Start here
A crypto prop firm funds your crypto trading after a paid evaluation. You trade BTC, ETH and altcoin pairs with the firm’s capital, hit a profit target without breaching the drawdown, and keep 70% to 90% of profits, usually paid in USDT or USDC. The catch: this category has more variance in what you are actually trading than any other we cover — some firms route orders to real exchanges, most simulate fills against a price feed.
Most crypto prop firms run crypto CFDs or simulated accounts priced from live data: your order never reaches an exchange. A smaller group executes on real venues or aggregated exchange liquidity. Both models can pay, but they differ in slippage, available pairs, funding rates and how the firm makes money. A firm that profits from your losses on a simulated book has a different incentive than one clearing real flow. Every review on this page states which model the firm runs.
| 1. Buy a challenge | One-time fees from roughly $45 to over $1,000 by account size. A few firms bill monthly |
| 2. Hit the profit target | Commonly 8% to 33% depending on the model. Anything above 20% in one phase is aggressive |
| 3. Stay inside the limits | Daily loss limits of 4% to 15% and max drawdowns of 8% to 25%. Trailing drawdowns exist here too |
| 4. Get funded | Splits run 70% to 90%. Payout cycles range from on-demand to bi-weekly, usually settled in stablecoins |
| 5. Watch the crypto-specific rules | Weekend trading is normally allowed since crypto never closes, but funding-rate handling, leverage caps and token gimmicks vary widely |
| Real execution or simulation? | Ask where your order goes. If the answer is vague, assume simulation |
| Payout evidence | A few firms in this category have blockchain-verified payout records via third-party trackers. Most have nothing |
| Trustpilot integrity | More than one crypto firm has had its Trustpilot rating removed or flagged for fake reviews. Check the live profile, not the number on the firm’s homepage |
| Leverage and pairs | 1:2 to 1:5 on majors is typical for real-execution firms. CFD-feed firms often offer more |
| Token or launchpad attached? | A firm running its own token sale alongside a funding product carries a different risk profile |
