Why trading Ethereum Makes Sense?

Ethereum is a cryptocurrency and is extremely volatile due to the speculative nature of the asset. This caused the price of the asset to swing to extreme highs, then fall back to deep lows. This creates opportunities for traders to profit, but only if they have the right tools. PrimeXBT offers ultra-fast order execution and tight spreads on all assets.

Ethereum is a smart-contract focused crypto-asset, a currency, and a supercomputer all in one. Ethereum was co-founded by Vitalik Buterin following his interest in Bitcoin. After realizing that Bitcoin had many inefficiencies, Buterin set out to create a new cryptocurrency to address many of the features Bitcoin lacks. Like Bitcoin, Ethereum is built on blockchain technology, among the most exciting new financial technologies in the history of the world. Ethereum is the name of the blockchain protocol itself, while Ether, or ETH, is the native coin that powers the blockchain. Ethereum was also the main platform for launching initial coin offerings through ERC-20 tokens, an Ethereum-based standard for issuing new crypto tokens. Because of this, Ethereum is among one of the most used crypto-assets and is often ranked the number two crypto-asset by market cap.

Can I trade Ethereum?

Yes. Trading Ethereum can often be more profitable than investing alone. However, trading comes with additional risks that must be considered when opening a position. Be sure to rely on a proper trading strategy and careful risk management when building an Ethereum position.

Why CFDs make sense for trading Ethereum?

CFDs on Ethereum let traders long and short the cryptocurrency, rather than just owning the asset. As crypto assets have proven, they can be worth thousands and then be worth nearly zero, all within a year or two from one another. Ethereum's all-time high of $1,400 was reached in 2017 and hasn't been a positive investment since. However, shorting Ethereum down to just double-digits would have been profitable with CFDs.

How does Ethereum margin trading work?

Margin trading means that a trader has decided that they want to make a trade that is bigger than the capital they have, and look to the platform to borrow these funds in order to open a bigger Ethereum position. This leveraged margin trade then allows you to receive higher profits if the position goes the right way. However, the risk is that if the trade is unsuccessful the losses can be magnified too.

The benefits of Ethereum trading with leverage

Magnified profitsMargin trading is known for its ability to make larger trades compared to deposited amounts. Margin trading is one of the most effective ways to increase potential returns
DiversificationMargin trading means there is more available traders' capital left on the account which can be used to open new positions. Diversification allows to reduce market risk.
Gaining from the market fall.Margin trading also allows traders to open long and short positions in order to profit from both growing and falling market.

Ethereum Leverage Trading Example

For example, If a trader takes a short position of 100 ETH on 10x leverage, and the price of Ethereum falls 3% the trader will earn a profit of 30 ETH. A similar spot trade without leverage would result in only 3 ETH earned.

Disclaimer: Margin trading also comes with inherent risks if the position moves against the trade. You should never utilize 100% leverage and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
