AnyOption Adds Bitcoin Trading

Due to the huge popularity of Bitcoin, binary trading provider AnyOption decided to add Bitcoins as one of the large number of underlying assets provided. From now on, traders registered at the broker will have the opportunity to place predictions on the future movement and fluctuation of the Bitcoin/USD exchange rate.

The new AnyOption Bitcoin trading service will take place using the company’s standard online trading platform. Bitcoin binary options trading will only be possible using the one touch binary options trading model.

Using the one touch trading model, traders will have the opportunity to predict if the Bitcoin/USD exchange rate will reach a previously established value during a certain time frame. Since trading one touch options is a bit more difficult than trading high/low options, AnyOption will provide very advantageous payout rates on its Bitcoin trading platform.

The lowest payout rate offered on Bitcoin trading by the broker is 120% however the overwhelming majority of the options contracts offered have payout rates of around 190% to 220%, which is considered to be extremely advantageous and lucrative in the binary trading business.

Most expiration times range between 5 to 14 days, meaning that traders will have a very good chance of predicting the movement of the Bitcoin/USD exchange rate. The longer the expiration time of an option is, the easier traders will be able to predict the underlying asset’s movement.

As such, the new Bitcoin trading service provided by the broker can be considered to be extremely advantageous both for new and old traders. Added with the very high payout rates, traders will be able to generate substantial profits with Bitcoin binary trading at AnyOption.

Banc de Binary Expands to Italy with New License

Market leader Banc de Binary is now a licensed binary options broker in Italy. The company is the first broker to receive a binary options license in the Southern European country. This news comes after Italy not so long ago decided to block people’s access to unregulated binary options sites.

A few weeks ago, the Italian government announced that it would begin to ban binary options brokers by ordering ISPs located in the country to block people’s access to such websites. Many brokers at that time were discontent due to the fact that they were not allowed to apply for a license and operating inside of the law in the country.

However, now it appears that Italian authorities decided to give binary options brokers the opportunity to receive an official license. An official license issued by CONSOB attests that a recipient of the license respects all the laws and regulations of the country when it comes to the provision of financial services.

It’s also not a coincidence that Banc de Binary is the first broker to become licensed in the country. Bbinary is widely regarded as one of the safest and most reputable brokers in Europe. The company was also the first broker to become licensed in Cyprus by the Cyprus Securities and Exchanges Commission.

After this, the company became licensed in the United Kingdom as well by the prestigious FSA. The FSA was in the meantime disbanded in the UK and replaced by two new agencies, however Banc de Binary’s UK license is still valid and allows the company to operate in the country.

At this moment Banc de Binary is also in the process of becoming regulated in the United States. In order to successfully apply for a US license, the company decided to disallow the registration of traders from the United States. If the broker receives a US license too, then it will become one of the best-regulated binary options companies on the planet.

About Banc de Binary

Banc de Binary is one of the largest regulated binary options brokers on the market. Unlike other companies, Banc de Binary always sought to receive a valid license in the countries and jurisdictions it was operating in.

The broker offers high-quality binary options trading services on a very large number of assets such as forex currency pairs, commodities, stocks and indices. At this moment trading is available on the traditional high/low options, one-touch options and 60 seconds options types.

A great tool provided by the broker is its options builder feature. This feature permits traders to design their own binary options based on payout rate, risk factor, underlying asset, expiry time and more. The average payout rate offered by the broker is around 85%, however certain options such as one touch options can offer payout rates of up to 500% as well.

This news comes after in February this year the US CFTC approved the company’s subsidiaries Cantor Clearinghouse as a registered Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) and CantorExchange as Designated Contract Market (DCM).

The new binary options trading service portfolio will be offered though the CantorExchange subsidiary. At this moment it appears that the new binary options exchange will use a platform that’s very similar to the regular CantorExchange online trading platform.

At this moment it’s not certain when the new binary options exchange trading service will be offered and what type of clients will be targeted. However, it appears that the minimum first deposit amount required by the broker will only be $100. This means that the company will intend to target retail clients instead of institutional clients.

A New Competitor to NADEX Emerges

Based on the minimum first deposit amount of just $100 it can be concluded that Cantor will be focusing on retail clients. This means that the company intends to go head to head with market leader NADEX (North American Derivatives Exchange).

Cantor will be the first major and serious competitor to NADEX due to the fact that not many brokers are at this moment regulated in the country. Due to the very strict US financial regulations most binary options brokers are unable to successfully apply for a license.

However, most companies continue to operate from outside of the US. Inside of the US however, NADEX was pretty much the only provider of binary options trading that was also regulated and licensed by US authorities.

Now with the imminent launch of the binary options trading services by Cantor, NADEX will risk losing a substantial market share. The competition between the two companies will in the end be a good thing for traders because the two companies will be determined to develop better services.

