Let me be clear: CryptoTradeFunded isn’t a legit prop firm. It feels more like a straight-up scam, wrapped up in the kind of marketing that sounds professional—until you’re already paying.
I purchased a funded account because I assumed I was dealing with a serious company. That assumption didn’t last long. From the very beginning, I was misled, and not in some minor way either. They advertise **100:1 leverage**, but when I got set up on **MT5**, the leverage available was only **5:1**—a massive downgrade that completely changes how the account functions.
When I raised the issue, their “fix” was to purchase a migration to **Bybit** for an additional **$25**. I went ahead and paid it, thinking that would resolve things properly. It didn’t—and the bigger problem is what happened next.
They took my money knowing I’m Portuguese (so, a European trader) and, for me, the required **API setup simply cannot be completed** as part of that migration. They had my account details and my location from day one. Yet they still accepted the extra payment without any real attempt to confirm whether the service was actually deliverable for someone in my region.
After contacting support and confirming that the API “requirement” effectively doesn’t exist for me, I got an arrogant reply: **“You should have known when you bought it.”** Honestly, no. They’re the ones operating the platform—they control the process, the requirements, and the migration path. If Europeans can’t access what they’re selling, that’s on them. They charged for a service they knew they likely couldn’t provide.
This wasn’t an honest mistake. It was deception—charging for something they had every reason to know wouldn’t work for European clients like myself.
CryptoTradeFunded doesn’t deserve a single funded account. They’re unprofessional, unethical, and show absolutely no respect for traders’ money. Treating clients like this isn’t just poor business—it’s a red-flag disaster.
**Clear warning: Do not buy anything from this company.** Save yourself the time and money. I’ll never deal with them again, and I strongly advise everyone else to stay far away.
Honestly, **1 star is still too generous**.

I’ve worked with several different prop firms over the years, but this one has been the quickest to pay me. The process has been smooth so far, and I haven’t run into any issues yet. Overall, things are going pretty well.

This was my first time ever getting a payout from a prop firm via Crypto Fund Trader, and honestly it went really smooth. The whole process was also a bit faster than I expected—around 14 hours for the payout. I did use a VPN service as well, even though it isn’t explicitly forbidden, and I did get a warning from CFT. To me, that felt fair: they didn’t punish me right away, they just made it clear. Since then, I’ve tried to avoid using the VPN anymore.
Overall, it was a great experience, and I’m looking forward to receiving my full allocation. Also, their customer support impressed me. Responses are fast and the team is genuinely helpful.
I did run into a KYC issue at first, but they resolved it within 3 days (to be exact, it didn’t drag on for weeks like I’ve seen elsewhere). That was a big plus for me, because it made it feel like they’re not trying to “destroy” traders or find reasons to deny everything.
I’ll be honest—I had a really bad experience with other prop firms before this. That’s exactly why I’m writing this review. CFT actually treated me the way a prop firm should, and they deserve the credit.
