Trade Bitcoin to US Dollar - BTC/USD CFD

Bitcoin/USD

The BTC/USD pair matches the world’s foremost cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, with one of the most influential fiat currencies – the American dollar. The pairing represents how many dollars (the quote currency) are needed to buy one bitcoin (the base currency).

Established in 2009, Bitcoin is known as the most prominent and widely accepted digital coin. Despite the emergence of many rivals, it boasts a crypto market share of about 70 per cent. However, even after a decade in existence, BTC still remains very volatile, offering huge potential for speculation.

On the other end of the pair is the American dollar, the world's primary reserve currency. Usually considered a benchmark, it is readily accepted in transactions across the globe. It is the most traded currency in the international foreign exchange market in terms of turnover, making up almost 90 per cent of global forex trading.

Its unique properties make the BTC/USD pairing one of the most popular crypto-to-fiat currency pairs in the market. Throughout the years, Bitcoin has proven to be a lucrative investment, cementing its position as the world's leading cryptocurrency and the industry’s gold standard.

The ultra-volatile nature of the pair makes it a strong alternative to traditional forex markets. You can stay on top of the pair’s rate with our BTC/USD live chart and trade it with tight spread and high leverage.

The BTC/USD pair is influenced by a number of factors, including news about either of the currencies.

The USD is directly affected by the US financial and political situation, news and events. An unstable political climate could lead to a decline in the value of the dollar. It is crucial to follow the latest updates from the US Federal Reserve (the Fed), especially regarding interest rates and monetary policy.

As the cryptocurrency is not tied to any particular country, the geopolitical and economic factors have little to no bearing on Bitcoin. Instead, you should keep an eye on its adoption rates, demand, regulations and market sentiment.

Meanwhile, outside factors like institutional investors, those who process large volume transactions and an increased interest from Asia are also set to impact Bitcoin’s prices, influencing the pair’s rate.
