Yes, you can invest in crypto whenever you want with IG’s service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

You pay zero commission when you buy or sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana with IG. There is a 0.07% external exchange fee included in the price. You also don’t pay any commission when you swap between any of these three coins. For all other cryptocurrencies, we charge a flat 1.49% spread when you buy, sell or swap. You can find out more about our costs here.

The performance of most cryptoassets can be highly volatile, with their value dropping as quickly as it can rise. You should be prepared to lose all the money you invest in cryptoassets.
The cryptoasset market is largely unregulated. There is a risk of losing money or any cryptoassets you purchase due to risks such as cyber-attacks, financial crime and firm failure. Take 2 minutes to learn more.

Cryptocurrency investments are not protected under the FSCS. Learn more by using the FSCS protection checker here.

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.
