About BTC/USD
Bitcoin trades continuously, including weekends, which means a position left open on Friday is exposed to two days of price action that most brokers' other instruments simply do not have.
Spot exchange-traded fund flows and broad liquidity conditions now drive most of the move, and correlation with technology equities has been persistently positive. Financing is charged on both sides of the book.
BTC/USD sits in the crypto group on our board. A standard contract is 1 coins, which puts the value of a single point at $1.00. A full-lot position moves through a meaningful amount of account equity in an ordinary session, so size the trade against the instrument’s daily range rather than against the margin requirement.

BTC/USD FAQ
Where does the BTC/USD price on this page come from?
The BTC/USD figure is the last trade on a named cryptocurrency exchange when we read it, shown with the exchange's name and the time of the read. A reading more than an hour old is withheld rather than shown as current. It is for information only — use your broker's own prices before placing any trade.
What is a typical BTC/USD spread?
Spreads are set by each broker and vary by account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close. Compare the live spread on each broker's own platform before you trade.
How much is one point worth on BTC/USD?
On a standard contract of 1 coins, one point is worth $1.00, because BTC/USD is quoted in US dollars. Scale that down proportionally for mini and micro lots — a 0.01 lot position moves at one hundredth of that figure.
When can I trade BTC/USD?
24/7, including weekends. Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.
What does the overnight swap cost on BTC/USD?
Swap rates are set by each broker and change with policy rates, so we do not publish a figure. Most brokers apply a triple charge on Wednesdays to cover the weekend; positive rates are credited and negative rates are debited. Check the contract specification on your broker's platform.
