🚀 Why Forex Giants Entering Futures Is a Good Thing for Traders
For years, the futures prop firm world has been dominated by a few familiar names. But something exciting is happening in 2025: two of the biggest Forex prop firms—FundedNext and FundingTicks—have officially entered the futures space.
And guess what? That’s a very good thing for all of us.
The Reputation Problem: Why This Is Surprising
Let’s be honest. When most traders hear “Forex prop firm,” the first reaction is… skeptical at best. The Forex space is notorious for inconsistent payouts, shady rules, and a sea of knockoff operations.
But that’s not the case with FundedNext and FundingTicks. These are top-three Forex firms with:
- Over $100 million paid out to traders (each)
- Years of reliable operations
- Actual capital, real infrastructure, and strong communities
They’ve earned credibility in one of the toughest arenas. Now they’re bringing that same experience to futures—without the fluff, gimmicks, or constant discount spam.
Why It’s Good for Futures Traders
1. They Raise the Standard
These firms aren’t playing small. They’re launching with features many futures traders have been begging for:
- Uncapped payouts (FundedNext)
- 5-day payout eligibility (FundingTicks)
- One-time fees instead of monthly subscriptions (FundedNext)
- 90/10 splits and live funding paths (FundingTicks)
- Fast payout guarantees (FundedNext even offers a $1,000 bonus if they’re late)
If your current prop firm can’t match those features… well, that’s the point. Competition is a good thing.
2. Better Payouts, Fewer Headaches
FundedNext is gunning for TopStep’s territory with a model that rewards consistency and doesn’t punish your withdrawals with payout ceilings.
FundingTicks offers a budget-friendly plan like MyFundedFutures Starter, but with faster rewards and no fees after funding.
Bottom line: these models are designed to make earning feel possible—not like climbing Everest with a spoon.
3. More Real Choices
Before now, most traders cycled between the same handful of futures firms. With Forex giants entering the scene, we finally have:
- More account types
- Different rule sets
- New payout paths
- Actual innovation
It’s not about who’s “legit” anymore. It’s about who’s offering the better deal. And now, we’ve got options.
A Quick Look at the New Players

Final Thoughts: Why This Is a Win
Forex firms entering the futures prop space might have raised some eyebrows—but if you look at what FundedNext and FundingTicks are bringing to the table, it’s clear:
👉 They’re here to raise the bar.
👉 They have real money behind them.
👉 They’re forcing older firms to evolve.
Whether you’re just getting started or looking to scale, this shift is worth watching. For once, the influx of new prop firms actually benefits traders.
Let the prop firm arms race begin.
