Expanding the crypto trading experience: exploring CFDs with Octa broker
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 June 2025 - Crypto has been booming for quite a while now. But for those who missed the hype train or find the highly volatile crypto market unsuitable, contracts for difference (CFD) present a viable—and arguably more secure—asset type. The experts at Octa, a global broker since 2011, explain why CFDs are worth exploring to expand experience with the financial markets. New trends, old problems The crypto market experienced turmoil throughout 2024. Bitcoin reached multiple all-time highs in a span of one year, and altcoins tried to follow suit. In early 2025, the appearance of the TRUMP coin reinforces the global trend for crypto's increasing media presence and violent fluctuations of the crypto market. However, even with the current uptrend, the downsides of the crypto market persist. Excessive volatility and the speculative nature of most crypto assets make it a bumpy ride for anyone who aims for consistent outcomes. Among the most popular assets that can be traded instead of crypto, one stands apart for flexibility and accessibility: contracts for difference, or CFDs. These financial instruments allow traders to speculate on the price movements of an asset without owning it. Instead of buying or selling the actual asset, traders enter into an agreement with a broker to exchange the difference in the asset's price from when the contract is opened to when it is closed. This asset price difference constitutes CFD traders' profits or losses. Below are some of the main advantages of CFD trading over investing in traditional crypto assets. Ride with the wave One of the worst situations crypto investors can face in their journey is sudden and prolonged downtrends that appear out of nowhere. Profit potential disappears when the entire market suddenly begins to fall. In cases like these, even portfolio diversification won't help. In contrast, the contract nature of CFDs allows for more flexibility, enabling traders to act on both upward and downward trends. CFD trading enables positions to be opened in anticipation of both rising and falling prices. In other words, CFDs as an asset hold twice as much potential for gains—any swing in asset price can turn into a profit opportunity. Better conditions, lower costs Top CFD brokers can often offer superior trading services, and here's why. Crypto traders regularly face slow order execution, high slippage, and unexpected fees imposed by crypto exchanges. On the other hand, CFD brokers often offer lower spreads and more efficient order execution, which can affect profits significantly if the markets show high volatility. For example, Octa, a CFD broker boasting extensive market experience, offers some of the best trading conditions on the market. The broker's portfolio contains a wide variety of CFD assets, including CFDs on crypto, gold, and indices. Octa's clients have the option to replenish their accounts using cryptocurrency and withdraw funds directly to their cryptocurrency wallets. It is important to note that while Octa facilitates these transactions, the broker does not directly engage in providing services related to cryptocurrency. Instead, it operates through reputable partners who possess the necessary licenses to conduct cryptocurrency-related activities. No wallet, no worries Stories about astronomical amounts of cryptocurrency gathering digital dust on an unrepairable hard drive or unused e-wallet inaccessible because of a lost password have been filling the web for ages. But the risks of losing digital capital due to some transactional or e-wallet issues are more than real. CFD traders don't own cryptocurrencies—or any other underlying asset, for that matter. Instead, they are speculating on the price movement of the underlying asset and can, therefore, tap into the asset's profit potential while avoiding the risks of owning it. CFD traders don't have to manage e-wallets, and that frees them from significant cognitive load—not to mention obvious risks. What's more, the risk of a crypto exchange being hacked and all their digital capital stolen doesn't concern them either. With their flexibility, security, and accessibility, CFDs allow traders to step up their game and avoid many of the drawbacks cryptocurrencies are so famous for as a tradable asset. On top of that, with CFDs, traders can diversify their portfolios since these instruments encompass the whole gamut of various underlying asset types, including precious metals, stocks, and indices. ___ Disclaimer: This press release does not contain or constitute investment advice or recommendations and does not consider your investment objectives, financial situation, or needs.

Silver Price Outlook
Silver price (XAGUSD) reached a 13-year-high of $37.30 per ounce (oz) on 18 June. Although the price has pulled back slightly since then, it has remained well-supported above the critical 35.00 mark amid recent market volatility driven by geopolitical escalation in the Middle East. Kar Yong Ang, Octa's financial market analyst, shares his expert outlook on the recent silver rally, its reasons, and potential scenarios for traders to mind. On 2 June, XAGUSD recorded its best daily performance in more than six months, rallying by more than 5% in a single day as a weakening dollar and a combination of geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty fuelled investor demand for safe-haven assets. The rally did not stop there and silver prices continued to increase, hitting a 13-year high in two weeks as the tensions between Israel and Iran escalated further. Previously, this year, the market anticipated that the $40 per oz milestone is a real possibility, and the recent growth makes it even more real. Silver can be considered one of the best-performing commodities recently, outpacing many base and ferrous metals. The YoY (year-over-year) price increase is more than 20%. One of the key reasons for the 2025 rally is the so-called 'safe-haven rush', as investors, spooked by the escalating geopolitical instability across various regions, flock to traditionally secure assets. While gold has historically been the primary destination for investors looking to protect their capital, silver is increasingly gaining traction as well because gold has become a bit too expensive. Indeed, the gold/silver ratio, which shows how many ounces of silver are needed to buy one ounce of gold, has consistently stayed above 90 for most of 2025. When compared to the long-term historical average of 50-60 ounces, the current high ratio suggests that silver is significantly undervalued relative to gold, making it an attractive alternative for investors. Another contributing factor to silver's recent appeal is the weakening U.S. dollar. Its depreciation is largely attributed to uncertainty surrounding U.S. trade policy, particularly the impact of new 'Trump tariffs', and the anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (Fed). In fact, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) has been trending down for most of 2025, pushing other currencies higher and thus marking dollar-priced silver more affordable for holders of other currencies. Besides investors' demand, silver price growth is fueled by its wide industrial application. The metal is actively applied in solar energy, electronics, and auto manufacturing. For example, recent technological advancements in higher-efficiency N-type solar cells that have seen mass production require more silver loadings[1]. The automotive sector increases the use of electronic components and invests in battery charging infrastructure. Consumer electronics feature AI applications, which also rely on silver[2]. These and other factors drive increasing industrial silver demand, which has steadily grown since 2020, according to WisdomTree data[3]. The industrial demand is expected to be a key force of the silver supply/demand deficit, which takes place for a fifth consecutive year[4]. Overall, the market sentiment on future silver growth in 2025 remains positive. In the short term, assuming macroeconomic conditions do not deteriorate sharply and industrial demand remains strong, silver will likely remain in an uptrend, potentially breaking above the $37.40 level and heading towards a long-anticipated target of $40 per oz. The rally can extend into the long term, particularly if the current five-year supply/demand deficit persists. Robust industrial applications of silver—especially in solar and electronics—coupled with investors' safe-haven demand, are outpacing silver mine supply, which should provide a strong fundamental underpinning for higher prices. Despite the positive silver price outlook, traders and investors should remain cautious. Silver is mostly an industrial commodity and not a monetary asset like gold, which is highly demanded by central banks around the world. An industrial demand shock, especially across China or the Eurozone, can offset safe haven buying and pressure prices. At the same time, the strengthening dollar, rising real yields, or suddenly normalised geopolitical situations like the unexpected Trump statement on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran can provoke the correction and delay further price growth. ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ This article was originally posted on FX Empire Silver Price Outlook Visa Shares Up 2,655% Since Big Money Bought In Big Money Inflows Electrify Talen Energy Core & Main Flashes Bullish Outlier Signals Ulta Beauty Sales Growth Attracts Inflows Earnings and Inflows Push Heico Shares Up 34%
