BITCOIN / BTC
A different approach to money.
Bitcoin is a decentralised digital currency with a protocol-defined supply limit of 21 million coins. Some investors view it as a long-term store of value; its price remains highly volatile.

How we calculated this example
We modelled one A$20 purchase at each completed weekly close, from 21 Sept 2016 to 16 Sept 2026. A 0.6% purchase fee is deducted from each contribution, leaving A$19.88 invested. The split option invests half in each asset on every purchase, without rebalancing.
Prices use Kraken BTC/USD and ETH/USD weekly closing data, converted to AUD using the RBA USD-per-AUD rate for that date, or the latest preceding business day. The current, unfinished weekly candle is excluded. Holdings are valued at each weekly close, without selling. The gain or loss is portfolio value minus contributions, not an annual return.
This is a hypothetical market-data calculation, not a Swyftx account record. It assumes every purchase could execute at the sampled price. It excludes spreads, slippage, tax, sell and withdrawal costs, staking rewards and inflation. The current 0.6% Swyftx regular purchase fee is an assumption applied across the period, not a reconstruction of past platform fees. Different dates or execution prices change the result.
Sources: Kraken weekly price data, RBA exchange rates and Swyftx trading fees. Calculated 22 September 2026; this is a fixed historical example.

Two assets.Different ideas.
Bitcoin and Ethereum serve different purposes. Learn about each before deciding whether either belongs in your plans.
ETHEREUM / ETH
A network for digital applications.
Ethereum supports applications and smart contracts. Ether, or ETH, is its native asset, used to pay network transaction fees. Owning ETH does not give you shares in a company or guaranteed income.

BEFORE YOU START
A few practical details.
Can I use $20 a week for Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Swyftx’s current Auto Invest guide lists a $1 minimum per asset. That allows a $20 total order to be allocated across BTC and ETH, or used for one asset. Choose your own allocation and review the current minimums and fees in Swyftx before confirming.
Does Auto Invest earn interest?
No. Auto Invest automates purchases. It does not itself pay interest or produce a fixed return. The historical example above reflects past market-price changes, not interest earned or a prediction of future gains.
Can I change or stop my weekly purchases?
You can edit or pause Auto Invest orders through Swyftx. If you fund purchases using a recurring bank transfer, also review or stop that transfer with your bank when appropriate.
What costs should I check?
Check Swyftx’s current trading fees, spreads and any applicable deposit or withdrawal costs. Review the quote and order details before committing funds. View Swyftx’s fees.
Does Huqo manage my investments?
No. Huqo introduces you to Swyftx through a paid partnership. We do not hold your funds, manage your account or provide personal financial advice. Consider independent financial and tax advice for your circumstances.
