Can I invest in crypto 24/7 with IG?

What fees does IG charge for crypto investing?
You pay zero commission when you buy or sell Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana with IG. 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.
What are the risks of trading cryptoassets?
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.
Am I protected if something goes wrong?
Cryptocurrency investments are not protected under the FSCS. Learn more by using the FSCS protection checker here.
Can I sell my investment when I want to?
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.
FAQs
Find out more about our cashback offer.
How do I qualify for the 1% cashback offer?
You need to open an IG Crypto Account using the promo code CRYPTO1000 during June 2026, transfer at least £1,000 worth of crypto into your account by 23:59 on 30 June, and maintain at least one open crypto position until 31 December 2026.
When will I receive my cashback?
Cashback will be credited to your GIA (General Investment Account) by 31 January 2027, after the holding period ends on 31 December 2026.
How is my cashback calculated?
The value is based on the live price from Coinbase Prime at the time your transfer completes, converted to GBP at the spot FX rate. The exact cashback amount depends on the crypto price and exchange rate at the moment of deposit, not when you initiated the transfer.
Any withdrawals between 1 July and 31 December 2026 reduce the amount your cashback is calculated on. For example, if you transferred £6,000 and withdrew £1,000, your cashback would be 1% of £5,000 (£50). If withdrawals bring your net qualifying amount below £1,000, you receive nothing.
Which cryptocurrencies are eligible for transfer?
20 tokens are accepted, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, LINK, AVAX, and others listed in the full terms. You can transfer from any self-hosted wallet (e.g. MetaMask, Ledger, Trezor) or from supported exchanges: Uphold, Kraken, Bitstamp, CoinJar, Bitpanda, and Revolut.