Binary Options Exchange Trading

Binary options exchange trading is a special type of binary options trading. Unlike in regular options trading, in exchange trading traders aren’t betting against the broker. Instead, in exchange trading traders will bet against each other. An exchange broker will generate revenues by charging a commission on the money invested by traders.

As such, from a broker’s perspective it’s irrelevant if traders win or lose. Each time a trader loses another one will win. The money lost by a losing trader will not go to the broker but to another winning trader. For this reason, exchange trading is preferred by some traders believing that it offers a safer trading environment than traditional binary options trading.

About Cantor 

Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P is a major international financial service provider that was founded in 1945. The company serves more than 5,000 institutional customers around the globe and has over 8,500 workers in more than 20 countries.

The company’s subsidiary, CantorExchange, is an internet based financial service provider that focuses mostly on retail clients. Due to Cantor’s huge experience in the business, the new binary options exchange service is expected to become very popular and successful in the US.

All new traders have to do in order to receive this bonus is to register at the broker. After this, the bonus money will be credited into their accounts instantly. There are also no strings attached to this bonus. Traders will be able to use all the features and tools offered by the broker much like traders who made a real money deposit.

This bonus is mainly awarded for traders to be able to evaluate all the features and possibilities provided by the broker. A bonus of just 10 Euros gives traders a lot of opportunities giving the fact that the minimum investment amount per options contract requires by the broker is just 1 Euro.

After evaluating all the features offered by the broker, traders have the possibility to make a real money deposit. As explained above, there are no strings attached to the bonus; if traders don’t like the broker, they are free to leave without any obligations to make a payment of any kind.

About Boyingba

Boyingba is a new and relatively unknown binary options broker on the market. What other larger companies achieve will huge paid advertisement campaigns, Boyingba tries to achieve by offering a very attractive no deposit bonus to newly registering traders.

At this moment the broker functions on a very simplistic but yet efficient online trading platform. The platform offered by the broker might not necessarily be very modern but it definitely lives up to the task it was created for. At this moment the platform only offers the classic high/low binary options type.

Traders will have the possibility to trade on a large variety of forex pairs, commodities, indices and stocks. The size of the broker’s asset portfolio is comparable to those of larger and well-established brokers. So Boyingba performs well in this regard.

A distinct characteristic of the broker is the fact that it only offers options trading contracts with expiries of exactly 10 minutes. In the binary options world an expiry of 10 minutes is neither short nor long; it’s perhaps the most optimal expiration time available.

An expiry of 10 minutes allows traders to use advanced binary options strategy to make accurate predictions and at the same time is not too long to let trader wait too much for the outcome. Added with the fact that only high/low options are offered, traders will have an easy time making right predictions.

The broker also offers an important number of payment processors that brokers can use in order to make deposits and request withdrawals. Deposits will be credited into traders’ account instantaneously. However, in the case of withdrawals traders will have to wait a couple of days until they are processed.

At this moment the broker is available in English and Chinese. The broker can be contacted by clients though email. However, it also leaves traders the possibility to submit their hone numbers after which a support representative will call them back.

After the huge media attention Bitcoin received in the recent past, many forex and binary brokers have expressed their interest in allow traders to either use Bitcoins as a form of currency for trading or trading directly on the movement of the Bitcoin trading market.

IG Index Becomes the First Provider of Bitcoin Trading

Not even a few weeks after the value of a Bitcoin reached record-breaking highs and resulted in a lot of media attention, a financial service provider already announced that it would begin offering binary trading services on Bitcoins. This comoany is IG Index.

Traders registered at IG Index will have the possibility to bet on the movement of the value of a Bitcoin in US dollars. All contracts will have an expiration date of May 31st, allowing traders to make very accurate predictions regarding the changes in the value of a Bitcoin.

Effect on the Binary Options Business

It was only a question of time until the first company would begin to offer binary bets on Bitcoins. IG’s decision to implement this type of trading will for sure determine a large number of other brokers to offer the same.

IG Index isn’t a traditional binary options broker and as such its new Bitcoin binary contracts come with a long expiration date that will not necessarily be of the liking of most traders. However, all this could change once regular binary brokers decide to implement Bitcoin trading.

Once regular brokers implement Bitcoin trading, trading on Bitcoins will work the same as trading on any normal asset offered in binary options. Traders will be allowed to choose as large investments as they like and expiration dates will become much shorter than the ones offered by IG Index.

It’s expected that the services offered by IG Index itself will be upgraded in the near future. In the present however, the company will most likely focus on evaluating the initial reception of Bitcoin binary options trading.

About IG Index

IG Index is a financial service provider that offers multiple types of online trading possibilities such as spread betting, options trading, stock trading, forex trading and more. The company is a real one-stop-shop when it comes to online financial trading services.

IG Index is owned by the renowned UK-based IG Group. IG Group is one of the largest global financial service providers. The group has three main brands that are IG Index, IG Markets and NADEX. As explained above, IG Index is the company’s forex, stocks and options trading service brand.
