Hantec Markets Launches 24/7 Cryptocurrency CFD Trading as Bitcoin Tops $100K

Hantec Markets has introduced around-the-clock trading for crypto contracts for difference (CFDs), allowing clients to access digital asset markets 24/7, the multi-asset brokerage announced today (Tuesday)

Hantec Markets Rolls Out 24/7 Crypto CFD Trading

The service, which became operational earlier this month, has already generated increased trading activity, indicating strong client interest in continuous market access, according to the company.

The launch comes as cryptocurrency markets experience heightened volatility, with Bitcoin recently surpassing $100,000 following a difficult April trading period. Market movements have been influenced by macroeconomic data releases, including the current trade war and the U.S. tariffs.

"With the maturing of crypto as a tradable asset class, clients increasingly expect institutional-grade access to these markets on a continuous basis," said Norayr Djerrahian, Chief Strategy Officer at Hantec Markets. "The uptake we've seen since launching 24/7 crypto trading confirms that demand."

The new offering allows traders to trade during weekends and overnight hours when traditional markets are closed but cryptocurrency markets remain active. Users can trade cryptocurrency CFDs with leverage, providing exposure to price movements without directly holding digital assets.

The cryptocurrency products expand Hantec's existing suite of tradable instruments, which includes FX, commodities, indices, and metals.

Q1 2025 Growth

The product update comes a month after the broker reported its strongest first-quarter performance to date. In Q1 2025, trading volume increased by 54.2%, rising from $283.7 billion to $437.6 billion. The number of unique active clients grew by 26.7%, and new account applications surged by 294% compared to the same period in 2024.

During the same quarter, Hantec Markets expanded its strategic partnerships with Atlético de Madrid and Fortaleza EC, enhancing its brand visibility across Latin America. Additionally, the company launched InsightPro—an AI-driven platform that delivers trading signals and sentiment data to users via Telegram, email, and client dashboards.

Separately, FinanceMagnates.com reported that the broker’s UK subsidiary returned to profitability for the financial year ending 31 December 2024. The unit posted a profit of £72,000, reversing a £55,000 loss recorded in 2023. This turnaround occurred despite a drop in annual revenue from £6.81 million to £6.21 million.
