CMC Markets Australia has taken a bold step toward reshaping crypto trading accessibility by launching 24/7 crypto CFD trading. Announced on March 29, the offering allows clients to buy and sell contracts for difference (CFDs) on popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Cardano—without any weekend or after-hours restrictions.

“Starting from March 29, you can trade all your favorite crypto CFDs such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, and more anytime, anywhere. Unlock ultra-tight spreads from $35 USD on Bitcoin and get access to 35+ cryptocurrencies,” the company mentioned on LinkedIn.

According to the company, users now have access to over 35 cryptocurrencies with ultra-tight spreads starting from $35 USD on Bitcoin. The initiative reflects a broader industry trend to meet the demands of modern traders who require continuous market access.

What It Means for Prop Traders

For prop firms and their traders, this is a major enhancement. The ability to trade crypto CFDs outside traditional weekday hours means:

• Better alignment with global crypto market news cycles
  
  
• The ability to capture weekend volatility
  
  
• More opportunities for arbitrage and strategy diversification
  
  

As proprietary trading firms increasingly incorporate crypto as a core asset class, 24/7 access becomes less of a luxury and more of a standard. CMC Markets' move could set a precedent other brokers will follow.

Final Thoughts

This development reinforces the shift toward non-stop market accessibility. For prop firms looking to support crypto traders or build crypto-specific programs, CMC’s 24/7 model may offer a strong competitive edge.
