Cryptocurrencies
The Cryptocurrency Market and Trading Opportunities
The cryptocurrency market consists of various types of digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. It is characterized by high volatility and global accessibility, making it one of the fastest‑growing and most popular financial markets. With an average daily trading volume exceeding $200 billion, the cryptocurrency market also offers high liquidity.
Cryptocurrency trading involves buying and selling digital coins, each representing a specific asset or token. Unlike traditional financial markets, cryptocurrencies are traded over the counter (OTC), meaning there is no single centralized operator. Each exchange generates its own quotes, while the global market sets the overall price direction.
XETRD is a modern online platform providing traders with access to cryptocurrency trading. We allow you to profit from price fluctuations without the need to physically own or exchange the underlying assets.
How Quotes Are Formed
Cryptocurrency quotes are presented as trading pairs. The first currency is the base (the amount you buy or sell), and the second is the quote currency (used to show the trade value). For example, the BTC/USD pair indicates how many U.S. dollars are needed to purchase one Bitcoin.
BTC/USD = 46,891.20 means that one Bitcoin is worth 46,891.20 USD
Cryptocurrency prices constantly fluctuate under the influence of market conditions, news, and other factors.
Traders open long positions when they expect the base currency to rise against the quote currency, and short positions when they anticipate it will fall. If the market moves in the opposite direction of their forecast, losses occur.
Fractional Units and Calculations
Cryptocurrency trading is often conducted in satoshis (fractions of Bitcoin) or other partial units of digital coins. Each satoshi has a certain value in the quote currency, which is used to calculate profits, losses, and the spread — the difference between buying and selling prices.
At XETRD, we offer fractional pricing, enabling tighter spreads and providing clients with the most accurate quotes possible.
