The proprietary trading space is crowded, but traders are increasingly separating the substance from the noise. At the UF AWARDS Global 2026, presented this June at the iFX Expo in Cyprus, the industry officially recognized that shift. OneFunded took home the award for the fastest-growing prop firm globally. This milestone highlights a company that has expanded its global footprint by focusing on trader experience rather than relying on heavy promotional spend.
Scale through concrete results
The numbers driving this recognition offer a clear view of OneFunded’s rapid market penetration. The prop trading firm now supports a community of over 25,000 active traders across more than 160 countries. More importantly, execution has kept pace with acquisition, with over $800,000 already paid out to funded traders worldwide. In an industry where credibility is earned through reliable withdrawals, these figures demonstrate operational stability and a sustainable business model.
An evaluation model traders want
Growth in the prop space often comes from aggressive marketing, but OneFunded took a different route. The firm built an evaluation model based on transparent rules, achievable targets, and real payouts. By stripping away hidden conditions and focusing on a platform that continuously evolves alongside its users, OneFunded created an environment that traders naturally gravitate toward. The award serves as formal industry confirmation of what the community already knew.
The foundation of trader trust
Anastasiia Kaplunenko, CEO of OneFunded, views the accolade as a testament to the community rather than just corporate success. "This award belongs to every trader who chose OneFunded and came back," she explains. "We didn't grow because we were the loudest; we grew because traders found what they were looking for and kept coming back. That's not luck. It's trust."
The next era of trading
As the market matures, retail and professional participants are actively seeking firms that treat them as peers rather than just clients. OneFunded’s trajectory shows that when a firm prioritizes clear rules and reliable payouts, rapid global expansion follows naturally.
