FundedNext (fundednext.com), the Dubai-headquartered prop firm known for its aggressive growth strategy and competitive payout splits, has announced the launch of a dedicated Crypto Futures evaluation program. Starting April 1, 2026, traders can complete a standard two-phase challenge using Bitcoin (BTC/USD) and Ethereum (ETH/USD) perpetual contracts, with the same rules applying as the firm's existing forex and commodities tracks.
Program Structure
- Phase 1: 10% profit target, 5% max daily drawdown, 10% overall drawdown
- Phase 2: 5% profit target, same drawdown rules as Phase 1
- Funded stage: 90/10 profit split, up to $200K account size
- Available instruments: BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT perpetuals (no expiry)
- Leverage: Up to 10x on funded accounts (lower than forex offerings)
FundedNext's crypto futures track is one of the few prop programs to offer perpetual contracts without an expiry date — a significant advantage for strategy flexibility.
Why Crypto Futures, Why Now?
The timing is deliberate. Bitcoin has been trading above $90,000 for most of Q1 2026, and institutional interest in crypto derivatives has surged. FundedNext sees an opportunity to capture the large segment of retail traders who are comfortable with crypto volatility but want the structure and discipline of a funded account model rather than personal margin trading.
Risk Considerations
Crypto perpetuals are significantly more volatile than forex majors. Traders should expect tighter effective drawdown windows due to rapid price swings. The 10x leverage cap is a deliberate guardrail — FundedNext's risk team has clearly modeled the exposure profile of BTC/ETH traders at scale.
Adding crypto perpetuals is the right move at the right time. The question is whether the drawdown rules are tight enough to filter out gamblers from skilled crypto futures traders.

How to Access the New Track
The crypto futures track is available via FundedNext's standard challenge purchase flow. Select 'Crypto Futures' from the instrument dropdown during checkout. Existing FundedNext coupon codes apply to crypto futures challenges — check FundCoupon for the latest active discount codes before purchasing.
FundedNext has confirmed plans to add Solana (SOL) perpetuals to the program in Q3 2026, pending liquidity provider arrangements. This would make it one of the most comprehensive crypto prop programs in the market.
