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.

Source: Google search volume, Australia, August 2026. How we measure it

A practical navigation note: the Australian Saxo crypto link redirects to a Totality page about crypto ETFs, but that landing alone does not establish that CFDs are absent, because the separate Totality crypto FX URL confirms they are offered. Keep the products distinct: listed crypto ETFs and ETNs are different instruments from CFDs, with different structures and risks. Leverage and individual eligibility were not established by this selected check and should be confirmed in current account documents. ASIC's financial services licensee register extract dated 8 October 2026 lists AFS licence 280372 for Totality Wealth Limited. Australian terms cannot stand in for the Saxo group's global services, and the global Saxo brand and Totality should not be treated as the same legal entity or product. This is not a full review of either brand. Our methodology explains how selected fields are checked and dated.

Comparing this provider next

If major-coin fiat-settled CFD exposure suits you, confirm current margin and eligibility terms directly with the provider, then use the crypto CFD comparison to see how this provider's sourced fields compare with others. Our crypto CFD comparison hub covers the difference between CFD exposure and coin ownership, which is central to this product.
