Until now, IG offered exposure to the prices of the main cryptocurrencies in the form of CFDs, contracts which allow you to speculate on the price without holding the asset.
But the broker recently took a major step forward in its crypto offering: it is now possible to buy and sell real cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP or Cardano, directly from the IG application.
No need to open a new account: IG's crypto account is activated in a few clicks from the application with the same identifiers.
Where IG's offer really stands out against the competition is that the entry ticket is only €1.50 and the price list is very advantageous.
In fact, IG applies a commission of only 0.5% per transaction, one of the lowest on the market. IG does not charge any account, custody, deposit, withdrawal or exchange fees.
Concretely, a purchase of €100 of Bitcoin costs €0.50, and a purchase of €1,000 costs €5. This readability is especially important for those who invest in a programmed manner with the DCA method.
For example, with 2 purchases of €100 of Bitcoin per week and for 2 years, i.e. 208 orders and €20,800 invested in total, the fees amount to €104 without additional costs to add.
The argument of the IG broker is also due to its atypical profile: founded in 1974, member of the FTSE 100 and audited every quarter, the group claims more than 820,000 active clients worldwide.
It is also a complete platform that allows you to invest in more than 17,000 markets including stocks, ETFs and indices, while offering human support in French that can be reached 24 hours a day by chat.
On the crypto accounts side, they are provided by IG Europe GmbH, regulated by MiCA and licensed in several European jurisdictions. Cryptocurrencies are held at a 1:1 ratio, are never used on third-party protocols and are mostly held in cold storage via a MiCA-compliant European sub-custodian.
