Finding a prop firm with competitive crypto spreads

asked by u/lee_hannah · 17d · 2 answers

Been diving deeper into the crypto space lately, specifically looking at prop firms that offer capital for $BTC and $ETH pairs. I've found a few that seem decent, but the spreads can be a real killer, especially on larger positions or when scaling in and out. It feels like some of the pricing models are still very much in the early stages compared to what we're used to with traditional forex pairs like $EURUSD. Anyone have experience with prop firms that offer genuinely competitive spreads on crypto, or is this just something we have to accept for now? Curious about the backend tech/liquidity solutions these firms are using and if there's a significant difference between them.

    I've noticed the same, the crypto market for prop trading seems to have wider spreads across the board. It makes you wonder if it's due to underlying liquidity or just the firms baking in more risk premium given the volatility.

    Yeah, I've noticed that too. It makes me wonder if the volume just isn't there yet for these firms to offer tighter spreads, or if it's more about the operational costs of handling crypto.
