GROS-ISLET, Saint Lucia — Drift Fund, the proprietary trading firm funding crypto and forex traders on a single balance, today announced the launch of spot funded accounts — the first funded-account program built for traders who buy and sell crypto outright rather than trading leveraged derivatives.
What was announced
Drift Fund's spot accounts let funded traders trade the firm's capital on cash crypto markets: no leverage, no funding rates, no liquidation engine. Positions are simply bought and sold, the way most of the world actually holds crypto.
The program runs on the same published rule set as the firm's futures accounts — a 10% profit target, 4% daily and 6% maximum loss limits, mandatory stop-losses, and a consistency requirement — with account sizes from $10,000 to $300,000 and profit splits of up to 100%.
Why it matters
Funded-account programs have historically offered only leveraged products, because leverage is where evaluation firms' economics are easiest. That excluded a large class of disciplined traders — swing and position traders whose edge does not involve 100× exposure.
"Spot traders were the most underserved group in this industry," the company said. "They manage risk with position size and patience instead of leverage, and no one would fund them. Now someone does."
Alongside, not instead
Spot accounts join Drift Fund's existing lineup rather than replacing it: web-based futures accounts with leverage up to 100×, and MetaTrader 5 accounts covering forex, metals, indices and crypto. Every account type pays out in cryptocurrency within 24 hours, and every completed payout is published with its blockchain transaction hash for public verification.
Availability
Spot funded accounts are available now at driftfund.io, with one-time challenge fees and no subscriptions.
Drift Fund is a brand of Drift Holding Ltd (Saint Lucia, Reg. No. 2026-00466). Accounts operate in a simulated environment used to evaluate trading skill; profit splits are performance-based rewards funded by the company.
