On Monday, 8th July 2024, Capital.com announced the termination of overnight funding fees on non-leveraged cryptocurrency and stock CFDs, a change that benefits traders with more than a single entry position.
Capital.com Overnight Fees Scrap on Non-Leveraged Cryptocurrency and Stock CFDs
The move occurs as Capital.com notices a shift in retail traders’ conduct towards extended investment durations, especially in crypto and stock markets. According to the entity’s data, 89% of Q2 2024 non-leveraged overnight positions were in cryptocurrencies and stocks, while only 28% were in commodities.
Capital.com’s Chief Product Officer Dana Massey says the company’s data indicates that retail traders are moving beyond single-day trading to examine various trading styles, including long-term trading in popular crypto and stocks. The company’s decision supports retail traders in this move.
Further, the entity’s data discloses that overnight stock position holders maintain the positions for up to 7 days and an average of 4 days for crypto traders. On the other hand, Capital.com maintains commodities and indices positions for up to 3 days.
According to Massey, Capital.com traders can now explore long-term investment strategies with 0% overnight funding on crucial markets like cryptocurrencies and shares without worrying about the extra cost.
The new Capital.com policy applies to overnight funding on 1:1 leverage contracts for differences trades for crypto and share markets. It doesn’t affect trade on other markets or with other leverage ratios.
Capital.com, whose client trading volumes exceeded $1 trillion in 2023, continuously adapts its offerings to satisfy the fluctuating demands of retail traders. The July partnership with TradeView is among the mentioned changes. TradingView is a famous charting platform allowing traders access to more developed charts.
