Pros and cons
Bybit
Pros
- ✓MT5 CFD offering with ~0.1 typical spread + ≈$3 RT equivalent — cost-competitive with ECN tiers despite crypto-first business
- ✓No fixed minimum deposit — practical entry at $10-20 USDT
- ✓Unified margin account across FX CFDs, crypto perpetuals, and spot — unique model in our list
Cons
- ✕FX CFDs are secondary product — Bybit core business is crypto derivatives, FX depth and liquidity differ from dedicated forex brokers
- ✕No FCA/ASIC/CySEC licence for FX products; regulatory cover is crypto-focused (VARA in Dubai, MiCA in the Netherlands)
- ✕Commission is % of notional on futures (0.02% maker / 0.055% taker) — we convert to ≈$3/lot RT for comparison, actual cost varies with trade size
- ✕Regional restrictions on sub-national level also apply: Crimea, Donetsk, Luhansk, Sevastopol, and Dubai are excluded regardless of country-level availability

- ✕FCA entity only for UK clients; non-UK retail routes to CySEC or offshore SCB
- ✕Inactivity fee $15/month after 6 months of inactivity
- ✕Does not accept US, Iran, or Canada residents (broker states other restrictions exist but does not enumerate)
