Leveraged (or margin/ futures) trading cryptocurrency pairs is now becoming more popular with many new platforms available for you to trade on.
In this article we review some of the more popular ones.
I started trading with leverage on BitFinex’s margin trading platform in the bull-run of 2013 and these days, while I still trade on that platform, my main trading account is with Kraken.
With the level of regulation that they’ve volunteered to be subjected to and their practices, I think they’re probably the most honest player in the exchange market and their futures platform is the one I’m most familiar with.
I also have funds on Binance and KuCoin and in the articles below I’ll share my experiences with them all, when I’ve managed to place trades on them.
BitForex is a new platform that I’ve just come across and taking a look into.
Look out for tutorials and videos on it over the beginning of 2021, I think this may turn into a passion pension project. I can’t think of a better way to stack sats.
The best way to get in touch with me about any of the topics I write about here is via Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal at +27825614455, the contact page on the site or the social channels below.
Kraken may not have the volume of the other exchanges and platforms listed below but they are arguably the best platform to trade on.
They’ve taken the time to apply for and comply with various regulators where they operate.
Their main platforms allows you to trade the spot markets or trade with leverage or margin.
In addition they also have a separate futures platform which is regulated by the FCA.
I’ve also chosen them to arbitrage trade bitcoin, buying it from Kraken’s OTC desk and selling the bitcoin on South African exchanges.
Binance is a global cryptocurrency exchange that provides a platform for trading more than 100 cryptocurrencies.
You can trade anywhere on mobile with their mobile app.
If you’re looking to trade crypto to crypto only this is probably the easiest and cheapest way to go.
They’ve recently launched in South Africa and are offering the ability to buy crypto using a debit or credit card.
FTX is a crypto derivatives exchange that offers Futures, Leveraged Tokens and OTC. Developed by Alameda Research (one of the largest crypto market makers and liquidity providers in the space), FTX is an exchange built BY traders, FOR traders.
FTX recently announced their strategic partnership with Binance – their first and only outside investor. FTX has partnered with Binance to provide liquidity across their entire product suite.
Bitfinex once held the title for having the largest volume on any exchange after the collapse of MtGox.
They’ve had their ups and downs in a checkered past, one being a hack which lost the exchange a large amount of bitcoin and their relationship with Tether, coming under scrutiny.
They have recently relaunched their affiliate program paying up to three levels deep, are introducing coin staking for some of the POS coins and are attempting to reclaim some of their past glory.
They’re still a solid platform and the one that I mainly trade on.
PrimeXBT is an interesting combination of a cryptocurrency exchange and a regulated CFD or forex trading broker that allows a trader to trade the financial markets.
They don’t have an orderbook that a crypto exchange does, their liquidity is provided by a liquidity provider as a B-Book forex broker would offer.
They also provide more traditional markets like forex pairs, indices and commoditites.
They also have a “Covesting” module that’s based on an ICO of a few years ago, which allows you as a trader to copy the trades of other (hopefully) successful traders on the platform.
They also have a 4 tier deep affiliate system so you can build a business from creating a community of traders who trade online.
KuCoin claims to be the most advanced and secure cryptocurrency exchange to buy and sell crypto currency. Like some exchanges on here, they’ve been hacked and lost some coins.
They do run promotions regularly and one of the first when I started trading with them was the 2021 New Years promotion where they gave out over $110,000 to new traders.

Bitforex is the newest platform that I’ve come across. I don’t have much information about it yet, except to say that it’s headquartered in Russia but registered in Seychelles.
