JustMarkets Crypto Review 2027: Fees, Coins and Regulation

The group is headquartered in Seychelles and has added companies in Cyprus, South Africa and Mauritius. Its client base is concentrated in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, where its local-language service and payment options are strongest.

It is privately owned and does not publish financial statements.

The broker offers CFDs on bitcoin, ether and a selection of other large coins. We have no verified count. The selection is adequate for trading the main names and thin beyond them.

These are CFDs with no ownership of coins.

On standard accounts, crypto is spread-only with no commission. We do not have an independently tested bitcoin spread and so offer no ranking on cost. Raw-spread accounts charge a commission on currencies.

The account range typically includes:

• Standard Cent: balances in cents for micro-sized trading
• Standard: the default no-commission account
• Pro: tighter spreads without commission
• Raw Spread: lowest spreads plus commission

Whether crypto is available on every account type should be checked in the contract specifications.

A one-dollar minimum is the lowest in our comparison. It removes any barrier to opening an account. It does not make one dollar a workable trading balance: the smallest bitcoin CFD position requires far more margin than that at any sensible leverage.

Read the minimum as "no minimum". The useful question is how much you need for the smallest position with a margin of safety, and the answer is tens or hundreds of dollars.

Overnight swaps apply to crypto positions on standard accounts. Swap-free terms are available to clients in certain countries.

Seychelles licenses securities dealers and sets basic requirements on capital and segregation. It does not cap leverage for retail clients or operate a compensation scheme. If a dispute cannot be settled with the broker, a client's options are limited.

The firm states that it offers negative balance protection and keeps client funds separate. Those are policies, and they have value, but they are not backed by a strong regulator.

The broker does not offer its services to UK retail clients or to residents of the United States.

In the EU the retail limit on crypto is 1:2. At the offshore entities leverage on crypto is far higher, and on currencies it reaches levels that few regulators anywhere would allow. Leverage is adjustable in the client area. Choosing a low setting at the start is the most effective protection available.

A small balance tempts the trader to use high leverage in order to open a position of meaningful size. That leaves almost no room for the price to move. A normal fluctuation closes the trade, the balance shrinks and the next trade needs even more leverage. Most small accounts at high-leverage brokers follow this path. A Cent account with very small positions breaks the cycle.

• MetaTrader 4
• MetaTrader 5
• The JustMarkets mobile app

The app handles registration, funding and trading and is built for clients who rely on a phone. There is no cTrader or proprietary desktop platform.

Deposits and withdrawals through local banks, mobile wallets and regional payment systems are the firm's strongest feature. Many are processed automatically within minutes. Crypto funding is also accepted. For clients in countries where international transfers are slow and costly, this speed is the main attraction.

A copy-trading service allows clients to follow traders ranked by performance and to pay them a share of profits. Minimum amounts are low. Past returns at high leverage say little about what will happen next.

The offshore entity offers deposit bonuses of up to a substantial percentage of the amount paid in. A bonus enlarges trading margin but cannot be withdrawn directly, and conditions apply before profits linked to it can be taken out. It encourages bigger positions on a small real balance.

A new client deposits $30 into a Cent account, where it appears as 3,000 cents. Trading the smallest sizes on currency pairs, each point of movement is worth a fraction of a cent. The client can make dozens of real trades, learn how orders and stops behave and lose, at worst, a few dollars. Crypto CFDs, with their larger contract values, may not fit such a balance at all, and that is useful information in itself.

The broker quotes market execution with no requotes and fast average speeds. Expert advisors, scalping and hedging are permitted.

Crypto CFDs are tradable through the week and on weekends for most instruments.

The website offers articles, video lessons and webinars in regional languages, along with daily analysis. The material is basic and suited to first-time traders.

Support is available around the clock, every day, in several Asian and African languages as well as English. Live chat is quick.

Practice accounts with virtual money can be opened on both MetaTrader versions at no cost, and it is sensible to rehearse crypto trades there first.

The firm states that client funds are held in segregated accounts. No independent compensation scheme covers clients of the offshore entities.

Some Asian regulators maintain lists of online brokers that are not authorised locally, and offshore brands appear on them regularly. Before depositing, look up the name on your national regulator's website. If it is listed as unauthorised, you would be trading without local legal protection.

MetaTrader statements and the client area's transaction history are the only records provided. Download them periodically, since tax authorities in several of the countries served have begun asking residents to declare gains from foreign trading accounts.

Exness is larger, publishes audited figures and has a tested bitcoin spread. Octa charges no swaps. JustMarkets competes on the lowest minimum deposit and on fast local payments, with a similar offshore regulatory profile.

It may suit you if you:

• Live in a region where the broker has local payment methods and is permitted to operate.
• Want to practise on a Cent account with very small sums.
• Will set leverage low and ignore bonuses.

It is not suitable for those who need strong regulatory protection, for crypto-focused traders, or for UK, EU and US residents seeking a top-tier provider.
