FTMO is the best-known prop firm — but it is built around forex, indices and CFDs. BuyCrypt is built for crypto traders: real trading across 10 exchanges, funded from $5 or free, an 80% split, and USDT payouts proven on-chain.
FTMO popularised the funded-trader model, but its markets are forex-first. If you trade crypto, you want a firm that is crypto-native — real exchanges, real crypto pairs, and payouts in USDT you can verify on-chain. That is the gap BuyCrypt fills: a crypto prop firm where the evaluation, the funding and the payout are all built around crypto.
