Crypto→Prop Firm Directory

Every crypto prop firm worth taking seriously in 2026, in one place. The crypto prop firm space is the youngest of the three markets — most credible operators have launched within the past five years, and over 80 prop firms collapsed between 2024 and 2025 in a brutal shakeout. The four featured firms below represent the most established credibility paths: HyroTrader's real exchange execution, Crypto Fund Trader's three-year operating history, Breakout Prop's Kraken backing, and BrightFunded's fastest-payout reputation. The remaining four in the table beneath are legitimate operators with shorter standalone track records in crypto specifically. New this quarter: Bitfunded, a crypto-exclusive operator that earned a reputation as one of the few reliable specialist firms after the MyCryptoFunding collapse, and FTMO, which expanded its crypto product significantly in 2026 — though as a forex-primary operator with 1:2 crypto leverage, it sits in the directory with a context note rather than as a featured crypto-native firm.

The four to start with

Mandatory stop-loss within 5 minutes is the most consequential rule in any prop firm we track.

Swiss-registered under RLCRATES AG. Bybit partnership gives 715+ tradeable pairs — broadest crypto coverage in the space. MT5 support is rare among crypto props. Three-year operating history with $18M+ in verified payouts. Accepts US clients. $10,000 daily profit cap is the structural constraint.

★4.9 · 862 reviews

Tier-1 exchange backing makes Breakout the most institutionally credible crypto prop firm. Kraken acquisition (November 2024) gives regulatory credibility that no independent firm can match. One-step evaluation, on-demand USDC payouts, zero denied-payout reports. The tradeoff: leverage capped at 5x and only major altcoins supported — narrower than HyroTrader or CFT but designed for conservative US traders who prioritize compliance over flexibility.

✓ Kraken-backed regulatory credibility ✓ Best US-friendly option ✓ 1-step evaluation simplest path ✓ On-demand USDC payouts
! 5x leverage cap (lowest in space) ! Limited pair selection

All 8 crypto prop firms tracked

The crypto prop firm space is younger and has fewer credible operators than futures or forex. Eight firms are currently tracked. The four featured above represent the most established credibility paths. The remaining four — Bitfunded, Tradeify Crypto, FundedNext Crypto, and FTMO — are either smaller crypto-specialist operations with shorter standalone track records or established multi-asset firms where crypto is a secondary offering. Bitfunded is the only crypto-exclusive operator in this group and earned a reputation for reliable payouts during the MyCryptoFunding collapse documented below. FTMO is the largest and longest-operating firm in the entire prop space, but is forex-primary with capped crypto leverage — context below the table.

A note on FTMO: FTMO is the most established prop firm in the industry — $329M revenue and $62M net profit in 2024, the OANDA acquisition completed in December 2025, and the longest continuous operating history in the space. It expanded crypto coverage in 2026 with refined spread models. But FTMO is fundamentally a forex prop firm, and the crypto product reflects that: roughly 10 cryptocurrency CFDs, leverage capped at 1:2 on crypto specifically (vs 1:100 on forex), and no exchange execution or spot exposure. If you trade forex primarily and want occasional crypto access alongside it, FTMO is excellent. If crypto is your primary market, the four featured firms above are built for what you actually do.
A note on Bitfunded: Bitfunded has the smallest review base of any firm in this directory (~187 Trustpilot reviews vs HyroTrader's 1,400+). The reviews are mostly positive, but one credible reviewer documented a payout that was marked "Approved" but did not hit the blockchain (subsequently resolved per their March 2026 update). Bitfunded is included because it is one of very few crypto-exclusive operators with a real-time order-book execution model, static drawdown, and a public track record of paying customers since December 2023. For larger account sizes, start with the four featured firms. Bitfunded is here for traders who specifically want a crypto-exclusive operator with daily payouts and order-book execution.

Firms we don't recommend (and why)

The crypto prop firm space has grown rapidly and attracted both legitimate operators and outright scams. Over 80 prop firms collapsed between 2024 and 2025. Several "crypto prop firms" you may encounter on YouTube reviews or Telegram groups don't meet the inclusion criteria for this directory — and a few have actively defrauded traders. The active red flags below are worth knowing about specifically.

