Crypto Funded Traders: What the Rewards Really Mean

Passing an evaluation makes a trader eligible to receive a reward as a crypto funded trader. However, this doesn't guarantee one gets paid, and identity verification comes before either.

The mechanism itself is where most guides on this topic go vague. It's actually quite straightforward: evaluation firms sell traders a shot at proving a strategy on demo capital, with a path to a performance-based reward if they pass and stay inside the rules.

Formats trade speed against structure: more phases mean smaller targets per stage, fewer phases mean one harder hurdle. A two-phase structure is the most common shape: two profit targets in sequence, usually a larger one first and a smaller one second, before a live-style final stage opens up.

Crypto Fund Trader, a Bybit-partnered evaluation firm, runs six formats with exact numbers named instead of marketing language. For example, the 2-Phase format has a profit target of 8%, then 5%, and an overall loss limit of 10%.
