Breakout
United Stateswww.breakoutprop.com
Breakout is a U.S.-based, crypto-native proprietary trading firm that has operated since 2023 and was acquired by Kraken in September 2025. The firm provides a proprietary trading environment designed around centralized-exchange liquidity and has evolved into a dedicated crypto trading platform with additional markets such as the S&P 500, silver, and WTI crude oil. Breakout offers three 1-Step evaluations: Turbo uses a 9% profit target and 3% static drawdown, Standard uses a 10% profit target and 6% static drawdown, and Pro uses a 12% profit target and 5% static drawdown, with account sizes ranging from $5,000 to $200,000 (Turbo and Pro) or $5,000 to $100,000 (Standard). All three carry a 3% daily loss limit and automatically upgrade to funded status when the target is reached. The firm's biggest strengths are its simple one-step structure, no minimum trading days, no consistency rule, 24/7 on-demand payouts, 80% standard profit split with a 90% upgrade, no payout cycles, and crypto-native infrastructure. Breakout also allows weekend holding and provides up to $200,000 in combined funded capital. The main limitations are the firm's strict rules against third-party evaluation strategies, copied trading ideas, cross-account arbitrage, and account sharing. Breakout also has a relatively concentrated platform environment because new accounts now use the proprietary Breakout Terminal rather than third-party terminals. Best suited for crypto traders who want a simple 1-Step evaluation, no minimum trading days, no consistency requirement, 24/7 payouts, and a proprietary crypto-native trading environment.

Trust & Safety
Breakout has operated since 2023 and was acquired by Kraken in September 2025. The acquisition brought Breakout into the Kraken ecosystem and provided additional institutional infrastructure and market connectivity. Breakout reported having issued more than 20,000 funded accounts before the acquisition. The firm has also developed a proprietary trading terminal and mobile application, replacing DXtrade for new accounts from July 2026 onward. The new system is built and controlled by Breakout rather than relying on a third-party terminal.
- Legal entity
- Breakout Trading Group, LLC (registered in Delaware, USA) operates the Breakout Evaluations and the simulated evaluation environment. Traders who pass an evaluation become eligible to enter a separate Funded Trader Agreement with Payward Oceanic, Ltd. (a British Virgin Islands limited company, part of the Kraken/Payward group), which provides access to funded accounts; the two entities are legally separate.
- Regulated
- No
Breakout is unregulated, as is standard for the evaluation-based prop trading category; it does not claim to be a licensed financial broker or exchange. Balances during the evaluation are simulated, and Breakout does not take custody of trader funds. Per its own disclosures, Payward Oceanic Ltd. may book a funded order internally as a hypothetical result rather than routing it to a market maker or exchange, at its discretion.
Breakout is particularly strong from a structural perspective because its current program removes many restrictions common among crypto prop firms: there are no consistency rules, no minimum trading days, no time limits, no payout cycles, and no general news restriction. At the same time, its prohibited-strategy framework is strict and gives the company substantial discretion in determining whether a trading approach violates its rules.
Trading carries risk. Evaluation programs like this one involve simulated accounts and non-refundable fees; review the firm’s current terms directly before purchasing. This page is informational and not financial advice.