MyCryptoFunding (MCF / mycryptofunding.org) — extreme caution advised. Multiple traders have publicly posted Trustpilot reviews since late 2025 reporting approved-but-unpaid payouts, with claimed balances ranging from $1,400 to $8,900+. Trustpilot's own moderation system has removed fake positive reviews from the MCF profile (a notice Trustpilot displays publicly on the firm's page). Other traders in the broader crypto prop community have described similar experiences. We can't independently verify each individual complaint, but the pattern of approved-payout reports combined with documented fake-review removal is the same governance signal that preceded other firm collapses tracked in this directory. Traders considering MCF should verify recent payouts independently before committing capital.
Velotrade — institutional cosplay, no verifiable prop firm track record. Velotrade launched its crypto prop offering in early 2026 from Hong Kong, marketing an institutional founding team with backgrounds at JP Morgan, Bank of America, and Dresdner Kleinwort. The firm aggressively claims a "$2.5 billion payout" history and a 2016 founding date — but that volume and history belong to a separate invoice-factoring business that shares the Velotrade name. The prop trading division is an entirely separate 2026 startup with no independent payout track record at the scale implied. Borrowing legacy statistics from an unrelated business unit to imply prop firm stability is the same governance pattern we flag for fake-review removal: factually defensible if you read the footnotes, materially misleading if you don't. Velotrade may turn out to be a legitimate operator — the institutional pedigree is real — but the crypto prop firm itself needs a verifiable standalone payout track record before it earns inclusion. Recheck next quarter.
HydraFunding and WarBux — insufficient track record, no fee refund safety net. Both firms surfaced in 2025 with aggressive marketing and crypto-specific offerings. Neither has accumulated enough Trustpilot volume to verify payout reliability, and neither refunds the evaluation fee on first payout (the way HyroTrader does). In a space with an 80-firm collapse rate over the past 18 months, firms without operating history and without fee-refund mechanisms carry concentrated risk for traders. Recheck next quarter if either accumulates a verifiable payout track record.
DNA Funded — promising but unvetted at scale. DNA Funded has ASIC-regulated broker backing through its parent DNA Markets — a genuinely strong credibility signal that most newer firms lack. However, the Trustpilot review base is still small (60-90 reviews depending on source) with a polarized 3.4-3.9 rating, and the firm has been operating for less than 18 months. The infrastructure looks legitimate; the trader base is just too small to verify long-term payout reliability yet. Worth watching for inclusion in a future quarter.
FXIFY Crypto — better tracked in the forex directory. FXIFY offers a crypto product but is fundamentally a forex prop firm with crypto bolted on. The firm is legitimate (covered in our forex directory), but its crypto pair coverage and execution model are not competitive with crypto-specialist firms like HyroTrader or Bitfunded. Use FXIFY if you trade forex primarily and want occasional crypto access; choose a specialist if crypto is your primary market.
Funded Trading Plus (FT+) — better tracked in the forex directory. FT+ is a credible UK-registered operator with $19.5M+ in documented payouts, 60,000+ traders across 180 countries, and a 4.4/5 Trustpilot rating across 2,600+ reviews. But crypto leverage is capped at 1:2 — the same tell as FTMO and FXIFY. It's a forex firm with crypto bolted on, not a crypto-native operator. Use FT+ if you trade forex primarily; choose HyroTrader, Crypto Fund Trader, or Bitfunded if crypto is your primary market.

Other firms excluded from this directory:

  • Firms with under 12 months of verifiable payout history. Crypto prop firms can launch quickly and disappear faster. We require sustained payout volume before inclusion.
  • Firms with verified non-payment complaints. Crypto payouts in USDT/USDC are technically simple to execute — withheld payouts indicate liquidity or operational problems. MyCryptoFunding is the current active example.
  • Firms with synthetic execution and no exchange partnership. Pure CFD simulation with no path to verifying fills against a real order book is a credibility deficit. The four featured firms either route through real exchanges or partner with one.
  • Firms operating from unregulated jurisdictions without verifiable identity. Anonymous founders, no registered business entity, and no banking footprint are leading indicators of exit scam risk.
  • Firms whose Trustpilot has been flagged for fake review removal. Trustpilot publicly notes when it removes fake reviews. Multiple removals is a serious governance signal.

If a crypto prop firm you're considering isn't listed above, that's a signal worth taking seriously. The space is the youngest in prop trading, and the failure rate among newer entrants is high. The comparison tool will narrow these 8 to the 2–4 that actually fit how you trade.
