Understanding the Totality crypto FX CFD product
The Australian entity formerly known as Saxo Capital Markets now trades as Totality Wealth Limited, and its crypto FX product page confirms it offers Bitcoin and Ethereum crypto FX CFDs against USD, EUR and JPY. The sourced Australian page covers those two coins, and wider altcoin access is not established here, which may be fine if your interest is major-coin exposure within a broader FX and multi-asset account. The page confirms there is no ownership of the underlying cryptocurrency, that profit and loss settles in the pair's fiat currency, and that the provider does not accept crypto deposits or withdrawals. Market access is advertised as 24/5 rather than continuous. Retail and wholesale margin requirements are listed separately, and this record uses the retail figures only, which are recorded as confirmed facts on this page.
