OneFunded has been named the fastest-growing proprietary trading firm globally at the UF AWARDS Global 2026, held in June at the iFX Expo in Cyprus. The recognition comes as the firm reaches 25,000 active traders across more than 160 countries and has paid out over $800,000 to funded traders. The award underscores a strategic approach that prioritizes trader experience over aggressive marketing spend.

Unlike competitors relying on heavy promotional campaigns, OneFunded focused on transparent evaluation rules, achievable targets, and consistent payouts to build credibility in a crowded market. CEO Anastasiia Kaplunenko attributed the growth to trader retention rather than marketing volume, emphasizing that trust drives sustainable expansion. The firm’s operational stability is reflected in reliable withdrawals, a critical metric in an industry where execution often lags behind customer acquisition.

With the prop trading sector maturing, firms demonstrating transparent operations and fair conditions are gaining competitive advantage as traders increasingly demand accountability over promotional noise.
