CFDs or Physical Cryptos?
Let us settle the debate for you. CFDs offer advantages to the speculator that are not provided by underlying "physical" crypto market. They are:
No Fussing with Crypto Wallets or Hardware Wallets
If you buy and sell physical cryptocurrencies you need to make a
decision on whether or not you leave your physical cryptocurrencies with your
provider. If you do, you risk they may be hacked. If you do not, you have to
learn how to use hardware wallets where one wrong keystroke could mean all funds
are lost.
Crytpocurrencies are not widely accepted as payment for goods and
services. No need to hold them physically.
Regulation That Protects
CFDs are regulated financial products. Physical crypto is not. To
the trader that means the firm they deal with is subject to oversight by both
regulators, auditors, and best execution committees. With a CFD, you can be sure
you are receiving the best price available as it's a regulatory requirement. You
are not guaranteed that with physical crypto.
Safety of Funds
Top Hedge Finance Ltd is regulated and your funds are held at
leading financial institutions. Your funds are not kept by an unregulated
exchange but instead with a company complying with required hacking prevention
measures. And in the eventTop Hedge Finance Ltd is unable to pay back funds due to
insolvency, customers can rely on FSCS protection up to £85,000 per individual.
Better Platforms
Our platforms are battle-tested and have been in development
throughoutTop Hedge Finance Ltd's 20 year history. They are more feature-rich than
the newly-established trading platforms of physical crypto companies. You may
trade any crypto product you like without regard for what you currently hold in
your account. For example, anTop Hedge Finance Ltd account in GBP can go long
BTC/USD without need to first own USD. That is not the case with major crypto
"exchanges".

CRYPTOCURRENCY BASKET (CRYPTOMAJOR)
The CryptoMajors basket is a unique product that combines Bitcoin (BTC/USD),
Ether (ETH/USD), Ripple (XRP/USD), Litecoin (LTC/USD) and Bitcoin Cash ABC (BCH/USD) into
one instrument and is a benchmark designed to reflect the change in value of some of the
world's top digital currencies.
Bitcoin (BTC/USD)
Bitcoin is a global form of digital currency. Unlike traditional currencies,
which were frequently backed by gold and silver, bitcoin is based on distributed computing.
While traditional currencies are printed by central banks, bitcoins are created or "mined"
by distributed computer networks.

Ethereum (ETH/USD)
Ether is the digital currency used by Ethereum. Ether is the fuel or "gas"
used to pay for transactions made on the Ethereum platform. Ether gives participants a
reason to contribute resources used by the platform, thereby ensuring a robust network.
Further, it provides developers with incentive to write efficient code, as inefficient
software programs are more expensive.

Litecoin (LTC/USD)
Litecoin is an open-source, decentralized digital currency that was created
in 2011 using code from a Bitcoin client. Because of the close relationship between the two,
many have described Litecoin as being the Silver to Bitcoin's gold.

major difference is that the blocks in bitcoin cash's blockchain allow far more space and
therefore have the capacity to hold significantly more transactions.

platform that facilitates exchange between participants via the online space. However,
unlike Bitcoin and Litecoin instead of the primary objective being the creation of a
decentralized and anonymous peer-to-peer mode of transfer, the target audiences for XRP are
traditional banking institutions and is used to settle cross-border and cross-bank
transactions transparently.
