Coinbase UK, which is a subsidiary to the worldwide crypto exchange platform Coinbase, has just released its numbers for the first year on the market. unfortunately, we cannot compare it to anything else, because this was their very first year on the British market which makes it impossible to give them a well thought out rating so far. Even though it is impossible to compare it to last year results in order to tell the growth rate because there are none. it is still possible to say that the company was able to procure quite a large amount of revenue for its first year in such a Forex and other trading assets heavy market. For a subsidiary they managed to do better than many other cases of subsidiaries, bringing in more than 125 million Euros as revenue.

If you have a Dukascopy Europe self-trading account you can already give it commands to start trading on the Ethereum, USD CFDs. Leverages are pretty much the same as BTC/USD which will be 1:3 in Dukascopy Bank. However, Dukascopy Europe will be forced to lower the leverage to 1:2 because of the new ESMA regulations.
