Bitfunded

BitFunded is a crypto-native prop trading firm founded in 2023, billing itself as "the easiest place to get a funded account in crypto." The platform offers a fully simulated trading environment where traders can prove their risk management skills using simulated capital of up to $100,000 USDT (or up to $150,000 on the 1-Step plan) across 100+ cryptocurrencies and 20+ traditional finance (TradFi) instruments.

BitFunded's philosophy is built on simplicity and accessibility. The firm offers four distinct challenge formats — 2-Step, 1-Step, Instant, and Day Trader — catering to different trading styles and experience levels. All challenges feature unlimited trading periods with no time pressure, allowing traders to complete evaluations at their own pace. The platform uses a conservative 1:5 leverage across all instruments, encouraging disciplined risk management rather than high-risk speculation.

Traders who successfully pass the challenge advance to the Trader Stage, where they trade on live simulated accounts and earn real rewards based on their simulated performance. BitFunded operates on an 80/20 profit split (60% on the Instant plan), with payouts processed within 24 hours after reaching the Profit Split Day. The firm has built a community of 120,000+ traders and showcases successful payouts and a Top Trader Leaderboard to provide social proof of real trader success.

What makes BitFunded particularly accessible is its low entry cost — challenges start from just $79 for a $5,000 account — and its innovative Day Trader plan, which lets traders choose their own duration (1H, 2H, 4H, or 8H), entry fee ($50–$400), and payout boost multiplier (2X to 5X). This flexibility makes it one of the most customizable prop trading evaluations in the crypto space.
