Positions both long and short

CFDs let you speculate on the price of DOT without buying the real asset. Above all, you have the option of taking a short position (Short) to profit from a fall in prices, which is very complex on a traditional exchange.

ECN/STP model with no hidden commission

Our no-Dealing-Desk execution model adds no hidden commission on your standard trades. We are compensated through an ultra-tight spread, which considerably reduces your transaction costs.

Understanding the Polkadot project: Layer 0 and interoperability

The project was created by Dr Gavin Wood, one of the original co-founders of Ethereum, with the support of the Web3 Foundation and the company Parity Technologies. Polkadot is a protocol described as "Layer 0", built around a core called the Relay Chain, whose purpose is to enable other Layer 1 blockchains to communicate.
To ensure its security, Polkadot uses a mechanism called Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS). This eco-friendly protocol allows DOT token holders to take part in the network and validate blocks in exchange for a reward.
The blockchain is paced by parachain auctions: projects compete to secure a "slot" connected to the Relay Chain by locking up large amounts of DOT tokens. For smaller projects, the network offers the parathread, a "pay-as-you-go" solution. Staking and these auctions reduce the number of tokens in circulation, increasing the scarcity of DOT.

Full FAQ: everything you need to know about trading Polkadot (DOT)

A compilation of the most popular questions asked by our community of traders about the DOT ecosystem and our CFD offering.

Polkadot is a Layer 0 blockchain protocol focused on interoperability. It enables other independent blockchains (called parachains) to connect, communicate and share their security. DOT is its governance and utility token.

CFDs let you speculate on the price of DOT without needing to buy the real asset or a wallet or physical Ledger. Above all, you have the option of taking a short position (Short) to profit from a fall in prices.

No. No serious broker promises 100% winning trading. The crypto market is extremely volatile: the potential gains are significant, but the risk of loss is just as great, particularly because of leverage.

A parachain is a blockchain permanently connected to the Polkadot network (leased through an auction). A parathread works on the same model but on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, ideal for projects requiring less frequent connectivity.

No. Staking involves locking up real crypto on the blockchain to secure the network. Since you are trading CFDs, you do not hold the physical tokens; the aim is purely to speculate on the movement of the price.

We apply an ECN/STP execution model with no Dealing Desk. There is no hidden commission on your standard trades: we are compensated through an ultra-tight spread, which considerably reduces your transaction costs.

You need to combine technical analysis (studying the chart, momentum indicator) with fundamental analysis. Regularly checking the news (ETF approvals, foundation announcements) is essential to anticipate volatility shocks.

Yes. Raise Global SA Pty Ltd is regulated by the FSCA (licence 50506). Our clients' funds are segregated in top-tier banking institutions, entirely separate from the company's own treasury.
