Trade Crypto With Prop Firm Capital: BTC, ETH and More, 24/7

OctoFunded Trading DeskUpdated ยท 9 min read
To trade crypto with prop firm capital, you pay a one-time fee for an account on simulated capital, trade BTC, ETH and other coins inside fixed loss limits, and receive a share of approved simulated profit. At OctoFunded the Perpetuals 24/7 market stays open on weekends, lists 1:25 leverage, pays a 90% split and starts at $159.
This page is written for people who already trade crypto on their own. You know funding, liquidations and Sunday wicks. What you want to know is what changes when the capital is a prop firm's and not yours. Short answer: your downside, your rulebook and your hours. If the model itself is new to you, start with what a prop firm is.
Below is every price and every limit, in dollars.
Key takeaways
- Weekends are trading days: the Perpetuals market does not shut on Friday night.
- BTC and ETH are on every crypto route we offer: Perpetuals, Classic CFDs (BTCUSD, ETHUSD) and Futures quarterlies.
- Leverage is 1:25 on Perpetuals, 1:10 on Futures and 1:100 on Classic, per the plan data.
- Your risk is capped at the fee. A breach closes the account; it does not create a debt.
- 90% split on every Perpetuals program, with the fee refunded on the first payout of the 1-Step and the 2-Step.
What changes when you trade crypto on prop firm capital?
Three things change: what you can lose, which rules you follow and who funds the size.
On your own exchange account, the size you trade is the money you deposited, and a liquidation is your loss. On a crypto funded account, the size is simulated capital that we set, and the most you can ever lose is the fee you paid for the account. If you breach a limit, the account ends. You do not top up margin, and you do not owe anything.
In exchange, you accept a rulebook. Every account has a daily loss limit and a max loss in dollars, and the evaluation programs have a profit target. That is the trade-off: a hard ceiling on your downside, for a hard ceiling on how badly a day can go.
The account trades on simulated capital. A payout is a reward paid under the program rules, not a withdrawal from a live trading account. If that distinction matters to you, read is a funded account real money.
Which crypto can you trade, and on which market?
You can trade BTC and ETH on all three OctoFunded markets, and the Perpetuals 24/7 market adds more crypto alongside US stocks, gold and oil.
| Market | Crypto you can trade | Hours | Leverage (plan data) | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Perpetuals 24/7 | BTC, ETH and more crypto, plus US stocks, gold and oil | 24/7, weekends included | 1:25 | 90% |
| Classic | BTCUSD and ETHUSD as CFDs, next to forex, metals and indices | Weekdays, with weekend holding allowed | 1:100 | 80%, upgradeable |
| Futures | BTC and ETH quarterly contracts, plus monthly index and commodity contracts | See the program rules | 1:10 | 90% |
For a crypto trader, Perpetuals is usually the natural home: the same contract type you already trade, and a calendar that matches crypto instead of the stock market. We cover that market rule by rule in Perpetuals 24/7 in full. If BTC is your main market, our Bitcoin prop firm guide compares the CFD and perpetual routes, and the Ethereum prop firm guide does the same for ETH. Prefer dated contracts? See OctoFunded Futures.
What does 1:25 leverage mean on a crypto funded account?
1:25 leverage means each dollar of margin can carry up to 25 dollars of position on the simulated account. It is the figure listed in the leverage field of every Perpetuals plan, from $2,000 to $1,500,000.
Leverage is the ceiling, not the plan. On a $100,000 Perpetuals account the daily loss limit is $3,000. A position that can lose $3,000 on a 3% BTC move is a full-day risk on one trade, whatever leverage allows. In practice your loss limits, not the leverage, decide your size. Our guide to risk per trade shows how to size against those numbers.

Want BTC and ETH as CFDs instead? The Classic 1-Step starts at $69 for $10,000 ($62.10 with OFF10), at an 80% split. That market keeps session hours, so it is not the weekend route.
The rules in dollars on a $100,000 Perpetuals account
Here is one size, $100,000, with every limit turned into dollars.

Compare that with your own account. With $100,000 of your own money on an exchange, a bad week can cost you the whole stack. Here, the worst case on the 2-Step is the $999 fee ($899.10 with OFF10). The $6,000 max loss closes the account; it never leaves your wallet.
A worked example: one weekend, one account
This example uses made-up simulated results. It is not a record of a real trader or a real payout.
You buy the $100,000 Perpetuals 2-Step for $899.10 with OFF10. On a Saturday, ETH breaks a range you have watched all week. You size the trade so the stop costs $1,000, a third of what the $4,000 daily limit allows. It works, and over the next weeks you reach $4,000 in phase one and $4,000 in phase two without touching the daily or max loss.
On the funded account you close $6,000 of simulated profit inside the rules. At a 90% split your share is $6,000 x 0.90 = $5,400, and the 2-Step fee is refunded with the first payout, subject to the program rules. The payout arrives in USDT or USDC, with a hash you can verify yourself.
The other version of the same weekend is just as possible: the breakout fails, you lose the $1,000, and later a run of losses reaches the $6,000 max loss. Then the account ends and your total cost is the $899.10 fee. That is the full downside, and you know it before you click buy.
Which program fits a crypto trader?
The right program is the one whose limits survive your worst normal week.
- 2-Step: the lowest price per size and the widest daily loss, 4%. Two 4% targets, no time limit. A good fit if you trade volatile coins and want room per day.
- 1-Step: one 6% target, one finish line, a 3% daily loss and an end-of-day trailing max loss. Slightly more than the 2-Step at the same size.
- Instant: no evaluation, 7% static max loss, 3% daily, payout on demand after 6 trading days. The most expensive at every size, with no fee refund. Our instant funded crypto account post goes deeper.
Weekend traders should also read weekend trading on Perpetuals, and anyone who has hit a limit before should read the daily loss limit guide. If you are comparing firms, use our crypto prop firm buyer's checklist.
