Exposure-based margin
How BTCUSD leverage and margin bands work.
BTC/USD margin is applied incrementally by the total notional exposure in BTCUSD. Crossing a threshold does not reprice the margin already assigned to lower bands; only the additional exposure uses the next rate.

BTC/USD FAQ
Understand the pair before opening a position.
What is BTCUSD (BTC/USD)?
BTCUSD is an XBTFX cryptocurrency CFD quoted in US dollars. It tracks the price of Bitcoin against USD and can be traded long or short without taking custody of the underlying token.
Do I own Bitcoin when I trade BTCUSD?
No. BTCUSD is a leveraged CFD, not a purchase of the underlying Bitcoin. You receive price exposure but no blockchain asset, wallet withdrawal right, governance right or staking entitlement from the CFD position.
What can move the BTCUSD price?
BTCUSD can respond to activity around Bitcoin, crypto-market liquidity, regulation, macroeconomic conditions and shifts in demand for Bitcoin. Spreads can widen during volatile or thin markets.
How is BTC/USD leverage applied at XBTFX?
BTC/USD uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to total notional exposure in BTCUSD, not the account balance. When exposure crosses a threshold, only the additional portion uses the next margin rate; lower-band exposure keeps its original rate.
Can I trade BTCUSD with Pro or Standard pricing?
Yes, subject to account and platform availability. Pro uses a variable raw spread plus a 0.05% commission per side for crypto CFDs. Standard has no separate commission line and uses a wider all-in spread.
