Can I trade blockchain?

Understand why blockchain itself is not directly tradable through FXTRADING.com and explore cryptocurrency CFDs or other assets that provide blockchain-related exposure.

No, you cannot trade blockchain directly through FXTRADING.com. It's important to understand that blockchain is the underlying technology that powers cryptocurrencies and other applications, not a tradable asset itself.


What is blockchain?

Blockchain is a type of distributed ledger in which records are shared and updated according to a network’s design and consensus rules. Security, transparency, and resistance to change depend on the protocol, implementation, participants, keys, applications, and governance; blockchain use does not make every asset, transaction, platform, or record safe, public, accurate, or impossible to change.

What you can trade instead:

  • Cryptocurrencies: FXTRADING.com offers trading on major cryptocurrencies through CFDs (Contracts for Difference)

  • Crypto-related stocks: Companies involved in blockchain technology or cryptocurrency mining

  • ETFs: Some exchange-traded funds focus on blockchain technology companies

Key differences to understand:

  • Blockchain is the technology infrastructure

  • Cryptocurrencies are digital assets built on blockchain technology

  • Trading cryptocurrencies gives you exposure to assets that utilize blockchain, not the technology itself

If you are considering crypto CFDs or other blockchain-related exposure, check the products currently available to your account and review specifications, costs, leverage, and risk disclosures. A blockchain link does not establish value, suitability, or expected performance.
