Bitcoin Gold

[Guest DrewRoge]

Is there any forecast of when we can begin trading Bitcoin Gold on IG? Will we receive warning?

[JamesIG]

Hi - unfortunately we still don't have any new information regarding bitcoin gold. In this instance we are unfortunately restricted by the underlying market, however as soon as we have any information which would allow the asset to become tradable, we will of course inform clients.

Thank you... just dont want to get hit with a margin call without some warning.

Any further news on Bitcoin Gold now it is listed on most major exchanges ?

[Guest Singapore]

Any estimated date by when Bitcoin Gold will be listed?

[JamesIG]

Hi all - unfortunately there isn't much additional news out at the moment which means we're still unable to list (or speculate on listing) Bitcoin Gold. We have a number of large exchanges who we use to hedge, however they are yet to list these pairs. The exchanges which currently price and trade BTG are generally Chinese and Korean, and some which don't require KYC checks which means we are unable to trade with them.

 

As soon as we have more information we will of course forward it on.

Hi. After the Bitcoin fork on 24 October 2017, my account has been left with two open Bitcoin Gold (USD) positions which are currently valued at 0. If and when IG offer trading on this instrument, will my positions be valued at market rate?

Hi  - exactly that. When Bitcoin gold has been accepted by the exchanges we use to price and trade you positions on, we will be able to offer this online and quoted at the underlying market price.
