Velotrade introduces new crypto funded trading platform offering up to $200000 capital, profit sharing model, and trader-focused rules built for 24/7 crypto markets.
Velotrade, a Hong Kong based financial firm, has launched a new funded trading platform for cryptocurrency traders. The company will provide trading capital and share the profit with the users based on performance. This platform enables traders to use huge accounts without having to risk their own money. Account sizes range from $5,000-$200,000 based on the program.
Velotrade Enters Crypto Prop Trading with Institutional Experience
The company said that the new platform is not its first business in financial markets. The founding team previously worked in institutional trading positions at JPMorgan and Dresdner Kleinwort.
They also developed Velotrade Management Limited, a fintech trade finance company which has been operating since 2016. That business has paid over $2.5 billion to clients all over the world.
The crypto trading platform is operated by a separate company of Hong Kong, Velotrade Re Limited, which was established in November 2025. The firm said its long experience in the capital markets helped it design a system made for professional trading.
Chief executive officer Gianluca Pizzituti said the company saw problems in current funding trading services. According to him, there are many platforms that are operated by people without deep trading experience. Due to this, rules often lead traders to fail, not due to real losses but because of technical reasons. He said the new platform is designed to address those problems.
Velotrade is a platform on which traders can use the capital from companies after an evaluation test. After being funded, traders retain a portion of the profits as the firm profits from successful trades. The company said this model pays to both sides only when trading results are positive.
Profit Sharing Model Designed to Reward Trader Success
Most funded trading firms earn revenue from challenge fees of users. When traders do not pass the test the firm retains the fee. Velotrade said its system is based on a different approach based on actual trading in the market. The company makes use of liquid bridges and AI-based hedging to replicate selected positions in the real markets.
Because of this structure, the firm makes a profit only when traders perform well. Management said this makes for fairer rules and better conditions for users. The company explained that it is about long term cooperation rather than short term fees.
The platform has two formats of evaluation for traders. The 2 step challenge offers more drawdown limit, 10% total loss and 5% daily loss are allowed. The 1 step challenge provides for quicker funding with tighter parameters of 7% total and 4% daily loss. These two programs are run on the DXtrade system.
Account rules are written in particular way for crypto trading rather than forex markets. The company eliminated rules on consistency, which penalize big winning days. Traders can also hold positions open during the weekends and trade during major news events. There is no time constraint for completing the evaluation stage.
Platform Focuses Only on Crypto with Leverage Up To 6x
Velotrade chose to focus on just trading cryptocurrencies instead of forex or stocks. The firm said crypto markets operate 24 hours every day, so rules need to be commensurate with that. Traders are able to trade a variety of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum with leverage up to 6x.
The company said it is possible to better control and determine the price by focusing on one asset class. Many prop firms began in forex and had later expanded their operations to crypto, which caused issues in rules design. Velotrade said its platform was made for crypto from the get-go.
The firm also said its previous business record has indicated good experience in financial technology. Reports about the company appeared in the Bloomberg, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Nasdaq.
Velotrade said that the funded trading market will increase as more traders will seek the support of capital. The company plans to add more features without making rules complicated. According to management, future trading platforms should integrate technology, reasonable control of risk, as well as the actual experience of the market.
