How can we help?
Answers to the most common questions about challenges, rules, payouts, and everything in between.
Getting started
Click "Start Challenge" in the top right corner. Provide your email, create a password, and verify your email address. Once verified, you can purchase a challenge in just a few minutes.
Yes - Coinhub Funded is the only prop firm in the world that pays in physical cash. When you request a payout, you can choose between USDT to your wallet or cash redemption at select cash-enabled Coinhub ATM locations across 25+ US states.
At select cash-enabled Coinhub ATM locations across 25+ US states. The Coinhub ATM network has 2,000+ kiosks, but not all are cash-out capable - your dashboard will show you the nearest cash-enabled location when you request a cash payout. Find general ATM locations at coinhubatm.com/locations. Once your payout is approved, you'll receive a QR code in your dashboard - scan it at the kiosk to dispense your payout in physical US dollars.
No. Cash payouts are completely free - there is no fee to collect your cash. Once your payout is approved, you simply scan the QR code in your dashboard at a cash-enabled Coinhub ATM and collect your cash in physical US dollars. USDT payouts also have no service fee (you only pay standard network/gas fees on the blockchain you select).
Cash payouts are typically ready for collection within 24 hours of approval. You'll get a notification with your QR code as soon as your payout is funded at the ATM network. Cash availability is subject to ATM capacity at your chosen location - larger payouts may need to be split across visits or routed to a higher-capacity location.
Single-transaction limits vary by ATM location and applicable regulations. Payouts larger than the single-transaction limit can be split across multiple withdrawals or routed to higher-capacity ATMs. Your dashboard will show available redemption options when you request a payout.
For purchases, no KYC is required - you can buy a challenge anonymously with crypto or in cash at a Coinhub ATM. Identity verification is only required before your first payout: a government-issued ID and a selfie. The process typically completes in under 24 hours.
Coinhub Funded is available globally, except in restricted jurisdictions where local regulations prevent us from offering services. See our restricted countries list for the full list. Cash payments at Coinhub ATMs are available in 25+ U.S. states -
You can own multiple challenge accounts. Once a challenge is passed, the corresponding funded account is tied to your identity. You may operate multiple funded accounts as long as each was earned through its own challenge - copy trading or signal sharing between your own funded accounts is not allowed.
You must be at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) to participate.
Challenges & evaluation
Most traders start with 2-Step Professional: lower drawdown thresholds (4% daily, 8% overall), a more measured two-phase structure, and prices from $74. 1-Step Accelerated is faster but tighter (3% daily, 6% overall) - pick it if you trade consistently with disciplined risk. If you would rather skip the evaluation altogether, see Instant Funding.
Instant Funding lets you skip the evaluation entirely. You purchase a funded account directly and start trading immediately, with no profit target to hit first. In exchange, Instant accounts carry stricter risk rules: a 4% maximum drawdown, a 2.5% daily loss limit, and a 70/30 profit split. Available in $5K ($125), $10K ($225), and $25K ($399) sizes.
The 1-Step and 2-Step challenges are evaluations - you prove your skill against a profit target before getting funded, and they offer up to a 90% split with looser drawdown limits. Instant Funding skips the evaluation but uses tighter risk limits (4% max drawdown, 2.5% daily loss) and a 70/30 split. Choose Instant if you want to start trading funded capital right away without an evaluation phase.
2-Step Professional: $5K, $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K, $200K. 1-Step Accelerated: $10K, $25K, $50K, $100K. See the Challenges page for current pricing on each.
No. Take as long as you need. There's a minimum of 5 profitable trading days per phase, but no maximum time. Trade your strategy at your pace.
Yes. If you don't breach any drawdown rules but simply run out of momentum, you get one free retry. After that, you can purchase a new challenge anytime.
You'll complete identity verification, then your funded account is activated within 24 hours. From there, the same drawdown rules apply but there are no profit targets, no time limits, and you keep up to 90% of every payout.
Yes - your original challenge fee is refunded in full after your third successful payout. No conditions, no clawbacks.
They're just the names for our two evaluation tracks. Professional = 2 phases with looser drawdown limits. Accelerated = 1 phase with tighter drawdown limits. Pick what fits your style - both lead to the same 80% funded account.
Trading & rules
Forex (major, minor, and exotic pairs), Crypto (28+ pairs including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP), Indices (15 markets including US500, US100, GER40), Metals (XAU, XAG, XPT, XPD), and Commodities (oil and more).
Yes. Forex is live on Coinhub Funded with leverage up to 1:100 across major, minor, and exotic pairs. Forex trades 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, alongside crypto, indices, metals, and commodities.
Leverage is set per asset class: forex up to 1:100, metals and commodities up to 1:40, indices up to 1:20, and crypto up to 1:5. A 20% Leverage Boost add-on is available for purchase. Instant Funding accounts trade with no leverage. Otherwise the same leverage applies on both evaluation and funded accounts.
