Crypto traders already thrive on leaderboards, challenges, and public P&L flexing. Prop models formalize that culture.
Binance, Bybit, and OKX may quickly launch acquisitions or in-house prop programs. Coinbase, bound by its conservative U.S. stance, is unlikely to move first.
Kraken has taken a decisive step to expand its
footprint in active trading by acquiring Breakout, a crypto-native proprietary
trading firm. The deal marks the first time a top-tier exchange has integrated
a “prop trading arm” directly into its ecosystem, potentially signaling a new
wave of gamified trading products in crypto.
What Breakout Brings
Breakout operates a familiar model for traders in
forex and futures: participants pay a fee to enter a challenge or evaluation
phase. If they meet profit targets without breaching drawdown limits, they
unlock access to a funded account, in Breakout’s case, with up to $200,000 in
notional capital. Traders keep the majority of profits, with splits reaching as
high as 90%.

Importantly, no deposit is required. The only
upfront cost is the evaluation fee, making it a low-barrier entry point for
ambitious traders who want to scale their strategies without risking personal
capital.
Prop trading has existed in crypto before, but usually
in the form of independent firms running outside exchange ecosystems. By
acquiring Breakout, Kraken is the first major global exchange to bring this
model in-house.
Seamless integration: Breakout will be rolled into
Kraken Pro, making funded trading just a click away for existing users.
Institutional polish: Kraken’s reputation for
compliance and transparency could professionalize a niche often criticized for
being too reliant on evaluation fees.
Strategic positioning: Following its earlier acquisition of NinjaTrader, Kraken is clearly building a comprehensive suite
for active traders, including tools, markets, and now capital access.
A Cultural Fit for Crypto
On the surface, prop trading looks like a TradFi
import. But in many ways, it fits crypto’s DNA even better.
Crypto traders are already immersed in a culture of
leaderboards, challenges, and public P&L flexing. Prop models add a
structured version of that same culture: hit the targets, prove your skill, and
climb the rankings.
The structure also mirrors the concept of a “freeroll”
in online poker. Traders pay a fixed fee to enter the challenge, but once
funded, they are effectively trading with the “house’s money.” Their downside
is capped at the entry fee, while their upside is tied to performance.
That
asymmetric payoff profile is highly appealing to the typical retail crypto
trader, who values both risk control and big-upside potential.
Beyond Crypto: Tokenized Assets on the Horizon
The timing of Kraken’s move is notable. As tokenized
stocks, bonds, and real-world assets begin to migrate on-chain, the range of
instruments available for prop programs will only expand.
BREAKING: Wall Street is officially onchain. xStocks are now live on Kraken ❎
60 U.S. equities tokenized and tradable 24/5. More coming soon.
Imagine traders competing for funded accounts in Bitcoin or Ethereum and prop trading tokenized shares of Apple, Tesla,
or an S&P 500 basket, all within the same crypto-native environment.
If Breakout’s model proves successful under Kraken, it
could serve as a blueprint for the next generation of trading platforms: one
where crypto, tokenized equities, and other digital assets converge, and where
skill-based access to capital replaces the traditional reliance on personal
deposits.
In this context, Kraken is not just buying a prop
firm. It is positioning itself at the intersection of gamified trading and the
coming wave of tokenized markets.
Regulatory scrutiny: Prop firms have faced criticism
in other markets for over-relying on evaluation fees. Kraken will need to
demonstrate that Breakout delivers meaningful funded trading opportunities and
payouts.
Execution model: Traders will want clarity on whether
funded accounts represent live trading on Kraken’s order books, or simulated
environments with internal risk controls. Transparency here will be critical to
trust.
User education: Many retail crypto traders are new to
prop-style programs. Kraken will need to make the model accessible without
oversimplifying the risks.
Will Others Follow?
If successful, Kraken’s move could normalize prop
trading across the industry. Competitors like Binance, Bybit, and OKX, already
vying for trader engagement through gamified campaigns and copy-trading, may be
quick to follow with acquisitions or in-house prop programs. Coinbase, with its
more conservative U.S. regulatory stance, is less likely to move first.
For now, Kraken has planted a flag. In an industry
obsessed with gamification, capital access, and performance-based status,
Breakout gives the exchange a compelling new way to attract and retain
ambitious traders.
Kraken’s acquisition of Breakout is more than a
product expansion. It is a signal that prop trading could become a mainstream
fixture in crypto, much like it has in forex.
By blending skill-based
progression, gamified incentives, and capped-risk freeroll dynamics, Kraken is
tapping directly into the ethos of the modern crypto trader.
As more assets, from crypto tokens to blue-chip equities, come on-chain, the potential of prop trading widens even further. In the near future, traders may be able to compete for funded accounts not just in Bitcoin but also in tokenized stocks and beyond.

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
