Where can you trade ETH at OctoFunded?
There are three markets, and they behave differently. The Classic market is the one that lists ETH by name, as a CFD. Perpetuals and Futures cover crypto in their own format. Check the instrument list on the account you pick before you buy, and read the full program rules for anything this page does not state.

Why do ETH traders look for a dedicated Ethereum prop firm?
Ask an ETH trader why they left their last prop firm and you tend to hear the same three things.
First, ETH was an afterthought. It sat at the bottom of a forex list, if it was there at all.
Second, the money side felt wrong. They hold ETH in a wallet, and the checkout wanted a card.
Third, ETH does not keep office hours. The move they had planned for happened on a Sunday, and their account was asleep.
Here, ETH is a Classic CFD, checkout takes ETH, and Perpetuals trade through the weekend. If you trade BTC as well, the Bitcoin prop firm guide covers the same two markets from the BTC side. For the wider picture on crypto checkout and on-chain payouts, start with the crypto prop firm guide.
Route 1: ETH as a CFD on the Classic market
This is the most direct way to trade ETH here. You get ETH and BTC next to forex, metals and indices on one account. News trading is allowed. Weekend holding is allowed, so an ETH swing trade does not have to be closed on Friday; read about weekend holding before you rely on it. There is no time limit on the evaluations, and EAs are allowed.

Route 2: crypto perpetuals on the 24/7 market
If your ETH thesis plays out at 3 a.m. on a Saturday, this is the market built for you. Perpetuals 24/7 covers crypto, US stocks, gold and oil, and it is open on weekends. Every Perpetuals program pays a 90% split, and the 1-Step and 2-Step have no minimum days and no time limit. The full breakdown lives in Perpetuals 24/7 in full, and weekend specifics are in weekend trading on Perpetuals.

| Perps 1-Step | 6%, one phase | 6% | 3% | 90% split | With the first payout |
| Perps 2-Step | 4% per phase, two phases | 6% | 4% | 90% split | With the first payout |

Route 3: dated crypto quarterlies on Futures
Some ETH traders think in expiries, not in perpetual positions. The Futures market lists dated crypto quarterlies plus monthly index and commodity contracts. It has two programs. Futures Instant has no evaluation, a 3% static max loss and a 2% daily limit, with payout on demand after 5 trading days. Futures 1-Step has a 6% target, a 4% max loss and a 3% daily limit, and refunds the fee with the first payout. Both pay a 90% split. Futures 1-Step starts at $640 for $25,000 and Futures Instant at $1,900 for $25,000 (prices checked 30 October 2026). The limits are tighter than on the other two markets, so read the Futures market guide before you choose it.
What does an ETH move mean against your loss limits?
ETH is volatile. That is the appeal, and it is also the most common way an ETH funded account ends early. Size from the limit, not from the chart. The figures below are illustrative arithmetic, not a forecast, and they say nothing about what any trader will make.
Take a $25,000 Classic 1-Step and a $25,000 Perps 1-Step. The Perps 1-Step has a 3% daily limit, which is $750.
| Illustrative ETH exposure (simulated) | ETH moves 3% against you | ETH moves 6% against you | Share of a $750 daily limit at 6% |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $150 | $300 | 40% |
| $10,000 | $300 | $600 | 80% |
| $15,000 | $450 | $900 | Over the limit |
The rule behind the table is simple: loss equals exposure times the move. A 6% ETH day is not rare, and on $15,000 of exposure it costs $900, more than the whole daily allowance. Two habits keep you inside the lines. Decide your risk per trade before you open anything, and learn exactly how your daily loss limit is measured on your program.
Which ETH funded account fits how you trade?
- You trade ETH on weekdays alongside forex or gold. Classic market. The $10,000 1-Step at $69 is the lowest entry, and the fee comes back with the first payout.
- You trade ETH whenever it moves, weekends included. Perpetuals 24/7. The 2-Step asks for 4% per phase; the 1-Step is a single 6% phase.
- You want to skip the evaluation. Classic Instant (100% split, first payout after 7 days then weekly, payouts 1 and 2 capped at 3%) or Perps Instant (90% split, on demand after 6 trading days). Neither refunds the fee. Compare them in no evaluation accounts.
- You trade dated contracts. Futures, with the tighter limits above.
- You are still finding your ETH sizing. Start small, and pick a program with a challenge fee refund.
How do you pay with ETH, and how are payouts sent?
Checkout accepts ETH, BTC, SOL, USDC and USDT on TRC20 or ERC20. Send from the wallet you already use; the steps are in paying with crypto, step by step. Enter OFF10 at checkout for 10% off every plan.
Payouts are sent in USDT or USDC on-chain, with a public transaction hash you can check yourself, subject to the program rules. They are not sent in ETH. That is a feature: the dollar figure you request is the dollar figure you receive, with no ETH price swing between request and arrival. If you are choosing a stablecoin, read USDC vs USDT payouts, and learn how to verify a payout transaction hash on a public explorer.
