Best Crypto Prop Firms Compared: Features, Rules and Profit Splits

Press Release

The prop trading space was historically built for forex traders. Many other products that came later, such as crypto trading, were merely bolted-on afterthoughts. But that isn’t the case any longer because, as one estimate shows, at least 31 prop firms as of this writing list crypto as a fully-featured tradable asset. That is a significant jump from just a few years ago.

The expansion has, however, created so many options, and it is not unlikely to find some firms whose objectives don’t align with traders. Trader funding, in itself, is great because it allows a lot more talented individuals to make something out of their skill. But it becomes an issue when that experience doesn’t live up to expectations. That is why it is imperative for traders to choose a firm that suits them.

With that in mind, this article evaluated many of the available options with the goal of surfacing options that traders might find helpful. And because “supports crypto” can mean such different things depending on which firm you ask, this ranking measures eight of the leading names in the space against a specific lineup of features, which are based entirely on what each firm publishes on its own official site.

Methodology

We wanted to be sure that all firms in our list go beyond just supporting crypto. That claim alone gives you countless options and a lot of them might not be the firm you need. For that reason, we listed 10 features and ensured that each firm ticks at least five boxes. The firm ranked at the top ticks all the boxes. These features are:

  • Payout speed
  • Consistency of rules across plans
  • Drawdown model
  • Leverage
  • Crypto instrument availability
  • Supported platforms
  • Account pricing
  • Payout methods
  • Transparency
  • Trust signals

We pulled every figure in this article directly from each firm’s official website as of publication. We make this clarification because prop firm pricing and rules change often, sometimes without much notice, so you should confirm current terms directly with the firm before committing to any firm.

Conclusion

Choosing a prop firm for crypto trading involves lots of looking and evaluating. And as this ranking shows, a firm that just says it supports crypto isn’t giving you enough to work with. If anything, the clearest take-home here is that you may know what you want, but that can’t be enough to help you choose the right prop firm. That’s until you read articles like this one, whose methodology you can use to weigh the available options against what you actually need.
