The proprietary trading platform Instant Funding has shifted its attention to DXtrade a few weeks after discontinuing its services to US traders. The company provided an update via Twitter, outlining the progress and upcoming milestones in the process for DXtrade migration.

After ceasing operations for US traders, Instant Funding has been preparing to introduce DXtrade, its latest trading platform. Despite encountering regulatory challenges, the company maintains that it is committed to providing seamless trading experiences for its users.

Instant Funding mentioned: "Right now, we’re testing trading across all instruments to be 100% confident in how trades are executed for you when we go live. We expect the technical part of DXtrade integration to be completed today."

Instant Funding's move followed a series of restrictions on services to US clients among proprietary trading firms, Finance Magnates reported. Purple Trading and Blackbull ceased offerings to proprietary trading firms.

ThinkMarkets' decision to discontinue services to US clients reflects a broader shift in the proprietary trading industry. While it continues operations outside the US, the move raised speculation about MetaQuotes' involvement.

Thus, Instant Funding promised US traders that it would introduce DXtrade as an alternative trading platform. This platform aims to cater to US traders and provide an alternative to global users. Despite anticipated challenges during the transition period, Instant Funding assured existing US traders that they would retain their accounts.
