What is crypto trading?

Last reviewed:

Crypto trading means buying and selling crypto, often over short periods, in the hope that prices move your way. Trades can happen on exchanges, in apps or directly between people. Some trading uses borrowed money, which makes both gains and losses bigger. Prices move all day, every day, and many short-term traders lose money.
