTC/USD — Bitcoin vs. US dollar;
  • ETH/USD — Ethereum (or Ether) vs. US dollar;
  • XRP/USD — Ripple vs. US dollar;
  • LTC/USD — Litecoin vs. US dollar;
  • DASH/USD — Dash vs. US dollar;
  • ETH/BTC — Ethereum vs. Bitcoin;
  • BTC/EUR — Bitcoin vs. euro;
  • and so on.

However, not all of them permit funds deposit or withdrawal in cryptocurrencies. You will find 95 brokers listed in the table below.
