“The advantages of trading cryptocurrency CFDs don’t end there,” Marcos Tigsilema, Commercial Director of ATFX (UK) explained, “it is a cost effective way to trade both rising and falling cryptocurrency markets, funds can be deposited and withdrawn with ease, avoiding the risks of purchasing cryptocurrencies directly through an exchange and not having to worry about your cryptocurrency being lost, stolen or hacked.”
Over the course of the year, ATFX UK will continue to add more financial trading instruments in 2019. However, the broker does not specify whether these will be within the cryptocurrency space or more traditional financial instruments such as foreign exchange (FX) or commodities.
