The first monthly payout report shows a median processing time of under five hours.
Trading data shows nearly half of profitable CFD traders lost more individual trades than they won.
Prop
trading firm FundedNext says it disbursed $15.19 million to 8,340 traders in
February, publishing what it described as the first in a recurring series of
monthly payout reports that it plans to release on a fixed schedule.
The firm
said the February total was spread across 13,712 individual transactions on
10,346 funded accounts. The gap between account count and trader count reflects
that some participants hold more than one funded account at the same time.
Since it
launched, the company claims cumulative payouts of more than $271.4 million
across 205,380 transactions, though that figure has not been independently
verified in full.
Processing Speed and
Payout Distribution
The company
said the median time between a trader requesting a payout and receiving it was
4 hours and 44 minutes in February. The mean was slightly higher at 5 hours and
8 minutes, which the firm attributed to a small number of longer reviews
pulling the average up. At the 90th percentile, payouts were completed in under
13 hours, and the company said 99.98% of February transactions cleared within
24 hours. One did not.
More than a
third of all payouts, 35.4%, according to the report, were processed in under
five minutes. The largest concentration fell in the six-to-twelve-hour window,
which the firm said reflects overnight batch processing.
FundedNext
is among the larger operations in the prop trading space by reported volume.
According to data compiled by Prop Firm
Match, the firm
ranked first among tracked platforms with annual payouts of approximately $108
million in 2025, out of roughly $325 million tracked across the industry - a
dataset that excluded major players including FTMO and The5ers.

Repeat Traders Drive a
Meaningful Share of Volume
One of the
more detailed sections of the report looks at how concentrated payout activity
is among long-term participants. The firm said 284 traders who have each
accumulated 25 or more lifetime payouts from FundedNext collectively received
$2.37 million in February, representing 15.8% of the month's total.
Syed Abdullah Jayed, CEO of FundedNext and FNmarkets
"That
is not a one-cycle relationship," the company said. Fifty-five traders
have now crossed 60 lifetime payouts and contributed $486,054 last month
combined.
The report
also flags a group it describes as particularly telling. "A real cohort of
traders is deep into their payout history," FundedNext said, "not
just getting paid once or twice, but building a sustained track record on the
platform."
Half of
February's paid accounts had received at least one prior payout from the
platform. Some 60% of accounts had been funded within the preceding 30 days,
while 14% had been active for more than 90 days, including 415 accounts that
have been live for more than six months and are still receiving payouts.
The trading
behavior section of the report separates CFD and Futures data, the firm said
combining them would distort the averages, given how differently the two
product types work.
CFD payout
recipients had a median win rate of 50.0% in February. For Futures traders,
that figure was 63.0%. What stands out is that 41% of paid CFD accounts had win
rates below 50%, meaning they lost more individual trades than they won and
still managed to qualify for a payout.

The time it
took traders to request their first withdrawal also differed sharply by
product. For Futures accounts, the median was 9 days from funding, and 64.5% of
Futures payout recipients submitted their first withdrawal request within 14
days. CFD traders operated on a much longer timeline - median of 28 days to
first request, with 18.3% taking 90 days or more.
FundedNext
is not the only firm publishing payout milestones as competition among prop
platforms intensifies. Czech firm Fintokei recently
reported $15 million in cumulative payouts as it marked three years of operations in
Japan. The company said it plans to release its payout data every month in the
same format. March figures, it said, will publish next month.
FundedNext's Position in a
Crowded Market
Geographically,
the MENA region has become central to the company's growth story. FundedNext
runs an office in Dubai, and CEO Syed Abdullah Jayed has publicly pointed to
the area as a key driver.
"When
you fly into Dubai, you see a different vibe, ads for brokerages
everywhere," Jayed said in a recent panel
during the iFX Expo Dubai. "Because of regulatory acceptance and emerging populations moving
to the UAE and the broader MENA region, the adoption and growth have been very
good."
The gap is
not unusual in this industry, and the reasons for it are well-documented. As
FinanceMagnates.com has reported
previously,
crypto-based outflows from prop firms can be tracked on-chain, but
distinguishing trader payouts from vendor payments, affiliate commissions, or
other outgoings is not straightforward - and firms control their own
definitions of what counts as a payout.
