As a founding executive member of the TPA Members Council, Marcus contributes his operational insight and strategic guidance to help shape industry standards and ensure that the interests of high-integrity firms are reflected in TPA’s evolving framework for certification and dispute resolution.

Reflecting on Blueberry Funded’s decision to join TPA, Marcus shared:

“We’ve chosen to join the Prop Association because we believe the industry is at a critical inflection point. With increasing uncertainty around future regulation and diminishing trust among traders due to bad actors, it’s essential to proactively support a unified body that can represent firms and provide clarity, structure, and accountability. The association’s role as an external dispute resolution provider gives traders a fair and transparent avenue to have their concerns heard — something that’s been sorely lacking. We see this as a vital step in raising standards and ensuring the long-term stability and legitimacy of the prop trading space, which aligns with Blueberry Funded’s commitment to sustainability.”
