ETH/USD · Crypto CFDs
ETHUSD tracks the value of Ethereum against the US dollar as an XBTFX CFD. A rising quote means Ethereum is gaining value against USD; a falling quote means it is losing value against USD.
Network use
Ethereum runs the smart contracts behind much of crypto's lending, trading and stablecoin activity, and every transaction pays its fee in ether. Busier use, on Ethereum or its layer-2 networks, means more demand for ETH.
Staking
Since the Merge in 2022, Ethereum has been secured by holders who stake ether for rewards, not by miners. A large share of all ether is staked, and moves into or out of staking are watched closely.
Upgrades
Ethereum evolves through planned upgrades, or hard forks, such as Dencun in 2024, which made layer-2 networks much cheaper to use. Traders follow test and launch dates, and both delays and smooth launches can move the price.
Institutions
Spot ether ETFs have traded in the US since July 2024, and some listed companies hold ether as a treasury asset. Big buying or selling by these investors can move the price, so ETF flows are watched daily.
Ether trades around the clock, and ETH/USD at XBTFX is open every day, weekends included. Volume is usually highest during US hours, when spot ether ETFs trade, and US inflation and jobs data at 8:30 New York time often bring sharp moves. Weekends bring thinner liquidity.

Exposure-based margin
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.
How exposure-based margin works| Additional notional | Leverage | Margin |
|---|---|---|
| $0–$250K | 50:1 | 2.00% |
| $250K–$2M | 25:1 | 4.00% |
| $2M–$5M | 20:1 | 5.00% |
| $5M–$10M | 13:1 | 8.00% |
| $10M–$20M | 6.7:1 | 15.00% |
| $20M–$30M | 4:1 | 25.00% |
| $30M–∞ | 4:1 | 25.00% |
