Different Crypto Products
XTB offers different vehicles to trade crypto:
Make Full Width| Product | What it is | Who can get it |
|---|---|---|
| Crypto CFDs | A bet on price. You don’t own any coins. | 50+ crypto CFDs in most regions. No crypto CFDs for UK clients due to FCA rules. |
| Spot crypto | You buy and hold the real asset. | New for 2026. Started with the Cyprus branch. Rolling out to Latin America and more of the EU as approvals come. Poland is blocked pending MiCA rules. |
| Crypto ETNs & Stocks | Traditional exchange-traded securities that are linked to crypto prices or companies. | Available in many regions. More indirect exposure to cryptos – you don’t own coins. |
Crypto CFDs available in some XTB regions
What To Consider
- A CFD does not give you ownership of the underlying coin. You cannot move the asset to a wallet. If self-custody is important to you, this is not the right option.
- Crypto is already highly volatile, and adding leverage increases the risk. We know we’ve traded crypto CFDs. Position sizing is especially important when trading crypto on XTB.
Crypto CFD Detail
- 50+ coins, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, Cardano, and Polkadot.
- Quoted against USD, BTC, and ETH, so you get crypto-to-crypto pairs too.
- Crypto CFDs are available 24/7 in many regions, a significant advantage over share CFDs, which follow exchange hours.
- You can go long or short. And you don’t need a wallet or an exchange account.
What We Saw On Costs
We checked spreads on a weekday around 14:30 GMT. Crypto CFD spreads started at about 0.22% of the market price. For Bitcoin, this is a higher cost than major forex pairs, so it is not ideal for frequent trading. Since crypto trades 24/7, spreads can change at any time, including weekends.
Does XTB Offer Crypto In The UK?
UK retail clients are mostly shut out from dealing crypto derivatives – no crypto CFDs at all. That said, XTB does offer some crypto-related instruments. For example, if you search for ‘Bitcoin’ in xStation, as you can see below, there are adjacent assets that provide indirect exposure.
Some crypto-linked instruments may not be available to trade as a retail investor in the UK despite showing in the app
Here’s a breakdown of what these assets are:
- Bitcoin Group SE (Stock): Shares in a German company that operates crypto businesses and investments. You’re buying the company, not Bitcoin.
- CoinShares Bitcoin (ETN): An Exchange Traded Note that tracks the price of Bitcoin.
- iShares Bitcoin (ETN): An exchange-traded product from BlackRock designed to track Bitcoin.
- VanEck Bitcoin ETN: Similar to the above, it tracks Bitcoin’s price.
- Bitwise Bitcoin ETN (BTCE): One of Europe’s most popular physically backed Bitcoin ETPs.
- iShares Bitcoin Trust (CFD): A CFD on the US-listed BlackRock Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). You’re trading price movements only, often with leverage.
- Core Bitcoin (ETN): Another exchange-traded product tracking Bitcoin.
While the UK FCA lifted their ban on crypto ETNs, tickers must be listed on a UK Recognised Investment Exchange (RIE), such as the London Stock Exchange or Cboe UK. Some of XTB’s Bitcoin-related tickers are based on German exchanges, so may not be available to Brits.
