Financing details

Saxo offers access to crypto through exchange traded products (ETPs) and a variety of Crypto FX pairs e.g. BTCUSD, LTCEUR and ETHJPY.

A crypto wallet is not required because you do not own the underlying coins when trading ETPs or Crypto FX pairs. This also means that there is no need for cold storage solutions or recovery seeds.

Saxo does not allow funding or withdrawal in cryptocurrencies.

Crypto FX pairs are available on the SaxoTraderGO and SaxoTraderPRO platforms.
Crypto FX pairs support fractional trading which allows you to trade in fractions of a crypto.

This provides the possibility to scale your position with greater precision and does not limit you to trading crypto in full integer amounts.
