It may mean you could buy bitcoin and transfer it to a crypto exchange to buy another coin. I wonder if you can buy bitcoin on portfolio margin?
I wonder if you could as well. No portfolio margin for us in Canada It would definitely make the bitcoin contango trade easier to do for those selling bitcoin futures and buying bitcoin spot.
IB does not offer portfolio margin in Canada in general? I am quite interested in this answer. Could you please comment on that?
IB doesn't offer portfolio margin in Canada And neither do the other brokers as the Regulator doesn't allow it.
The e-mini Bitcoin future (0.1 BTC) is coming soon to the CME on 5/3/21. I don't know if it will be available on IB by then.
