It's no different. All instruments have their own behaviour and crypto is no more different to, say, crude than the FTSE is to the Nas. But it isn't FCA regulated, whilst all major UK brokers are. I think the SEC goes further with it.

Crypto is horrendous with the amount of pump and dumps that have left lots with big losses and because it was a pump and dump they were always going to lose.

The markets do that too...at 30:1 leverage. So a move 1/30th of the size of a crypto move up and down is just as detrimental. That kind of leverage on crypto isn't available in the UK. I don't trade crypto btw. I hold some XRP from $0.54, but that's it. But the myth that it can be more damaging than the normal markets isn't true.
