Pros
- Backed by Kraken, a major crypto exchange, since a September 2025 buyout
- Uses a static drawdown that stays fixed instead of trailing your equity
- Offers on demand payouts with no minimum holding period or fixed cycle
- Sets no minimum trading days, time limit, or consistency rule to pass
- Publishes a public payout leaderboard so claims can be checked by anyone
Cons
- Trades crypto only, so forex, stocks, and commodity traders cannot use it
- No financial regulator or license was found for the evaluation product
- Independent reviewers say the DXTrade based dashboard can lag or log out
- Evaluation fees are not refunded if a trader breaches a daily loss limit
- The higher 90 percent profit split only comes with an extra checkout fee
Breakout Prop began trading in November 2023 as a crypto only funded trader firm. Kraken, a major crypto exchange, bought the company in September 2025 through its parent Payward. Funded accounts now run through a Kraken unit called Payward Oceanic Ltd.
Traders pay a one time fee to attempt a profit target on an evaluation account, then trade Breakout's own money across 62 crypto markets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and the Nasdaq 100 index. Fees run from about $20 to over $1,000 depending on account size and plan, and the standard profit split is 80%, rising to 90% for an extra fee at checkout. Breakout is not a licensed broker or exchange, so no financial regulator currently oversees the evaluation product itself.
Breakout says it serves traders in more than 160 countries and blocks a short list of sanctioned nations. Some reviewers report its DXTrade based dashboard can lag, and payouts must clear a compliance check by Payward Oceanic Ltd before funds are sent.
