Fusion Markets for crypto: cheapest ASIC route to BTC/ETH

Fusion Markets built its entire proposition around cost: $2.25 per lot round-turn commission on the ZERO account, raw ECN spreads from the interbank feed, and zero minimum deposit. For BTC/USD, this translates to an all-in cost of approximately $30-50 per Bitcoin at the round-trip, competitive with institutional prime brokerage rates and cheaper than every comparable ASIC-regulated broker we reviewed. If lowest-cost execution within a tier-1 regulatory framework is your only metric, Fusion Markets wins.

Crypto CFD range

BTC/USD and ETH/USD are the core pairs, with occasional availability of LTC/USD and XRP/USD depending on account type. The focus is intentional, by concentrating liquidity on two pairs, Fusion delivers tighter and more consistent execution than brokers who spread liquidity thinly across 30+ coins. Classic accounts (spread-only, no commission) are available but carry wider all-in costs than the ZERO account.

Platform

MT4 and MT5 are the platforms of record. There is no proprietary platform, which is a deliberate choice: the cost structure works because resources are not spent on front-end development. The full MetaTrader environment, custom indicators, Expert Advisors, VPS hosting options, applies to crypto pairs identically to how it applies to FX instruments.

Regulation

ASIC (AFSL 385620) is the regulatory authority. Retail clients receive negative balance protection, segregated client funds, and the compliance framework that ASIC mandates. Zero minimum deposit means you can open an ASIC-regulated crypto CFD account with less capital than most platforms require for their demo accounts.

Where it falls short

Crypto selection is the narrowest of any broker reviewed here, two core pairs, with limited expansion. There is no research, market analysis, or educational content, and live chat support is not available around the clock. Fusion works for experienced, self-directed traders only. If you need hand-holding, a dedicated educational platform, or access to altcoin CFDs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, you will need a different account.

Bottom line

Fusion Markets is the strongest choice in the ASIC-regulated space for disciplined traders who want the minimum possible cost for BTC/USD and ETH/USD CFD exposure and bring their own analytical framework to the table. For everyone else, the lack of research and narrow selection are real limitations.
