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

ETH/USD FAQ
Understand the pair before opening a position.
What is ETHUSD (ETH/USD)?
ETHUSD is an XBTFX cryptocurrency CFD quoted in US dollars. It tracks the price of Ethereum against USD and can be traded long or short without taking custody of the underlying token.
Do I own Ethereum when I trade ETHUSD?
No. ETHUSD is a leveraged CFD, not a purchase of the underlying Ethereum. You receive price exposure but no blockchain asset, wallet withdrawal right, governance right or staking entitlement from the CFD position.
What can move the ETHUSD price?
ETHUSD can respond to activity around Ethereum, crypto-market liquidity, regulation, macroeconomic conditions and shifts in demand for Ethereum. Spreads can widen during volatile or thin markets.
How is ETH/USD leverage applied at XBTFX?
ETH/USD uses published exposure-based margin bands. The schedule is tied to total notional exposure in ETHUSD, 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 ETHUSD 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.
