At least 34 new prop firms launched in 2026 and were selling accounts as of 6 November 2026. Eighteen sell forex and CFD-style accounts. The other 16 are futures firms, crypto firms, firms built for one country, and one that funds prediction-market trading. On the same date, five more sites from this year's group were down.
We got the count by testing dates. A firm can say anything about when it started, so we pulled the public registration date of every firm domain we track and then opened each 2026 site. We count a firm as new when its domain dates from 2026 and we found no sign of earlier trading under another name. We count it as selling when it lists prices and its sign-up or checkout path responded. We did not buy any accounts. This is general information about the market. It is not a recommendation of any firm.
How 72 new domains became 34 firms
Of 658 tracked firm domains with a public creation date, 72 were registered in 2026. Fewer than half turned out to be new firms selling accounts. A registration date is where the checking starts, because old names get bought again and old firms move address.
| What we found on the 72 domains | Domains |
|---|---|
| New firm selling accounts | 34 |
| New firm, site down on 6 November | 5 |
| Brand folded into another site, by its own notice | 1 |
| Pre-launch or sold out: checkout closed or waitlist only | 4 |
| Site up, but sales could not be confirmed | 1 |
| Visits recorded before the registration date, so the name is older | 9 |
| Site or company record points to an earlier start or brand | 9 |
| For sale, parked or a different business, with no sign of a firm | 5 |
| No firm page to read | 2 |
| Tools or tournaments, not funding | 2 |

The nine with earlier visits are the warning. Visits to xhedgers.com run from April to September 2026, yet the domain shows a registration date of 11 October, and it now lands on an expired-domain sales listing. A name that lapses can be bought by anyone, so a link in an old review may no longer lead to the firm it describes.
Year on year, firm domains registered rose from 30 in 2021 to 51, 91, 145 and 157 in 2025. The 72 for 2026 covers ten months, and new firms can take months to surface, so it does not show a slowdown.
Forex and CFD: still the default
Eighteen of the 34 sell forex and CFD-style accounts, the familiar product. They differ on who runs the terminal and how little you pay to start. Across all 34, at least 18 sell an instant route with no evaluation, and at least five run a terminal of their own: Cobra Terminal, FireTrader, Nexus Pro, Investabl and MyFundedPerps.
| Firm | Domain registered | What it sells |
|---|---|---|
| Funded Up | 2 Jan | Three-phase and instant accounts, synthetic indices only |
| Verodus | 28 Jan | Four models on Platform 5 or TradeHub |
| CMC Funded | 5 Feb | Two routes on Match-Trader, from $99. Says it runs in conjunction with CMC Markets but is not owned by it |
| FirewoodFunded | 21 Feb | Instant, 1-step and 2-step on FireTrader. A $1,000 instant lists at $20. Cites FirewoodFX brokerage experience |
| VFunded | 5 Mar | Four routes on Match-Trader, including a 3-step |
| Fundifys | 6 Mar | Five products on MT5 and MT4 |
| PropHelix | 6 Mar | Six-stage climb to $1,000,000 for one $139 fee, on Match-Trader |
| Investabl | 18 Mar | 1-step on its own terminal, paid to a wallet |
| Propify | 18 Mar | Three evaluation models on MT5 |
| NexusXfund | 31 Mar | French-language firm with its own Nexus Pro terminal |
| DojoTraders | 15 Apr | Six products across CFDs, futures, crypto and equities |
| Capital Mint Markets | 19 Apr | Six products on Platform 5 and Match-Trader |
| FundedCobra | 19 Apr | Instant accounts from $18 on Cobra Terminal |

| Goken Trader | 12 Jun | 1-step, 2-step and instant on TradeLocker |
| LevaFX | 18 Jul | Two phases on gold and forex, paid in stablecoins |
All dates 2026. Terms read on firm sites between 17 October and 6 November 2026; prices move with sales, and several firms were running Black Friday codes. Linked names go to Prop Firm Pal profiles.
Futures: no daily limit is the pitch
Seven new firms sell futures as their main product, and four of them state no daily loss limit: Miltraders, Lvlup Futures, Shark Futures and Certa Futures. That removes one way to fail. The overall drawdown limit still applies. 18th Street Trading goes the other way, with four evaluation phases on one fee.
| Firm | Domain registered | What it sells |
|---|---|---|
| Miltraders | 6 Jan | One evaluation or instant, on CME futures. Daily limit: none |
| Lvlup Futures | 23 Jan | One-time or monthly fee, on Tickblaze and Volumetrica. Daily limit: none |
| Shark Futures | 4 Feb | Evaluations and instant, up to 90% split. Daily limit: none |
| Speedup Trader | 16 Feb | Monthly subscriptions, futures or forex, with a daily limit |
| NPFuture | 9 Apr | Brazil-focused, futures on BlackArrow or forex on MT5. Formerly on naiprop.com as NPFunded |
| 18th Street Trading | 21 Jul | Four evaluation phases, one fee, $265 at $25,000 |
| Certa Futures | 24 Jul | 1-day evaluation, $73 at $25,000. Daily limit: none |
Terms read between 17 October and 6 November 2026.
Crypto, rupees and prediction markets
The most distinctive launches left the usual products behind. Three firms sell crypto or on-chain accounts. Five target one country or region, and three of those price in rupees on Indian markets. One funds simulated prediction-market trading.
| Firm | Domain registered | What it sells |
|---|---|---|
| DojiFunded | 15 Mar | On-chain accounts on Arbitrum, 2-step from $10 |
| TrueFund | 27 Jul | $15 to start, the rest due after you pass. Crypto and forex, one login |
| MyFundedPerps | 24 Aug | 1-step on crypto perpetuals, on its own terminal |
| Burmese Funded Trader | 24 Mar | Myanmar and Asia, on MT5. A $5,000 2-step lists at $39 |
| Ayronn Funding | 14 Apr | India-first, UPI payments. A $5,000 1-step lists at $56 |
| Bharath Funded Trader | 21 Apr | NIFTY, BANKNIFTY and SENSEX, priced in rupees |
| FundedWealth | 31 May | NSE and BSE products, rewards paid by UPI, IMPS or NEFT |
| Hindustan Funded | 4 Jun | NSE, BSE and MCX, priced in rupees |
| Funding Predicts | 10 Apr | Simulated prediction markets on Polymarket listings |
Terms read between 17 October and 6 November 2026. Funded Up, in the first table, is also a specialist: it allows synthetic indices only.
Two specialists sit outside the count. Hyperstack, which reads a trader's own Hyperliquid wallet, showed its free tier as limit reached and every paid tier as sold out with a waitlist when read on 6 November. PickX, which funds sports bettors, uses the name IcemanFunded in its own legal text, and icemanfunded.com was registered in June 2025.
Who is getting the visits
One team took more than half. MyFundedPerps and Funding Predicts drew 326,170 of the 604,671 estimated visits the 34 firms received in September 2026, or 54%. MyFundedPerps cites the My Funded Futures track record on its homepage, and Funding Predicts says it is backed by the team at MyFundedFutures.
| Firm | Market | September visits |
|---|---|---|
| MyFundedPerps | Crypto perpetuals | 285,130 |
| FundedCobra | Forex and CFD | 132,210 |
| Funding Predicts | Prediction markets | 41,040 |
| Bharath Funded Trader | Indian indices | 33,890 |
| Shark Futures | Futures | 31,160 |
| Hindustan Funded | Indian markets | 30,930 |
| Investabl | Forex and CFD | 26,110 |
| Miltraders | Futures | 10,780 |

