CryptoAltum is an unregulated, crypto-only Forex and CFD broker founded in 2024 and registered in the Marshall Islands. It offers a $1 minimum deposit, MT5 trading, and leverage up to 1:500 on more than 60 cryptocurrency CFDs, but carries no license from any financial regulator, so client funds have no statutory protection.
Regulation and Jurisdiction
CryptoAltum operates from the Marshall Islands, an offshore jurisdiction, and is not regulated by any financial authority. It accepts clients worldwide except residents of the US and other countries where trading is restricted.
Accounts and Minimum Deposit
Accounts are funded exclusively in cryptocurrency: Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), and the stablecoin Tether (USDT). The minimum deposit is $1, or 0.0001 BTC; there is no option to fund an account directly in fiat currency, though debit/credit card top-ups are available through the Instacoins service. Islamic (swap-free) accounts and deposit bonuses are both available; segregated and PAMM accounts are not offered.
Trading Instruments and Leverage
The core offering is CFDs on more than 60 cryptocurrencies, traded against fiat currencies or other coins, with leverage up to 1:500. CryptoAltum also lists over 10 currency pairs, key stock indices, and gold. Crypto instruments trade 24/7; forex, commodities, and indices trade 24 hours a day, Monday to Friday.
Spreads and Costs
Spreads float across all instruments and can widen in volatile conditions; the BTC/USD spread is quoted at 1.75 pips. CryptoAltum does not charge a separate commission, building its margin into the spread instead. There is no withdrawal fee or inactivity fee.
Trading Platform
All trading runs on MT5, available as a Windows desktop application, a web terminal, and mobile apps for Android and iOS. The platform supports automated trading, scalping, and VPS hosting; social trading and trading signals are not offered.

Trading conditions
CryptoAltum focuses on cryptocurrency CFDs alongside a conventional forex and index range, on MetaTrader 5 only, with crypto-only funding and very high leverage.
Two things follow from that combination. Crypto-only funding means no card or bank rail exists, so a deposit cannot be reversed by a chargeback and a withdrawal depends entirely on the broker sending it. And high leverage on an asset class that routinely moves double digits in a day compresses the distance to a stop-out to almost nothing.
Hedging, scalping and Expert Advisors are permitted.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and a proof of address, normally reviewed within one to two business days and required before the first withdrawal.
Saint Vincent registers companies but does not license or supervise forex business. There is no leverage cap, no conduct rulebook, no complaints mechanism and no investor compensation scheme — the firm's own record of paying withdrawals is the only evidence available, and a dispute has nowhere to escalate to.
