Binance futures copy trading is the largest copy programme in crypto by users. Hypercopy is a telegram bot that copies traders on hyperliquid, an on-chain perps exchange. Same idea, different ground rules. Numbers for binance come from binance's help pages at the time of writing; see binance's faq for current terms.

the money question
Binance's lead traders are paid twice: a share of the profits they make for followers (10% standard, higher with tier), and a slice of the trading fees their followers generate. Followers pay binance's own futures fees on top. On a winning month, the follower gives up a tenth or more of the gains; on a losing month, only the fees.
Hypercopy has no leaders to pay. The traders you copy are hyperliquid users whose fills are public; they never applied and are not compensated. You pay a flat 0.05% builder fee per order, plus hyperliquid's fee (0.045% taker at the base tier). On a winning month, you keep the gains minus a few tenths of a percent; on a losing month, you pay the same few tenths. See fees and pricing.
Which is cheaper depends on how good the month is. A 20% month costs 2%+ in profit share on binance and about 0.2 to 1% in per-order fees on hypercopy, depending on trade frequency. A flat month costs only fees on both.
custody and access
On binance, your margin is in binance's custody, copy trading requires identity verification, and binance decides which countries can use futures. On hyperliquid, your USDC is in an account your wallet controls; hypercopy trades it with an agent key that cannot withdraw, and there is no sign-up on either side. See is copy trading on hyperliquid safe.
who you can copy
Binance shows an approved roster with binance-computed ROI, drawdown and follower counts, and leaders are motivated to grow followers. Hypercopy's roster is hyperliquid's leaderboard filtered for size and human trading patterns; every number on a profile is computed from public fills. It is a smaller, unmarketed population. Some of the best traders on it have never heard of copy trading.
where binance wins
Fiat, one app for everything, deep liquidity on hundreds of pairs, a customer support organisation, and spot copy trading. If your capital already sits on binance and your jurisdiction allows futures, it is the frictionless option.
where hypercopy wins
You hold the keys, nobody checks your passport, the leaders' records are verifiable rather than reported, and nobody takes a share of your profits. And it works from a chat: every copied fill is a message.
faq

No. Hypercopy copies hyperliquid perps and spot only.
can i verify a binance lead trader's record on-chain?
No; binance is not on-chain. On hyperliquid, any address's fills are public.

Telegram is only the interface: hypercopy's servers hold an agent key that cannot withdraw. What matters is what the bot can do on your account, not where you talk to it. See security.
