Crypto Prop Firms

A firm that funds you to trade crypto with its capital instead of yours. You pay for an evaluation, hit a profit target without breaking the daily or overall loss limit, then trade a funded account and keep most of the profit — typically 80% to start, with some firms raising it to 90% or 100% as you scale. The evaluation fee is the only money you put at risk.

A $100,000 crypto account runs $129 to $570 across the firms we track, and the cheapest account of any size is $14.00. Check whether the fee is refunded with your first payout — some crypto firms do that, which changes the real cost a lot. Compare every price in the comparison tool.

There is no single winner, because the right firm depends on whether you want to trade on a real exchange like Bybit or on MT5-style CFDs, how much leverage you need, and how fast you want paid. Our 3 top picks each lead in a different situation, and the firm quiz matches you in a couple of minutes.

The established ones are, but crypto has seen more firms close than forex or futures, so check before you pay. Our payout tracker shows real on-chain withdrawals for the firms that pay through Rise, and closed firms are listed under prop firms that shut down. A long payout record matters more than a high headline split.

Some, not all. Firms that run on their own platform or on MT5 usually accept US traders, while firms built on an exchange follow that exchange’s country rules — Bybit, for example, is not available to US residents. Always read the restricted-country list on the firm’s review page, and see our picks for US traders.

Most start at 80%, and the higher figures you see advertised are usually a paid add-on or unlocked by scaling. A split only matters if the firm pays reliably, so weigh it against payout speed and the per-payout cap. See firms with the highest profit split.

MT5, followed by Match Trader, DXtrade and cTrader. Broker-style platforms give you crypto as CFDs next to forex and indices, while exchange-based firms put you on a demo account at Bybit or BloFin, or on their own exchange-style terminal, with real order-book prices.

It depends on the model. Firms that offer crypto as CFDs usually cap it at around 1:2 to 1:5. Firms that trade perpetual futures on an exchange let you set your own leverage, up to 1:100 or more on major pairs. Higher leverage makes the daily loss limit easier to hit, so size by the limit rather than the maximum.

Crypto trades 24/7, and most crypto prop firms let you trade and hold positions over the weekend. What to check is when the firm resets its daily loss limit, because a position held through the reset carries two sessions of movement against one day’s limit.

A crypto CFD tracks the price of a coin inside a broker-style platform, usually with low leverage and the same account you use for forex. A perpetual future is an exchange contract with no expiry date, a funding rate and much higher leverage. Prop firms built on perps give you exchange-grade order books and hundreds of pairs; CFD firms give you one account for every market. Read how crypto prop firms work for the full picture.

Static drawdown is fixed from your starting balance and never moves, so profit only adds room. Trailing drawdown follows your balance up and never comes back down, so a strong run followed by a pullback can breach it. With crypto’s volatility, static limits are noticeably more forgiving. Detail in drawdown types explained.

You will nearly always pay less with one. Every firm in our directory is currently running at least one offer, the best being 50% off — see current crypto deals.
