Up to 100% profit split with instant payouts on the Sprint Challenge, six programs across 1-Step through Phoenix scaling to $2M, all backed by multi-regulated Moneta Markets. Less than a year old, but the credibility behind it is real.
Up to 100% profit split on the Sprint Challenge, 88% across the standard four programs (1-Step, 2-Step, Instant Funding, Phoenix). Sprint payouts are on-demand once the target is reached.
Backed by Moneta Markets, a multi-regulated parent broker (FCA UK, ASIC, FSCA SA, FSC Mauritius, FSA Seychelles), a rare real-broker backing in the prop-firm niche.
Trade-offs
Founded in July 2025, so the long-term track record on payout consistency simply does not exist yet. Strong early signal is not the same as a decade of clean payouts.
News-trading restrictions on 1-Step and 2-Step block opening, closing, AND holding positions in the 5-minute window around high-impact news. Phoenix and Instant let you hold but not open or close. Sprint blocks news outright.
The self-styled #1 crypto prop firm: 700-plus crypto pairs, Bybit integration, news allowed and fast payouts. Three years in, with a regulator warning and a suppressed Trustpilot score to weigh against it.
