⏱️ Prop Trading Just Got Faster — and U.S. Is Back
🇺🇸 This Week in Prop: 1-Minute Payouts & A US Comeback

The prop trading arms race just got a speed boost — and a surprise comeback.
While most traders are still waiting days for payouts (or fighting over rule enforcement), FundedHive just dropped a 1-minute payout guarantee backed by a $1,000 compensation clause. 🤔
Meanwhile, two of the biggest names in forex funding — FTMO and The5ers — have officially reentered the U.S. market after years on the sidelines. 🇺🇸
Let’s unpack what hit the desk 👇
📊 Prop Pulse
⚡ FundedHive Launches 1-Minute Payout — With a $1K Backup
The payout war just escalated.
FundedHive now offers the world’s first 1-minute guaranteed payout system.
They’re so confident in it, they’re putting $1,000 on the line. 🤑
If your payout takes more than a minute to process on their end (or is unfairly rejected for “trading-related” reasons), they’ll pay you out plus a grand in compensation.
🚨 The Prop Trading World Will Never Be the Same 🚨
After years of development, FundedHive is proud to launch the world’s first 1-Minute Payout Guarantee.
If your payout takes longer than one minute to process on FundedHive’s side or if it is ever rejected for trading-related

🇺🇸 FTMO and The5ers Reenter the U.S. Market
It finally happened: two funding giants are back on U.S. soil.
FTMO and The5ers, long known for avoiding the U.S. regulatory maze, have quietly reopened their doors to American traders — with confirmation from Prop Firm Match. 🤝
No major PR rollout, just a map, a flag, and the subtle signal that competition is heating up.
📢 @FTMO_com and @the5erstrading have reentered the US market.
This marks another significant milestone for the prop industry, as the two forex giants have long been inaccessible to US traders. Both firms are now offering their services to US traders.