News trading is available as an optional add-on on 2-Step and 1-Step challenges. With the News Trading add-on enabled, you can trade through high-impact news events with no blackout windows. Instant accounts include news trading by default.
Only crypto positions can be held over the weekend. Because of our Flatten Friday rule, all forex, indices, metals, and commodities positions must be closed by Friday market close. Crypto trades 24/7, so crypto positions can stay open through the weekend.
No single trading day can account for more than 30% of your total profit. The rule prevents traders from hitting the target on one lucky day and rewards consistent performance over multiple sessions. See the Rules page for a full breakdown with examples.
Drawdown is calculated on equity (including unrealized P&L from open positions), not just realized P&L. Daily DD resets at 00:00 UTC. Max DD is static - it's always measured against your initial balance, regardless of how high your equity climbs.
Latency arbitrage, reverse arbitrage between accounts, tick scalping abuse, account sharing, copy trading between your own funded accounts, and any abuse of pricing errors or platform exploits. Standard quantitative and discretionary trading is fully welcome.
Payments & pricing
Three ways: cash at any Coinhub ATM (2,000+ locations across 25+ states), card (Visa or Mastercard debit/credit), or crypto (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC). Coinhub Funded is the only prop firm where you can fund a challenge in physical cash.
2-Step and 1-Step challenges support three optional, stackable add-ons at checkout:
- News Trading - trade through high-impact news events
- Leverage Boost - increase your leverage by 20% across all instruments
- 90/10 Profit Split - keep 90% of profits instead of the standard 80%
Each add-on increases the challenge fee, and they stack. The updated total price is shown live the moment you select an add-on on the Challenges page.
No. The News Trading, Leverage Boost, and 90/10 Split add-ons are available on 2-Step and 1-Step evaluation challenges only. Instant funded accounts ship with fixed terms (70/30 split, no leverage).
At any of 2,000+ Coinhub ATM locations across 25+ U.S. states.
BTC, ETH, USDT (ERC-20, TRC-20, BEP-20), and USDC. Other major cryptocurrencies may be supported on a case-by-case basis through customer support.
Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards from issuers worldwide. American Express, Discover, and other regional networks are not currently supported.
Yes - your full challenge fee is refunded after your third successful payout on a funded account. There's no refund on the purchase itself (the challenge is what we're selling), but the fee is fully recoverable once you become a successful funded trader.
The fee covers infrastructure costs (data feeds, platform licensing, compliance) and acts as skin-in-the-game that filters serious traders from tire-kickers. Once you prove your edge through three successful payouts, you get every dollar back.
Payouts
After your funded account has completed its minimum trading period and you've generated profit. Submit a payout request from your trader dashboard at any time after that.
You request a payout from your dashboard, specify your USDT wallet address and network, and our compliance team reviews against rule compliance. Approved payouts are sent directly to your wallet in USDT.

Yes - payouts are taxable income in most jurisdictions. We do not provide tax advice. Consult a qualified tax professional in your country to understand your obligations.
Funded account
No more profit targets, no more time limits, no more phases. The same daily and overall drawdown rules carry over. You keep up to 90% of profits on every payout, indefinitely. After three successful payouts, your challenge fee is refunded.
Your funded account can scale up to double its original funded size. For example, a $200K account can grow to $400K. Hit the scaling targets with consistent, rule-compliant trading and your account size increases over time. See the Rules page for the full tier breakdown.
Yes - if you breach a drawdown rule or break any of the forbidden trading practices on the funded account, the account is closed. To get back to a funded account, you purchase a new challenge and pass again. Your challenge history doesn't affect your eligibility.
Yes, as long as each was earned through its own separate challenge. Copy trading or signal sharing between your own funded accounts is not allowed.
The drawdown rules are the same (4%/8% on 2-Step, 3%/6% on 1-Step). Profit targets and time limits no longer apply. The consistency rule applies on each payout request.
Account management
Click "Forgot password" on the login screen. Enter your email address and we'll send you a reset link. The link expires after one hour for security.
You can update your USDT wallet address from your trader dashboard at any time. For security, changes take effect after a 24-hour holding period.
Contact customer support with your account email. We'll process the closure within 5 business days. If you have an active funded account with a balance, any unpaid profit will be sent out before closure.
If we detect a potential rule violation, your account is temporarily suspended pending review. We'll contact you with details. If the suspension is upheld, the account is closed. If it's released, your account is restored to full status with no penalty.
Technical
Our dedicated mobile apps for iOS and Android are coming soon. Until then, you can trade from any modern mobile browser through our web platform - the full trading experience works on phone and tablet.
All trading is done on our proprietary Coinhub Funded platform. We don't offer third-party platforms or API access - every trader uses the same consistent environment so rules and execution stay uniform.
We use institutional-grade liquidity providers with no re-quotes. Slippage during high-volatility events is normal and not grounds for any rule exemption.
