MyFundedFX Rebrands as SeacrestFunded

Proprietary trading platform MyFundedFX has rebranded to SeacrestFunded, aligning itself with its newly established sister brokerage, Seacrest Markets. The shift reflects a broader industry trend of prop firms affiliating with licensed brokers to bolster credibility. MyFunded Futures, the platform's futures-focused division, will retain its name for now.

A recent PipFarm survey cited by the company revealed that 60% of traders express greater trust in broker-backed prop platforms. Seacrest Markets, licensed by South Africa's FSCA in 2023, recently enabled non-U.S. clients to access MetaTrader 5 via its brokerage infrastructure. "This integration streamlines operations and enhances user experience," a company representative noted.

The move follows high-profile industry shifts, such as FTMO's acquisition of OANDA, underscoring prop firms' growing influence in traditional brokerage spaces. SeacrestFunded currently encourages prospective users to trial its services through demo accounts.
