There is no guarantee that investments in cryptoassets can be easily sold at any given time. The ability to sell a cryptoasset depends on various factors, including the supply and demand in the market at that time. 

Operational failings such as technology outages, cyber-attacks and comingling of funds could cause unwanted delay and you may be unable to sell your cryptoassets at the time you want.

With IG you can invest in over 150 different cryptocurrencies from £1.

You may need to pay tax on profits from selling or swapping crypto, depending on your individual circumstances. For most investors, profits are subject to Capital Gains Tax. Tax rules can change, so if you're unsure, we recommend seeking independent tax advice.

When you buy crypto, you own the underlying asset and can benefit if its value increases. With crypto CFDs, you speculate on price movements without owning the crypto itself, allowing you to take positions on both rising and falling markets. CFDs are leveraged products, so losses can exceed deposits. Make sure you understand the risks before trading.
