Can I trade blockchain?

Updated this week

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 distributed ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers in a way that ensures security, transparency, and immutability. It serves as the foundation for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, but has many other applications beyond digital currencies.

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're interested in gaining exposure to blockchain technology through your trading activities, consider researching cryptocurrency CFDs available on the FXTRADING.com platform or exploring companies that are developing or implementing blockchain solutions.
