Trading on Margin With Cryptocurrencies

Most traditional brokerages do not list cryptocurrency trading, much less margin trading, among their service offerings. The volatility associated with cryptocurrencies has mostly dissuaded individual traders from placing large bets using margin trading capital. According to reports, 70% of all current cryptocurrency trades are conducted through API calls by institutional investors. In lieu of brokerages, cryptocurrency exchanges have emerged as popular venues for trading on margin, but not all exchanges offer the service.
