The FCA Published a Cryptocurrency CFD risk warning.
Bitcoin CFD
With the boost of cryptocurrencies popularity in the financial sector, a alert has been issued to investors. The FCA advised caution to investors by highlighting the risks of investing in cryptocurrency CFDs. .
Preceding this year, the British watchdog has notified market players relating to the risks associated with ICO. Following this warning, the UK regulator at the present issues a warning related to cryptocurrency contracts for differences (CFDs), advocating investors to take notice as such assets are exceptionally risky.
The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) warned traders stating that CFDs with cryptocurrencies as the underlying investment are risky products.
The warning explains:
?Contracts for differences (CFDs), including financial spread bets, with cryptocurrencies as the underlying investment, are increasingly being marketed to consumers. These products are extremely high-risk, speculative products. This warning is to inform consumers about the risks of buying them.?
The FCA has also warned investors in the past few months regarding cryptocurrency CFDs as a large number of online derivative companies in UK are now offering Bitcoin and Ethereum trading on their platforms.
The FCA regulates The UK's Financial markets, including cryptocurrency CFDs and serves up all levels of safety to the investors. CFDs allow traders to speculate on the changing price of an asset. Traders often enjoy leverage during the investment in the CFDs. Then again, the FCA reestablishes that trading cryptocurrency CFDs are risky and highly high-risk investments because of their unstable dynamics.
In many circumstances, crypto tokens have displayed changes of more than 30 percent and in some cases even 50 percent of their prices. :
?We are concerned about the growth in retail clients trading in CFDs, particularly those offered with a cryptocurrency as the underlying asset… The price volatility of the asset comes with significant risks to retail investors.?
Bitcoin prices have been exceptionally changeable in recent months hitting highs of almost $19,000 before sliding to 7500 in a short time.
