Frequently Asked Questions
What crypto leverage is available to Australian traders?
ASIC restricts crypto CFD leverage to 1:2 maximum for retail clients. Professional traders may access higher leverage but must meet strict eligibility criteria including asset and income thresholds.
Are AUD-quoted crypto pairs better than USD pairs?
AUD pairs eliminate currency conversion risk for Australian traders but typically offer lower liquidity than USD pairs. Consider your base currency and hedging preferences when choosing.
Which crypto trading platform works best in Australia?
Look for ASIC-regulated brokers offering competitive spreads, reliable execution during Sydney market hours, and proper segregation of client funds under Australian investor protection schemes.
How does crypto taxation work for Australian CFD traders?
Crypto CFD profits are typically treated as capital gains, but frequent trading may constitute business income. Consult a qualified tax advisor familiar with Australian crypto regulations and ATO guidance.
