Crypto exchange CEX.IO today announced ETH/USD margin trading has been introduced following numerous requests from users. This is the fourth pair for trading with 1:2 and 1:3 leverage on the exchange, after BTC/USD, BTC/EUR and ETH/BTC.

Margin trading allows users to trade more than they would be able to trade using deposit funds only, and that can result in a higher profit.
