IG BTC/USD Spread
IG quotes BTC/USD — the bitcoin vs US dollar pair — with a standard spread of 36 points on Bitcoin (variable). 36 points on Bitcoin (variable) places it 8th out of the 9 brokers we track quoting BTC/USD, wider than the median of 12.0. Spreads are quoted in dollars.
Fee context from our review: IG offers competitive trading fees with spreads starting from 0.6 pips on EUR/USD. However, 2026 sees some fee increases: overnight funding admin fees rose to 1.5% in Dec 2026. Share dealing is commission-free for active traders (3+ trades/qtr), otherwise £24/qtr custody fee applies.
