What are cryptocurrencies?
Cryptocurrencies are digital assets that exist only as entries on a blockchain, a shared ledger that thousands of computers keep in step. No bank or government issues them. Instead, the rules of each network decide how new units appear and how transfers are checked.
Their prices come from supply and demand, like any traded asset. When more people want to buy than sell, prices tend to rise, and when the opposite is true, they fall. Because the market is younger and thinner than the market for shares or currencies, prices can move a long way in a very short time. Our crypto basics guide explains the ideas from the beginning.
Why people follow the crypto market
Four reasons that come up most often. None of them promises a profit.
It trades 24 hours a day
Unlike the London Stock Exchange, there is no closing bell and no weekend. Prices move at 3 a.m. on a Sunday as well as at noon on a Tuesday, which suits an automated engine that never sleeps.
Deep trading volume
The biggest assets trade in very large volumes, which usually makes entering and leaving positions easier than in obscure markets, though liquidity can disappear in a crisis.
A way to diversify
Some investors hold a small amount of cryptoassets alongside shares and cash. Diversification can spread risk, but in stressed markets different assets sometimes fall together.
AI as an analysis tool
The volume of data in a 24-hour market is vast. AI can sift it and highlight patterns faster than a person could, and a human still decides whether to use it.
Cryptocurrencies the platform tracks
We list only assets that we have confirmed are available through the exchanges our platform connects to. The list can change, and a listing is not a recommendation to buy.
| Asset | Ticker | Traded against |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | BTC | GBP, USD |
| Ethereum | ETH | GBP, USD |
| Solana | SOL | USD, USDT |
| XRP | XRP | USD, USDT |
| Cardano | ADA | USD, USDT |
How the AI analyses the market
The engine reads four kinds of information at once. Prices tell it where an asset is trading and how it has moved. Volumes show how many people are taking part, which helps to tell a strong move from a thin one. Volatility measures how violent the swings are, and trends and dynamics show whether momentum is building or fading.
From those inputs it estimates the probability of short-term patterns and follows the rules of the strategy you have selected. When conditions become unusually unstable, the system can pause trading. That may limit some exposure, but it does not prevent losses.
Who it suits
Beginners who want an easier way to follow the market, and more experienced people who want to use technology to cover more assets and more hours than they could watch themselves. It suits people who are comfortable with high risk, who invest only money they can afford to lose and who are willing to check their account regularly.
It does not suit people who need their money back at a set date, who are looking for certainty, or who feel uneasy when a balance falls by a fifth in a day. That does happen in this market.

How a 24-hour market behaves
Traditional markets close at night and at weekends, and prices often jump when they reopen. The cryptoasset market has no such pause, so prices are formed continuously and reactions to news are immediate. That can be an advantage, because there is always a chance to respond, and a hazard, because a fall can happen while you sleep. Quiet hours, such as early Sunday morning in the UK, often have thinner trading, and a single large order can move the price further than it would at midday.
This is one of the reasons people use automation. A program can watch every hour without fatigue and can be set to pause during extreme conditions. It is still bound by the rules it has been given and by what the market lets it do.
Risks that are specific to cryptoassets
- Extreme volatility. Falls of 20% or more within a day have happened, and some assets have lost most of their value and never recovered.
- No safety net. The Financial Services Compensation Scheme does not cover cryptoassets, and you are unlikely to be able to take a trading loss to the Financial Ombudsman Service.
- Exchange risk. An exchange can be hacked, freeze withdrawals or fail. Assets held there can be delayed or lost.
- Irreversibility. A transfer sent to the wrong address usually cannot be reversed.
- Scams. The market attracts impersonators and fake investment sites. See our fraud warning.
How alerts and the dashboard help
Each tracked asset has its own view on the dashboard, with recent price movement, current activity and the status of any strategy that is using it. Alerts tell you when a position opens or closes, when a strategy pauses because of volatility and when something needs a decision. Most clients switch on all alerts at the start and then narrow them to those they really use once they know the rhythm of the market.
Keeping your holdings and account safe
Because transfers cannot usually be undone, security matters more with cryptoassets than with most things. Use a unique password and an authenticator app on your exchange account as well as on ours. Create API keys with read and trade rights only, never allow withdrawals, and add an IP allow-list where the exchange offers one. Type website addresses yourself, ignore unsolicited messages offering "opportunities", and never share a code with anyone. Our security page lists every protection available to you.
Getting comfortable before you deposit
There is no rush. Read the risk disclosure, ask your manager to explain anything unclear and start with an amount you would be comfortable losing entirely. If a fall of half would keep you awake at night, the amount is too large. You can add more later if you decide it is right for you, and you can stop at any time.
Where to learn more
If any term on this page was unfamiliar, the crypto basics guide explains them one at a time, and the articles cover common mistakes and the psychology of trading.
Costs and tax
Trading commission is up to 0.58% per transaction, with currency conversion up to 1.50% where relevant, and network fees may apply when moving assets between wallets or exchanges. Gains on cryptoassets may be subject to Capital Gains Tax in the UK. Keep records of every transaction, and ask a qualified adviser if you are unsure of your position. We cannot give tax advice.
Questions about cryptocurrencies
What is a cryptocurrency?
A digital asset recorded on a shared ledger, with no central issuer. Its price comes from what buyers and sellers will pay.
What is blockchain?
A ledger of transactions kept identically by many computers, which makes it very hard to alter after the event.
Which assets can I follow?
The confirmed list above, currently Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP and Cardano. It may change, and we update this page when it does.
Can I buy and sell whenever I like?
The market is open around the clock, so trading is possible at any hour, subject to liquidity, exchange maintenance and your account status.
How do withdrawals work?
Funds are paid in pounds sterling back to your original payment method or UK bank account, once identity checks are complete. See the withdrawal policy.
Who helps if I have a problem?
Your personal manager, or [email protected]. Cryptoassets are not covered by the FSCS, so please also read the risks.
