About Ethereum Classic
Ethereum Classic is a blockchain network that supports smart contracts and decentralised applications. Its native asset, ETC, is used to pay transaction fees and reward miners who secure the network. ETCUSD expresses the value of Ethereum Classic in US dollars, with the quote showing the dollar value of each ETC.
Ethereum Classic preserves the original Ethereum chain following a split over how to respond to a major application exploit. Its identity centres on preserving blockchain transaction history rather than reversing it through intervention. The network uses proof-of-work mining, making miner participation, network security and the economics of mining relevant to understanding its ecosystem.
On Xellion's MT5 platform, Ethereum Classic is traded as a CFD under ETCUSD, allowing a position to be long or short without owning the underlying asset. The contract size is 1 ETC, and trading is available seven days a week outside platform maintenance windows. CFD exposure involves leverage-related risk, while crypto price volatility can amplify losses.

ETCUSD questions
What does the ETCUSD quote represent?
ETCUSD shows the value of Ethereum Classic expressed in US dollars. ETC is the native asset of the Ethereum Classic network. On Xellion, the symbol represents CFD exposure to that price rather than ownership of ETC.
How is Ethereum Classic different from Ethereum?
Ethereum Classic and Ethereum share a common blockchain history but operate as separate networks. Ethereum Classic retained the original chain after a disputed intervention and uses proof-of-work mining. Their native assets, development paths and network activity are distinct.
Do I need a crypto wallet to trade ETCUSD on Xellion?
Trading ETCUSD as a CFD on Xellion's MT5 platform does not involve receiving or storing ETC, so no crypto wallet is needed for the position. You can hold a long or short position without owning the underlying asset.
What are the contract size and trading hours for ETCUSD?
The ETCUSD contract size is 1 ETC. Trading is available seven days a week, outside platform maintenance windows. This schedule does not imply uninterrupted access, and Ethereum Classic's underlying market price may move while platform trading is unavailable.