The rest of the group is small. Only 12 of the 34 reached 1,000 estimated visits in September, and 19 show no estimate at all, partly because some registered their domains only weeks earlier.
The largest September debut sits outside the table. EZE Funded went from 5,760 estimated visits in August to 325,140 in September on a domain registered on 19 July. Its about page says the company was incorporated in Saint Lucia in 2025, and its homepage markets "EZE 2.0", so we did not count it as a 2026 launch.
Launches a domain date misses
The test finds new domains, so it misses firms that launched on older ones, which is why 34 is a floor. Solo Clash gives 8 January 2026 as its public launch on a domain registered in August 2025, and says it sold its first thousand accounts a month later. Clickfunded says it was founded in 2026 on a domain first registered in 2014. Established firms also opened new arms: FTMO Futures was reported in beta on 31 August 2026.
Five sites were down on 6 November
Five firm sites from this year's group did not show a working firm site when we tested them more than once on 6 November 2026. That is a reading of a website on one day. We found no closure notice from any of the five, a site can come back, and a firm can keep trading elsewhere, so this does not show that any of them has closed. Dated closures are on our shutdown tracker.
| Firm | Domain registered | Latest visit estimate | Site on 6 November 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Funded Guru | 1 Jan | 4,310 in September | Redirects to a third-party rankings page |
| G Club Capital | 29 Jan | 7,930 in August | Host says "Application not found" |
| The Hyper Funding | 30 Jan | 9,790 in September | Main site "temporarily paused" by its host. Trader login still loads |
| Funded Roll | 10 Mar | 12,950 in September | "Temporarily paused" by its host |
| Beast Funding | 23 Jun | 6,020 in July | Default hosting page |
Visit figures are estimates from the Prop Firm Pal traffic index.
A dead address does not always mean a dead firm. NPFunded's old address, naiprop.com, is paused too, but npfunded.com forwards to NPFuture, which is selling and is counted above. The PropTen domain carries a notice saying the brand is discontinued because its programmes moved to pelliron.com.
Big claims, young domains
Check the proof a new firm offers against its age. A public ledger is the strongest evidence in this group, because you can test it without trusting the firm. Some firms show one. Others publish large totals you cannot test from outside.
| Firm and domain date | What it states | How you can check |
|---|---|---|
| FundedCobra, 19 Apr | $168,274 across 975 payouts | Listed payouts link to Tronscan. We opened two: both showed the stated amount in USDT |
| LevaFX, 18 Jul | "We do not have years of payout history, thousands of funded traders, or a long Trustpilot record" | Says it publishes each withdrawal with a blockchain hash |
| Investabl, 18 Mar | More than 500 payouts sent | Shows wallet-settled payouts on BSC |
| Miltraders, 6 Jan | $16,820 across 14 payouts in November, as of 6 Nov | Dashboard feed on the site, not independently checkable |
| Fundifys, 6 Mar | 27,500+ active traders and $15M+ paid | No ledger found on its homepage |
Firm claims as shown on their sites on 6 November 2026. Their accuracy has not been established by Prop Weekly.
A young domain does not disprove a large number, since a business can move address or trade under an earlier name. It does mean the firm should be able to explain it. Company records are another check. Companies House shows FundedCobra Ltd incorporated on 17 September 2026 and LevaFX Ltd on 22 July 2026.
How to date a new firm yourself
The checks behind this report are free and open to anyone.
- Look up the domain on ICANN Lookup and note the creation date.
- Compare that date with what the firm claims. If it reports years of payouts on a months-old domain, ask where it traded before.
- Find the company number in the terms, look it up on the registry of that country, and check that the name and status match.
- Look for payouts you can trace. A transaction link beats a total on a banner.
- Read the rules page before the sale banner.
A first-year firm has no long record, whatever its pitch says. Our AT Funded one-year report shows what a firm looked like at that mark, and the firm directory lists the coverage we hold. Treat any challenge fee as money you could lose.
