Funded Trader Markets (FTM), a retail prop firm based in Cyprus, has significantly broadened its cryptocurrency trading options, adding more than 30 new crypto pairs to its platform. With this expansion, FTM now offers traders access to over 40 different digital assets.

In recent months, a growing trend has emerged among firms offering challenge-based simulated trading environments, originating from the CFD market—mainly Forex (FX). These firms are increasingly shifting toward offering their clients either regulated futures products or cryptocurrencies.

Prop Firms Move to Crypto (And Futures)

Funded Trader Markets’ move to expand its crypto suite reflects a broader trend among proprietary trading firms to adapt to shifting market demand.

One recent example is Instant Funding, which announced last week that it is launching its own CFD brokerage and plans to debut a crypto-only challenge-based platform later this month.

Another example is FundedNext, which recently launched a separate brand—FundedNext Futures—to focus exclusively on this segment of the market.
