Only closing orders allowed for Bitcoin?

[Guest Sam_codes]

Hi Guys

 

Does anyone know when would IG resume trading on BTC GBP, it is not allowing to place new orders currently.

Hi ,

 

At the moment I'm afraid we're having to confirm our price sources to ensure they are still valid after the fork into Bitcoin Cash.

 

Once we've have adjusted accounts for the Bitcoin Cash aspect we will be able to begin trading on the product again. Currently however the providers with whom we hedge our exposure with have not settled the Bitcoin Cash aspect, so until that is the case I'm afraid there's no time-frame for when the market will be available to trade again.

 

We will get this up and running as soon as possible, but I apologise for the inconvenience in the meantime.

Thanks for your post, 

 

Rob
