The greatest benefit of trading Ripple CFDs is that you can trade the asset's price movements without needing to own it. When you trade through an exchange, you’ll need someone to be on the opposite side of the transaction – i.e. if you’re selling, you need to find someone to buy, and when you buy, you need someone to sell at the price you want. CFDs can be a quicker and more convenient option for traders looking to enter the markets.

Leverage is also another major benefit of trading Ripple via a CFD; something that is not an option if you hold the actual asset. Leverage, in essence, is short term credit a broker offers its client to be able to open a larger position. Leverage multiplies movements in both directions, which means it can magnify your potential returns – but also your losses. Using risk management tools like stop loss can help mitigate losses when trading. A standard feature on all easyMarkets accounts is free guaranteed stop loss** that allows you to set the maximum risk you are comfortable with when you are using leverage.

Ripple, or XRP, is a cryptocurrency but unlike Ethereum and Bitcoin – it is actually intended as a payment protocol based on blockchain. One reason that Ripple has garnered so much attention is that it has been adopted by over 100 clients, including mainstream financial services companies such as UBS, RBC, Credit Agricole, Santander, American Express and MoneyGram. Ripple was established in 2012 and claims to have the fastest payments settlements, is the most scalable amongst its crypto-counterparts and has negligible energy consumption.

XRP is the symbol for Ripple on easyMarkets trading platform.

This is entirely dependent on your trading goals and tolerance for risk. For instance, cryptocurrencies like Ripple may not be suitable for a trader with a low-risk appetite due to the significant price swings they can experience. However, it may be suitable for a trader who is comfortable with higher risk and volatility. It’s important before you enter any trade that you thoroughly assess your risk appetite, your level of experience and knowledge, and your trading strategy – this can help you make better trading decisions and mitigate potential losses.

You can trade Ripple the same you would any other CFD instrument. Simply place a ‘buy’ order if you anticipate the price will rise and place a ‘sell’ order if you anticipate the price will fall. It’s important to note that you should always carry out prior research and analysis before opening a position. Visit our Learn Centre if you would like to improve your trading knowledge.
