About crypto CFDs
High volatility markets with continuous price discovery
Digital assets are recorded and transferred through distributed networks. Their prices can move rapidly in response to adoption, regulation, technology changes, security incidents, market concentration and shifts in liquidity.
A BARS 8 crypto CFD is a cash settled derivative linked to a reference price. It provides no ownership, voting, staking, custody, fork or airdrop rights. Pricing can differ from the price shown on a digital asset exchange because sources, spreads and liquidity arrangements differ.
Use the shared market table controls. Replace Monday open and Friday close with weekly session open, weekly session close and maintenance break where the product trades across weekends.
