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.
The expanded list includes widely recognized assets such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), as well as a variety of altcoins like Avalanche (AVAX), Polkadot (DOT), and NEAR Protocol (NEAR). The firm has also introduced pairs for newer and community-driven tokens, including $TRUMP, dogwifhat or Render.
FTM’s new crypto pairs are available across its trading platforms, including cTrader and Match Trader. The firm highlights several features aimed at attracting active traders, such as up to 1:100 leverage, zero commissions on crypto trades, and payouts reportedly processed within 24 business hours. Both instant funding and evaluation-based models are offered.
“Great news for all crypto traders. We’ve just added 30+ new crypto pairs,” the company commented this week, presenting the list of newly added tokens and the full list of available digital assets.

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.
Earlier this year, Klein Funding partnered with the cryptocurrency exchange Bybit to streamline crypto trading for retail investors interested in the space. Crypto Fund Trader has also entered into a collaboration with the same platform. Meanwhile, Hydra Funding recently expanded its offering to include access to 30 cryptocurrency pairs.
Beyond crypto, proprietary firms are increasingly moving into the futures market. For instance, in recent weeks, For Traders partnered with DXtrade to provide clients with access to a simulated futures trading environment.
Another example is FundedNext, which recently launched a separate brand—FundedNext Futures—to focus exclusively on this segment of the market.
