Which company you would deal with: the link opens xs.com, run by XS Ltd under an offshore licence from the Seychelles FSA (SD089) — not the CySEC or ASIC licences listed below. That means no retail leverage cap and no investor compensation scheme. xs.com states that it does not offer its services to residents of the EU, the US, Australia or Japan; EU residents are served by XS Markets Ltd (CySEC 412/22) at xsmarkets.com.

Crypto is volatile and largely unregulated. CFDs are leveraged and most retail accounts lose money. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
