Bitfunded vs Crypto Fund Trader
Bitfunded and Crypto Fund Trader are not the same product at different prices. Below is every term each firm publishes, side by side, and the differences that decide which one suits a given trader.
The difference in two lines: Bitfunded is $1 cheaper at the entry tier ($39 against $40). Payout rails are not the same: Bitfunded pays USDT, Crypto Fund Trader pays BTC / USDT / USDC / Deel. Open Bitfunded
| Term | Bitfunded | Crypto Fund Trader |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest evaluation | $39 | $40 |
| Size at that price | $5,000 | $5,000 |
| 25k fee | $124 | $240 |
| Profit split | 80% | 80% |
| Drawdown (25k) | 3%, 3% daily (1-Step Express) | Maximum overall loss 10% - fixed at 10% of the initial balance, maximum daily loss 5% (Evaluation) |
| Profit target (25k) | 9% (1-Step Express) | 8% (Phase 1) then 5% (Phase 2) (Evaluation) |
| KYC | Before payout | Before payout |
| Payout rail | USDT | BTC / USDT / USDC / Deel |
| Payout speed | Within 24 hours of the profit split day | On demand after the first payout |
| Leverage | 1:100 | 1:100 |
| Allocation ceiling | $150,000 USDT | $300,000 |
| Instruments | 100+ crypto pairs plus 20 TradFi pairs, both tradable on the challenge accounts; traditional pairs carry a 5-day holding limit | 540+ crypto pairs, 39 forex pairs, indices, commodities and stocks |
Each drawdown above is the rule of the plan its own $25k fee buys. The rest of the ladder at that size: Bitfunded: 2-Step at $249 (10% of room) and 1-Step at $299 (6% of room); Crypto Fund Trader: Accelerated at $219 (6% of room).
Which is cheaper, size by size
Crypto Fund Trader is cheaper at 2 of the 3 sizes where both publish a price. Comparing the entry tier alone hides that: fee ladders do not scale at the same rate, so the cheaper start can become the dearer account.
| Account size | Bitfunded | Crypto Fund Trader | Cheaper |
|---|---|---|---|
| $25k | $124 | $240 | Bitfunded |
| $50k | $399 | $389 | Crypto Fund Trader |
| $100k | $799 | $660 | Crypto Fund Trader |
What the fee buys, and what it takes back
Put differently, the difference is 0.9 more of the cheapest evaluation. The fee is also only the entry cost: at the headline split, Bitfunded has to make $155 of profit before the attempt has paid for itself, and $300 at Crypto Fund Trader.
| Measure | Bitfunded | Crypto Fund Trader |
|---|---|---|
| Fee for a $25k attempt | $124 | $240 |
| Fee per $1,000 of account | $4.96 | $9.60 |
| Profit needed to win the fee back at the headline split | $155 | $300 |
| Account destroyed on a bad day (drawdown in dollars) | $750 (3%) | $2,500 (10%) |
| Drawdown type | Static | Static |
Cost per $1,000, the break-even profit and the cost of 1% of drawdown are our arithmetic from each firm's published fee, split and limit; each drawdown figure is the firm's own percentage for the plan that fee buys, applied to a $25,000 balance.
The rule that ends most attempts
At $25k there is $1,750 more room at Crypto Fund Trader ($2,500 against $750), which is 7.0 percentage points of the account.
Getting the money out
Bitfunded pays USDT, Crypto Fund Trader pays BTC / USDT / USDC / Deel. Timing is not the same either: Within 24 hours of the profit split day against On demand after the first payout.
Worth checking against your own cash-flow: a fast rail that pays into an account you then have to move is not the same as one that lands where you spend it.
Where they actually differ
- at $25k the target is 9% (1-Step Express) for Bitfunded, 8% then 5% (Evaluation) for Crypto Fund Trader.
- how far each one scales, Bitfunded: $150,000 USDT; Crypto Fund Trader: $300,000.
- the Crypto Fund Trader fee is $24.00 per 1% of drawdown at $25k, from $240 over a 10% limit (Evaluation); Bitfunded works out at $41.33 from $124 over a 3% limit (1-Step Express).
The decision rule
If the first attempt is a test rather than a plan, Bitfunded at $39 costs less to be wrong about.
Which one, and for whom
Choose Bitfunded if Traders who mostly trade coins but want a few traditional pairs on the same account, and who value coin coverage over leverage
Choose Crypto Fund Trader if Traders who want a two-step evaluation with no time limit and are happy with an 80% split.
