On November 3, 2026, Coinhub Funded launched a crypto-focused proprietary trading firm offering funded accounts of up to $200,000 and 30-minute tournaments. The model relies on a pre-funding evaluation, a profit split and USDT payouts. This analysis reviews the offer, its conditions and the open questions that remain at launch.
🔑 Key Takeaways
- Coinhub Funded offers funded accounts of up to $200,000, accessible after a one-step or two-step evaluation.
- Challenges start at $75; instant funding is listed from $125.
- Traders keep 80% of profits by default, and up to 90% with the dedicated option.
- 30-minute tournaments on $100,000 simulated accounts distribute USDT rewards.
- No trading volume, account count or user feedback has been published so far.
A Prop Firm Model Applied to Crypto
A proprietary trading firm (prop firm) provides capital to traders who have proven their skills, rather than asking them to risk their own savings. According to the company’s presentation, traders must first pass an evaluation; once it is completed, the firm allocates account capital and profits are shared. Coinhub Funded describes itself as a “crypto-native” company built around digital assets, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and the main altcoins among the markets offered.
The offer covers more than 28 cryptocurrency pairs, alongside forex, indices, metals and commodities, all accessible from a single account. The launch releases describe continuous trading during market days, while the company’s sales page says crypto can be traded all week, from the Sunday open to the Friday close.
Coinhub Funded is an extension of the Coinhub brand, which has operated since 2019 a network of more than 2,000 Bitcoin ATMs across more than 25 US states, an online exchange and a self-custody wallet. The Coinhub name and logo are used under an intellectual property licensing agreement. The release also notes that traders can buy crypto with cash at Coinhub machines to pay for a challenge or a tournament entry.
Evaluations, Funded Accounts and Profit Split
There are two routes to trading capital. The first is a one-step or two-step challenge with no time limit, based on simulated capital and published rules. No identity check is required before the evaluation is passed. The second is an account funded the same day through the instant funding offer. The table below summarizes the available figures.
| Offer | Starting price | Key condition |
|---|---|---|
| One-step or two-step challenge | $75 | No time limit, simulated capital |
| Instant funding | $125 | Account funded the same day |
| Standard profit split | 80/20 | Option raising the trader share to 90% |
Challenge fees can be paid in cash, by debit card or in crypto. According to the release, fees are refunded with the third payout on accounts stemming from a one-step or two-step evaluation. The company’s website words it slightly differently, saying fees are refundable after the third payout.
Payout Terms
- A payout can be requested every 14 days.
- According to the releases, payouts are sent in USDT on Ethereum, Tron or BNB Smart Chain, within one to three business days.
- The sales page also mentions receiving payouts “in cash or in USDT”, a wording absent from the launch releases.
“Traders have used the Coinhub name to buy and sell crypto since 2019, and now they can use it to get funding. There is no countdown on the evaluation, and you get paid in USDT. And with tournaments, anyone can take a seat at the Tokyo, London or New York open and test their skills against other traders for a USDT reward.”

30-Minute Tournaments: Format and Rewards
Tournaments are a separate competition from evaluations and funded accounts, and they have no effect on those accounts. Nine 30-minute sessions are offered each weekday, on $100,000 simulated accounts. Three sessions are held at each market open:
- Tokyo at 00:00 UTC;
- London at 8:00 a.m. local time;
- New York at 9:30 a.m. Eastern time.
Each session runs at three tiers: free, $25 and $100. Entry fees for paid tiers are settled in USDT, and 90% of those fees form the reward pool, distributed in USDT to the top participants. The winner of the free tournament receives 25 USDT. Every participant in a free tournament also receives a 20% code applicable to a challenge.
Rewards are paid only after identity verification. The contests are open to adults residing outside restricted jurisdictions, which notably exclude Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, New York, South Carolina, Tennessee and Washington State.
Caveats: Promotional Context and Missing Data
Several elements call for caution. Coinpost365 states that its article is sponsored and should be treated as promotional content; it was originally published by The Daily Hodl. Decrypt, for its part, presents its text as a Chainwire article. The sources do not disclose opening volume, account numbers, deposit amounts or user feedback.
- Launch date: Decrypt and the Coinpost365 lede point to November 3, 2026, while one sentence in the Coinpost365 text refers to November 2, 2026. The documents do not resolve the discrepancy.
- Payout methods: the releases describe only USDT, whereas the company website also mentions cash.
- Hours: “continuously during market days” in the releases, versus Sunday-to-Friday availability on the website.
- Fee refunds: the wording differs slightly between the release and the sales page.
The profit-split model deserves close reading: traders receive only a fraction of the gains generated, and the loss rules applying to both simulated and funded accounts must be understood in detail. Those rules are not reproduced in the retained sources and therefore cannot be verified here.
Outlook and Scenarios
Coinhub Funded fits a broader trend in which proprietary trading firms specialize in digital assets. The company leans on a brand already known to US consumers and on a physical network of machines. The appeal of the offer lies in combining fast access to capital, stablecoin payouts and short competitions, but its real value will depend on data not yet available: trading volume, the share of traders who pass the evaluation and the actual payout delays.
In the base case, the offer remains a niche, with activity limited to users already familiar with the brand. In a more favorable scenario, publishing verifiable statistics on payouts and pass rates would strengthen the model’s credibility. Conversely, payout delays, disputes over rule enforcement or tighter regulation could slow its growth. Close monitoring of the data the company publishes remains essential.
