PropFunded Review: Plans, Rules, and How It Compares

PropFunded

PropFunded is a crypto-focused proprietary trading firm operated by Prop Skills Tech Ltd (Reg. No. 01010909, RAK Digital Assets Oasis, United Arab Emirates). It sells one-time 1-Step and 2-Step evaluations alongside Instant Funded accounts that skip the evaluation entirely. All trading is simulated and runs on the Cleo white-label terminal, covering USDT perpetual futures plus gold, silver and oil. Funded accounts run up to $200,000 in simulated capital at 5x leverage with a 30% margin cap, and payouts are settled in USDT on Binance Smart Chain and TRON. The firm publishes no founding or incorporation date on its homepage, terms, privacy policy or FAQ, so we record that field as unknown rather than estimate it. PropFunded currently holds a PropFirmMap score of 4.8 out of 10 and a safety grade of C.

Plans and pricing

PropFunded runs three account routes. The 2-Step evaluation carries a 7% profit target in each phase, a 5% maximum daily loss and a 10% maximum total loss. The 1-Step evaluation replaces that with a single 10% profit target on a tighter risk envelope: 3% maximum daily loss and 6% maximum total loss. Both require a minimum of 3 profitable days and carry no time limit, so an evaluation does not expire. Instant Funded accounts have no profit target at all and instead run a 3% daily loss limit against a 5% total loss limit.

Instant Funded accounts are priced separately: $199 for the 2.5K account and $349 for the 5K account. Every fee is a one-time payment with no monthly charge after purchase, and challenge fees are non-refundable, including after a successful evaluation. Trading costs are a 0.0200% maker fee and a 0.0500% taker fee.

Rules that shape the account

Funded and Instant accounts use a 3% trailing drawdown alongside a 5% total drawdown. The trailing figure moves up as the account grows and never moves back down. The daily limit resets at UTC and counts floating profit and loss as well as fees, so an open losing position can breach the limit before it is closed.

News trading is allowed, though a strategy based solely on news events is prohibited. Positions may be held overnight and over weekends, and a stop loss is not required. Against that, hedging is not allowed, external API integrations are not allowed, and algorithmic trading through third-party bots is prohibited: automated systems detected on an Instant account cause immediate disqualification. Margin usage is capped at 30% of account equity, and exceeding it raises a soft flag and manual review, with profits potentially removed and repeated breaches closing the account. Any USDT perpetual futures pair is supported, but USDC pairs are not. If no trades are closed for 30 consecutive days the account is disabled. The platform is not available to users in Russia, Myanmar, Iran or North Korea.

Payouts

Payouts run on a 7-day cycle, with the next withdrawal window starting after each request. Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours, the minimum withdrawal is $50 and the withdrawal fee is $0. On evaluation-funded accounts, withdrawals unlock once account profit reaches at least 4% of the initial balance. Instant Funded accounts can request a first payout on day 1 once the account reaches $50 profit. KYC identity verification may be requested at any stage, including before a payout is processed. The firm publishes completed payout transaction hashes on a public withdrawals page, which reported 217 completed payouts and $240.1K paid all-time when we read it on 2026-08-20.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Payout transaction hashes are published on a public page, so completed withdrawals can be checked on-chain rather than taken on trust.
• Evaluations carry no time limit, no stop-loss requirement, and permit overnight and weekend holding.
• Instant Funded accounts remove the evaluation entirely and allow a first payout request on day 1 once $50 profit is reached.

Cons

• The standard 60% profit split sits below every other crypto firm we track, and reaching 80% requires publicly posting a withdrawal certificate.
• The homepage advertises "Trustpilot 4.8/5 Excellent" as plain unlinked text, while the live TrustPilot profile read 3.5 from 13 reviews and remained unclaimed when we checked it on 2026-08-25.
• Hedging, third-party bots and API integrations are all banned, margin is capped at 30% of equity, and leverage is limited to 5x.

How it compares

Measured against the crypto firms we already track in a similar fee range, PropFunded's differentiator is on-chain payout proof, and its weak point is the split.

Breakout scores 7.4 on our scale against PropFunded's 4.8, pairs an up to 90% split with on-demand payouts, and carries 1,012 TrustPilot reviews against PropFunded's 13. Carrot Funding and HyroTrader both start their splits at 80% and also settle on demand rather than on a 7-day cycle. PropFunded's fee ceiling of $1,599 is the highest of the four, which reflects its $200,000 Elite account: Breakout's range stops at $400. Where PropFunded does stand apart is verifiable settlement, since none of these three publishes completed payout transaction hashes for public inspection.

Verdict

PropFunded is a young, crypto-native firm with a genuinely unusual transparency feature: on-chain payout hashes that anyone can verify. That matters in a category where payout claims are usually unauditable. The trade-off is priced in plainly. A 60% standard split is below the crypto firms we track, the 80% alternative requires public promotion of your own withdrawal, and the review base is 13 reviews on an unclaimed profile, which is too thin to read as a track record either way.

It suits traders who want no evaluation deadline, weekend holding and USDT settlement, and who are willing to accept 5x leverage, a 30% margin cap and a manual discretionary review layer. Traders who rank profit split or an established review history first will find stronger numbers elsewhere in the same fee band. We record PropFunded's founding date as unknown because the firm does not publish one.

Figures in this review were read from PropFunded's homepage, FAQ, terms and withdrawals page, and from its TrustPilot profile, on 2026-08-20 and re-checked 2026-08-25.
