Axi Says 46% of Clients Now Hold Crypto Exposure

Axi has reported that 46% of its client base now holds some form of crypto exposure across its product range, including spot crypto access, CFDs, and perpetual contracts.

The update comes after a quieter period for digital asset volatility, suggesting that client interest in crypto has not disappeared even when short-term market movement has been less active.

Crypto access expands beyond derivatives

According to Axi, client activity is no longer limited to leveraged crypto products. The broker said its Buy Crypto feature allows users to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies directly on the platform, adding a spot-style ownership option alongside its existing derivative products.

This reflects a broader shift among trading platforms, where crypto is increasingly offered in more than one format. Instead of choosing only between leveraged trading or staying outside the market, clients can access the same asset class through different structures.

Clients are using multiple product types

Axi said its data points to a mix of behaviours. Some clients continue to trade crypto through CFDs and perpetual contracts, while others are using direct crypto ownership without leverage.

The broker also noted that some users appear to be holding crypto for longer periods, suggesting that activity is not only short-term speculation. In some cases, crypto exposure is being used as part of wider portfolio diversification.

A changing product mix for brokers

The update comes as more CFD and retail trading platforms have been expanding their crypto offerings beyond traditional derivatives.

For brokers, the product mix is becoming broader: CFDs, perpetual-style instruments, and direct ownership can now sit inside the same trading environment. That gives clients more ways to access the same market, while also making product design and disclosure more important.

Final note

Axis latest figures show that crypto remains a meaningful part of client activity, even during a period of softer volatility. The key development is not only the percentage of clients holding crypto exposure, but the way that exposure is being split across different product types, from direct ownership to derivatives.
