Pros and cons
Bybit

- ✓No fixed minimum deposit — practical entry at $10-20 USDT

Cons
- ✕FX CFDs are secondary product — Bybit core business is crypto derivatives, FX depth and liquidity differ from dedicated forex brokers

- ✕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
