  A raw spread account in cryptocurrency trading refers to an account type where the spreads are not marked up by the broker. This means that the spreads offered to traders are the same as the spreads in the market. On the other hand, a standard account may have marked-up spreads, meaning that the broker adds a markup to the spreads offered to traders. This markup is the broker's profit. So, the main difference between a raw spread account and a standard account is the presence of a markup on the spreads in a standard account.

  When it comes to cryptocurrency trading, a raw spread account offers traders the advantage of trading with tighter spreads. Since the spreads are not marked up by the broker, traders can benefit from more competitive pricing. On the other hand, a standard account may have wider spreads due to the markup added by the broker. This can result in higher trading costs for traders. Therefore, the choice between a raw spread account and a standard account depends on the trader's preference for tighter spreads or potentially lower trading costs.
