prop firms.

The next wave of prop trading. Firms that fund crypto perp traders on Hyperliquid, on-chain venues, or custom DEX-native platforms. Most review sites don't cover this. We do — because we trade here.

why crypto prop firms matter

Traditional prop firms (FTMO, Apex, Topstep) fund traders on forex or futures via centralized brokers. Crypto-native firms fund traders directly on DEXes like Hyperliquid — which means lower fees, no fiat KYC depending on jurisdiction, and faster scaling.

The trade-off: shorter track records. Most crypto prop firms launched in 2024-25. They haven't been through a full bear market with payout obligations yet. Treat them as higher-risk / higher-upside.

We cover them because nobody else does well. Forex-focused review sites either ignore them entirely or copy-paste marketing materials. Our scores are based on what we can actually verify on-chain and from community reports.
