How To Leverage Trade On PrimeXBT?

PrimeXBT is one of the most prominent crypto exchanges in the cryptoverse and when it comes to leverage there are not many players who are close to it.

PrimeXBT currently offers up to even 1000x leverage for selected assets. Now just imagine how profitable leverage trading on PrimeXBT can be.

However, for the majority of the assets, there is 100x leverage provided.

PrimeXBT is an advanced, award-winning trading platform that offers a wide variety of Bitcoin-based CFDs with added leverage, and long/short positions on stock indices, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies.

Introduction

PrimeXBT is among the youngest exchanges in the market; that was founded in 2018 but started offering trading services only in early 2019. It is headquartered in Seychelles and provides a wide range of markets, including cryptocurrency, forex, indices and commodities.

Leverage is a vital feature of a PrimeXBT trading platform and can be a powerful tool. You can use this leverage to benefit from comparatively small price movements, ‘gear’ your portfolio for greater position size, and make your investments grow faster.

Leverage trading lets you take much larger positions and lets you multiply your profits with borrowed funds from the exchange.

Leverage works by using a deposit known as margin, which provides you with increased exposure. Here, you’re putting down a fraction of the total value of your trade – and PrimeXBT is providing you with the rest.

PrimeXBT allows you to gain exposure to major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum and others, without tying up lots of capital. You can refer to the following table to get an insight into leverage trading on PrimeXBT.
