RIPPLE TRADING
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRADING RIPPLE CFDs THE easyMarkets WAY
What is Ripple (XRP)?
In today’s modern world, billions of people are connected online, cars are learning to drive automatically without a driver, airplanes can land without pilot intervention, household appliances can communicate to automate household functions, yet global financial transactions seem to be stuck in the 70’s.
The main reason for this is because banking systems were invented before the Internet and the processes are so entrenched in banking systems, that change has been slow.
Ripple was created to specifically address this problem. Ripple connects banks, payment providers, digital assets exchanges and businesses via RippleNet to provide a frictionless process that can transfer money globally.
What is the difference between trading Ripple CFDs and buying Ripple?
There are two main ways to buy and trade Ripple:
- Using traditional exchanges, you can buy Ripple in the hope of selling it at a profit. Depositing into exchanges is notoriously difficult with deposit methods being difficult and cumbersome. The buying process is also complex, and requires you to buy Ripple tokens at market value, and you only make a profit when you sell and someone else buys your coin from you. In a falling market, this strategy may fail if you can't sell your tokens.
- Trading with easyMarkets CFDs allows you to purchase a Ripple position at market value, without actually owning the token. Instead of having to sell your token to make a profit, you can simply close your position effective immediately. A buyer of your token is not required, and you can walk away with your profits in seconds, rather than waiting for a buyer to purchase.
How leveraged Ripple trading works
Ripple contracts for difference (CFDs) give you access to the Ripple market price without you having to purchase any Ripple. This trading method provides an alternative way of trading because you don’t hold any actual Ripple and also means you don’t need to use a wallet to store them.
Ripple is mostly quoted against the USD, so when you buy Ripple on an exchange, you are selling USD and buying Ripple . If the Ripple price rises, you could sell it for a profit, however if Ripple price falls, then you end up making a loss on the trade if you close your position.
When you trade Ripple with easyMarkets CFD's, instead of taking ownership of Ripple, you’re opening a position that can increase in value as Ripple 's price increases against the USD.
You can use CFD's to open short and long positions, to take advantage of rising or falling markets. Ripple can be traded on our easyMarkets trading platforms, as well as on Metatrader 4 (MT4).
Cryptocurrency Trading Plaform
What's the difference between Bitcoin and Ripple?
There are a number of key differences between Bitcoin and Ripple. Ripple has recently seen a large interest from global businesses including major credit card companies.
Bitcoin and Ripple have very different ownership structures and methods of governance. Bitcoin is highly decentralised and open source, primarily owned by the public that must agree on any changes before they can be implemented.
Ripple is owned by a private company and it's transactional ledger is not publicly available. This actually allows for faster implementation of improvements with fewer progressive hold-ups.
Due to it's popularity, Bitcoin has attracted higher transaction fees and slower transaction times. This makes Bitcoin less likely to be used for smaller transactions. Ripple on the other hand offers almost instant transactional speed with the lowest fees available, in many cases fees are less than a cent for a given transfer. When compared to bank transfer fees, this is significantly small.
Ripple was build for speed and performance with a high level of liquidity due to the number of tokens created. Unlike Bitcoin, Ripple cannot be mined to create new tokens, the blockchain contains all the tokens to be ever required at this stage.
When you trade Ripple with easyMarkets CFD's, instead of taking ownership of Ripple, you’re opening a position that can increase in value as Ripple 's price increases against the USD.
You can use CFD's to open short and long positions, to take advantage of rising or falling markets. Ripple can be traded on our easyMarkets trading platforms, as well as on Metatrader 4 (MT4).
