Crypto Brokers in Antigua and Barbuda, 2026

Tracked byUpdated

Antigua and Barbuda is a Caribbean offshore financial centre — the FSRC licences international banks, trust companies and select forex/CFD operators under the International Business Corporations Act. The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD) is pegged to the USD at 2.7000 (one of the longest-running pegs globally), removing FX conversion friction for retail traders. Most retail FX/CFD activity for residents routes through offshore brokers using USD wires.

There are no statutory leverage caps for offshore-served residents; brokers apply their own limits.
