4 min readWe’ve got big news for all of our clients: Starting 3 September 2025, all Crypto CFDs on PXTrader and MT5 have moved to a spread-only model – no commissions, just clearer pricing. This means commission charges have been completely removed, and costs are now fully reflected in the spread – just like with all other non-crypto CFD instruments.
This update streamlines cost structures for clients while also delivering significantly more competitive spreads on major cryptocurrency pairs, such as BTCUSD and ETHUSD.
What does this mean for you?
- No more commissions: All crypto CFDs on PXTrader and MT5 now use a spread-only model.
- BTCUSD & ETHUSD spreads cut by up to 50%: Spreads on BTCUSD dropped by more than half on MT5 standard accounts, while ETHUSD spreads tightened by 35%.
- Improved transparency: No separate charges, no hidden fees – all costs are included in the spread. Aligned with CFD market standards: Crypto CFDs now follow the same model as non-crypto CFDs, making pricing clearer and easier to understand.
