Multi-asset brokerage Hantec Markets has launched 24/7 cryptocurrency CFD trading, providing continuous access to major digital assets for its global client base.
The service went live over the weekend of 3 May and has already generated a significant increase in trading volumes, indicating strong demand for round-the-clock market exposure to digital assets.
The launch responds to growing trader expectations for continuous access to high-volatility instruments, particularly as cryptocurrency markets demonstrate increasing dynamism. Recent weeks have highlighted this volatility through rapid price movements driven by macroeconomic data, regulatory developments and institutional activity.
Following a challenging April for digital assets, early May has seen a rebound with Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 level, rekindling both speculative and strategic trading interest.
"With the maturing of crypto as a tradable asset class, clients increasingly expect institutional-grade access to these markets on a continuous basis," said Norayr Djerrahian, Chief Strategy Officer at Hantec Markets. "The uptake we've seen since launching 24/7 crypto trading confirms that demand. This is a strategic step forward in our mission to deliver flexible, global trading infrastructure."
The 24/7 trading feature allows Hantec clients to trade popular cryptocurrency CFDs with immediate response capability to price movements, particularly during traditional off-market hours when digital assets often experience significant volatility.
The cryptocurrency CFD offering adds to Hantec's broader multi-asset suite, which includes regulated access to foreign exchange, commodities, indices and metals. The CFD structure provides traders with leveraged exposure to cryptocurrency price movements whilst avoiding the operational complexities associated with direct custody of digital assets.
Hantec's continuous trading availability enables traders to maintain agility in what it describes as one of the most reactive and news-sensitive asset classes in the financial markets.
