CFDs are derivatives instruments where traders and brokers exchange the difference in an asset's value at the opening and closing of a contract.
The CD20 CFD will "bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset space by delivering institutional-grade crypto index access within a robust, compliant framework," Eightcap said in the announcement.
Melbourne-based Eightcap holds regulatory licenses in the U.K., European Union (EU) and Bahamas, as well as its native Australia.
Provision for regulated CFDs represents growing maturity in the crypto industry as they provide traders with the type of investment products that they would recognize from the traditional financial (TradFi) world.
