David Bily, founder and CEO of Moneta Markets today announced the launch of Moneta Funded (monetafunded.com), a broker-backed prop trading firm created to give traders a clear, rules-first pathway to earn performance-based payouts. Moneta Funded introduces four distinct challenge formats, including Instant Funding, One-Step, Two-Step, and the unique Phoenix Challenge, designed to suit different trading styles and experience levels.

A natural evolution for a broker built on trading infrastructure

Moneta Funded represents a natural evolution of Moneta Markets’ core business: building trading infrastructure, risk frameworks, and client support at scale. Moneta Funded is positioned to leverage the group’s experience and operational maturity, while operating as a dedicated prop division with its own team, processes, and trader experience.

“People have asked why now,” said David Bily, Founder and CEO of Moneta Markets and Moneta Funded. “The honest answer is we waited until we had the infrastructure to provide the best trading conditions, the technology was truly accessible, and we had the right people to build this properly. Prop is not something you can just bolt on to a brokerage. It requires a dedicated team, specific risk controls, and infrastructure you can stand behind. We have hand-picked the industry’s top talent from all corners of the globe and built Moneta Funded to be transparent, and focused on real trader outcomes, not gimmicks. With accessibility in mind, Moneta Funded makes it possible for traders to create sustainable earnings through payouts with significantly lower capital requirements than they’d typically require with a CFD brokerage.

“Being backed by Moneta Markets means Moneta Funded is built around institutional-grade trading technology which means lightning-fast execution powered by fiber optics to our Equinix execution hubs, and access to tier-1 liquidity providers for the best pricing and execution, with the goal of delivering a consistent experience for performance-driven traders. We also offer MetaTrader 5 and MatchTrader platforms, catering to a broader range of traders.

We built Moneta Funded to stand out from the rest with superior technology and infrastructure, straightforward challenges, and clear, transparent rules.”

Across all challenges, Moneta Funded emphasises clear objectives, visible limits, and a ruleset designed to reward discipline. Traders can choose from multiple account sizes and challenge types, with features such as no time limits and overnight/over-weekend holding allowed across challenges.

Key challenge highlights include:

• Up to 88% profit share
• Payout frequency every 14 days
• Multiple challenge formats - Instant Funding, One-Step, Two-Step, Phoenix
• Up to $2,000,000 in funding

Four paths to match how traders actually trade.

Moneta Funded’s programme suite is designed to be modular and trader-centric:

• Instant Funding: Funded from day one, with no time limit, and a ruleset that includes a 3% daily loss limit, 6% max loss (trailing lock), 20% consistency rule, 88% profit split, and 14-day payout frequency.
• One-Step Challenge: A single-phase evaluation with a 12% profit target, 3% daily loss, 6% max loss (static), minimum profitable days, and a funded stage offering 88% profit split with 14-day payouts.
• Two-Step Challenge: A two-phase evaluation (5% then 10% profit targets) with defined daily and max loss parameters, progressing to a funded stage with 88% profit split and 14-day payout frequency.
• Phoenix Challenge: A rules-driven, 10-tier path positioned around “trade without time”, with a 10% profit target for each level, an 88% profit split, payouts every 14 days, and up to $2,000,000 in funding.

Delivering value beyond the challenges - tools, trader, and partnership support

Moneta Funded also launches with an included resource suite, X-Tools, which includes AI Market Buzz (market insights across 35,000 tradable products), an Economic Calendar, and Featured Ideas based on pattern recognition. The firm also offers around the clock customer support and a range of educational resources that cater to traders of all levels. Offering one of the most lucrative affiliate programs on the market, Moneta Funded affiliates can earn commissions up to 22% on referrals as well as lifetime commissions, and receive free CellXpert access for marketing and performance data.

Branding and purpose-built sustainability

From a brand perspective, Moneta Funded is designed to clearly tie back to Moneta’s identity. The red and green colour language between both brands is intended to reflect the realities of trading - conviction and control, opportunity and risk, and the discipline required to perform over time.

Moneta Funded’s pricing and programme design have been developed with a sustainability-first mindset, aiming to create a prop business that can support genuine profitable traders with consistent operational processes. The objective is straightforward - build a well-funded, well-operated product with next-generation technology and clearly documented rules, so traders know where they stand and what is required for them to succeed.
