Review	Review
PrimeXBT is a multi-asset platform providing leveraged trading across forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Established in 2018, it now boasts over 1 million users from upwards of 150 countries. Offering copy trading, low commissions, and no minimum deposit, this broker is a favoured choice for those new to crypto trading.	Eightcap, an acclaimed broker regulated by the FCA, offers exceptionally low trading costs. Recognised as the top-rated brand by TradingView's vast user base of 100 million, traders can directly access the platform. UK traders can open a live account with a minimum deposit of just £100.
Pros
The online platform and app cater to traders, offering advanced charts, a customisable interface, and multiple order options like one-cancels-the-other (OCO). Trading fees for crypto futures contracts are quite competitive, with maker fees at 0.01% and taker fees at 0.02%. PrimeXBT offers ultra-fast execution speeds, averaging 7.12ms, making it an ideal choice for traders seeking optimal pricing during market volatility. Round-the-clock customer support, accessible through live chat, demonstrated outstanding performance during testing. Additionally, the comprehensive help centre offers ideal self-assistance resources. PrimeXBT has introduced new trading options with the addition of tokens such as 1Inch, Aave, and Injective for exchange and investment.	Eightcap has excelled in all essential trading areas, surpassing all rivals to clinch our 'Best Overall Broker' award for 2024. It also earned the titles of 'Best Crypto Broker' and 'Best TradingView Broker' for 2025. With spreads starting at 0 pips, minimal commission charges, and leverage up to 1:500 for select clients, Eightcap delivers affordable and flexible trading opportunities. These conditions suit various strategies, such as trading and scalping. In 2021, Eightcap enhanced its lineup, now providing an extensive range of cryptocurrency CFDs. It offers crypto/fiat and crypto/crypto pairs, along with crypto indices for comprehensive market exposure. Eightcap distinguishes itself with a robust range of trading tools and resources. It offers MT4 and MT5 platforms, the cutting-edge algorithmic platform Capitalise.ai, and recently integrated with TradingView, a social trading network with 100 million users.
Cons
Despite enhancements, the range of approximately 100 instruments lags significantly behind competitors, such as OKX, which offers over 400 assets. PrimeXBT operates widely in the crypto sector but without approval from a recognised regulator, significantly increasing the risk for retail traders. The absence of integration with established platforms such as MT4 restricts traders accustomed to the globally popular forex software.	Despite the growing range of tools available, Eightcap lacks popular industry resources such as Autochartist and Trading Central. These provide advanced charting analytics, live news, and essential market insights for traders focused on short-term strategies. Eightcap must strengthen its range of instruments to rival leading firms such as Blackbull Markets, which offers over 26,000 assets. Its current offering, especially in commodities, requires enhancement. The demo account is available for 30 days, after which it requires a request for extension. This is less convenient than XM's offering, which provides an unlimited demo mode. Despite a helpful array of educational guides and e-books in Labs, Eightcap lags behind IG's extensive resources for aspiring traders. IG boasts a dedicated Academy app and features 18 diverse course categories.

Trading App
	Eightcap supports the MT4, MT5 and TradingView apps (the only FCA regulated broker offering TradingView), catering to mobile traders looking for advanced charting tools. While we don’t love the increasingly outdated design of the MetaTrader suite, its dozens of technical indicators and drawing tools, multiple charting styles, and straightforward overlays in horizontal mode are excellent. The push notifications and active social network on the TradingView app are also valuable additions for aspiring traders and Eightcap has published helpful videos on connecting TradingView accounts to iOS and Android devices.

Additionally, 24/7 live chat support is available on the platform.	Eightcap provides an extensive selection of trading options with over 800 CFDs covering equities, indices, bonds, commodities, and digital currencies, subject to regional availability.

Despite these strengths, Eightcap's selection of commodities, especially softs such as cotton and wheat, along with its range of precious metals and energy assets, remains limited and could benefit from further development.

This makes it ideal for those employing active trading strategies.

The broker's competitively low commissions at $3.50 per side further enhance its appeal.
