About Bitcoin

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is the largest and most traded cryptocurrency, and it trades around the clock, every day of the year. Its high volatility makes it a favourite of active traders looking for movement.

With Otto you trade Bitcoin as a CFD (BTC/USD), so you can go long or short with leverage — and skip the exchanges, wallets and private keys entirely. Because crypto is volatile, leverage is set conservatively.

FAQ

Bitcoin — common questions

Do I need a crypto wallet to trade Bitcoin?

No. You trade a Bitcoin CFD that tracks the price, so there is no wallet, exchange account or private key to manage.

Is Bitcoin tradable on weekends?

Yes. Crypto is one of the few markets open 24/7, including Saturdays and Sundays.

Why is leverage on Bitcoin lower?

Bitcoin is highly volatile, so the maximum leverage (around 1:5) is set conservatively to help manage risk.
