From regulated Financial brokers Forex, Stocks, Commodities CFDs etc. you might be used to leverage of up to 1:500 or even 1:1000. With cryptocurrency brokers this is a bit different as for those most volatile markets maximum leverage is less than for the traditional markets. How to buy Crypto? Leverage crypto trading in is a way of using borrowed funds to trade cryptocurrencies with more capital than initially invested in the trading account. The initial margin represents the amount of funds, which you need to ensure in order to make a trade, and depends on the leverage ratio. After successfully placing a margin trade, the borrowed amount will be reflected as balance* in your Wallet > Loans tab under the associated virtual asset. To ‘repay’ the borrowed virtual asset, simply click “Deposit” or “Transfer” to move virtual assets from an external wallet or another Crypto.com Exchange account.
