Perps Prop Firm Power Rankings October 2026
These Power Rankings feature the premier perpetual futures (perps) prop firms, ranked and shown side by side on the things that are different about perps: who passes through a real funding rate and who charges a fixed swap, how much leverage you get on NQ, BTC and everything else, which platforms you trade on, and, because most of these firms pay in USDC, how much they have actually paid out on-chain in the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. Those payout numbers are read straight from each firm’s public payout wallet, not from a press release. Each ranking is based on competitive and transparent pricing, trader-friendly rules, fast and reliable payouts, quality platform choices, and a reputation built on trust and consistent performance. If a firm isn’t listed, it simply didn’t make the cut. ✂️ – Jmu (@jmutrades)

Perps Power Rankings FAQ
What is a perps prop firm?
A perpetual futures (perps) prop firm funds you on a simulated account that tracks perpetual contracts: exchange-style crypto, index, stock and commodity contracts with no expiry, cross-margined in USDC, usually on the firm’s own web terminal. It is a different product from a futures prop firm (CME contracts on Tradovate or NinjaTrader) and from a forex or CFD prop firm (broker symbols on MT5).
What is the difference between a funding rate and a swap fee?
On a real perps venue, longs and shorts pay each other a funding rate every hour or every eight hours to keep the contract near spot, so holding a position can cost or earn money. Some perps prop firms pass that rate through (Vest, E8, Propr). Others replace it with a fixed daily swap charged on every open position, long or short (Breakout 0.033%, My Funded Perpetuals 0.03%, Tradeify 247 0.033%). The Overnight column shows which model each firm uses.
Where do the on-chain payout numbers come from?
Several perps firms pay traders in USDC from a public wallet or contract. PickAPropFirm watches those addresses directly on Ethereum, Base and Arbitrum and adds up the outbound transfers for the last 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days. The figure is what left the wallet, counted on the chain, refreshed about every 10 minutes. Firms that pay through Rise or a payment agent show Off-chain because there is no public wallet to read.
Why does Vest show withdrawals instead of payouts?
Vest’s prop payouts leave through the same contracts as every other Vest Exchange withdrawal, and the two cannot be separated on-chain. The Vest number is all USDC leaving those contracts, which is real money going to Vest users but is not only prop traders.
How are these firms ranked?
The same way as the futures Power Rankings: competitive and transparent pricing, trader-friendly rules, fast and reliable payouts, quality platform choices, and a reputation built on trust. For perps the payout score leans on the on-chain totals you see in the table, read from each firm’s public payout wallet. No firm can pay to rank, and I have no affiliate relationship that moves a firm up or down.
Can US traders use these firms?
Breakout, My Funded Perpetuals, Tradeify 247, E8 Markets and Vest all accept US traders on their perps programs (Tradeify 247 US accounts use DXtrade rather than MT5). Check each firm’s restricted country list before buying; it is in the compare box for every firm.
