Brokers from around the retail industry have been increasingly warming to cryptocurrency CFDs in recent months, with Bitcoin and Ethereum each recently trading near record highs. Other industry players such as Admiral Markets and ADS Securities, among others, have each made similar inroads into this area, following demand from their respective client bases.

Nauman Anees, CEO and co-founder of ThinkMarkets, commented on the launch: “Bitcoin CFDs are a natural extension of our vast portfolio of financial instruments that include; major currencies, stock indices, precious metals and commodities. The recent surge in volatility has triggered investor interest in the alternative digital asset class and we are well positioned to service virtual currency traders with unmatched trading conditions.”

The massive range of volatility exhibited in these instruments creates an ideal environment for investors in CFDs, many of whom are looking for ways to not only buy into cryptos but also bet against their rapid ascension.

ThinkMarkets’ offering will feature 24/7 leveraged trading across all four of the aforementioned CFDs. “The surge in Bitcoin, driven by market volatility, gives traders the opportunity to take advantage of daily price spikes. That’s why Bitcoin and digital currencies are set to become a key market for day traders,” explained Faizan Anees, Managing Director and co-founder.
