Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 27th, 2025, FinanceWire

XFunded, a Dubai-based proprietary trading firm, is redefining the prop trading landscape by placing traders at the forefront of its operations. Founded on June 2, 2024, by a team of seasoned traders with extensive experience in the prop firm sector, XFunded has rapidly emerged as a trusted platform for traders worldwide.

A Foundation Built by Traders, for Traders

The inception of XFunded stems from the founders’ firsthand experiences navigating the challenges within the prop trading industry. Prior to establishing XFunded, the team successfully funded over $25 million in prop firm accounts between April and November 2023, collaborating with major firms such as FTMO, The Funded Trader, and True Forex Funds. This deep-rooted experience has been instrumental in shaping XFunded’s trader-centric approach.

Transparent and Sustainable Trading Environment

In an industry often marked by opaque practices and sudden policy shifts, XFunded distinguishes itself through:

• Clear and Consistent Rules — including prohibitions on trading during major economic announcements and restrictions on weekend positions to reduce gap risk.
• Daily Drawdown Reset — implemented at 4 AM Paris time, giving traders a fresh start each day.
• Profit Distribution Integrity — ensuring no single trade accounts for more than 45% of a trader’s payout to promote sustainability.

Diverse Challenge Models for Different Trading Styles

XFunded gives traders three ways to get capital, depending on how fast they want to start and how they like to trade:

• 1-Phase Challenge – A faster route with just one evaluation step. It’s built for traders who want to get funded quickly and are ready to go live after a short track record.
• 2-Phase Challenge – A slower, more affordable option with no time limits and two clear targets (8% and 5%). It’s ideal for traders who prefer a bit more breathing room.
• Instant Funding – Skip the challenge altogether and start trading a live account right away. Same rules, same payouts.

Rapid Growth and Global Adoption

Since launch, XFunded has reached key milestones:

• Over 18,000 challenges sold
• More than 3,000 active monthly traders
• Over $1.2 million paid out
• Clients in 50+ countries
• Platform support on MT5 and cTrader

Leadership Rooted in Real Trading Success

At the helm is 22-year-old French entrepreneur Raphaël Peña, also known as Meta Raph. Before launching XFunded, Peña gained recognition by passing challenges and managing prop accounts, eventually withdrawing over $350,000 from top firms.

“Running a prop firm is about vision and priorities. I’m not here to flex on Instagram. I want to build a real ecosystem for traders,” said Peña, Founder and CEO of XFunded.

He reinvested $220,000 of personal capital into building XFunded, focusing on liquidity, regulation, and execution, without relying on external investors.

Commitment to Trader Empowerment

Peña adds, “We’re lucky as traders to have access to capital so easily today.” This philosophy underpins XFunded’s mission: eliminate unnecessary obstacles, keep rules transparent, and empower traders with real, scalable capital.
