IC Markets, an Australia-regulated forex and CFD ECN brokerage, announced it is expanding its cryptocurrency portfolio with the addition of CFDs on Ether, Bitcoin Cash, Dash and Litecoin against the USD.

IC Markets launched trading in Bitcoin/USD CFDs in August, joining the global trend among forex brokers.

“As a speculative medium, there are few products in the world that can compare with Cryptos right now. Since our clients are active traders, we give them the products with the best opportunities to trade as well as the best trading conditions to fully exploit those opportunities. These additions highlight our commitment to provide our clients with opportunities relevant to the current financial landscape”, said IC Markets Director Angus Walker.

The minimum trade size is 1 lot and the maximum leverage is 1:20, which is fairly high, compared to that of other forex brokers offering CFDs on cryptocurrencies and to crypto exchanges who offer margin trading on digital currencies, like Bitfinex, bitFlyer, Kraken, Poloniex, Coincheck, etc.

IC Markets is an electronic communication network (ECN) broker of forex and CFDs that serves individual traders, money managers and institutional customers. It is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and is among the leading Australian brokers. IC Markets’ portfolio includes forex pairs and CFDs on indices, futures, bonds, commodities and cryptocurrencies on MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader and copy trading on MyFxBook and ZuluTrade.
