Crypto Prop Firms by Country: Who Accepts Your Country

By the PropRubric Research Team · Last verified: 23 October 2026 · Checked against each firm’s own terms

Most crypto prop firms accept traders from most countries, and the exceptions are specific. Of the 20 firms that publish a country list, 19 accept Nigeria, the country that searches most for crypto prop firms, 16 accept Pakistan and every one accepts South Africa, at PropRubric’s last check. Eight more firms publish no country list at all, which makes their access a question to ask in writing rather than a yes.

Country access at a crypto prop firm has four states, not two, and this page sets out all four, the access country by country, the five countries searched most, and the firms whose lists are missing. Check your country here before you choose a firm from the shortlist of best crypto prop firms.

The table counts the 20 firms that publish a country list, and the open column is 20 minus the firms that name the country, so a cap or a platform limit still counts as open. The 8 firms that publish no list are named at the end of this page, and each firm’s list and check date are in its review.

Which crypto prop firms accept traders from your country?

PropRubric checked the country lists of all 28 active crypto prop firms at its last check, and 20 publish a list that can be read country by country. Five results stand out among those 20 country lists.

1. Nigeria is named only by Propr, so 19 of 20 firms accept Nigerian traders on their published terms.
2. India and the United Kingdom are named only by Kraken Prop, whose programme excludes Canada, India and the UK.
3. Pakistan is named by E8 Markets, PropW and Propr, and by RebelsFunding’s partial list, and BrightFunded lets existing Pakistani accounts continue while closing new ones.
4. The United States is named by four firms, FTMO serves Americans only through its separate entity, FTMO US, and Mubite serves them only on Cleo.
5. South Africa is named by none of the 20.

A firm that publishes its list and its caps lets you check access before you pay, and E8 Markets publishes both, as the E8 Markets crypto trading page sets out.

What does “restricted country” mean at a crypto prop firm?

Two practical rules follow from that definition. The first practical rule is that a firm that does “not list” your country has not promised to accept it, because “not listed as restricted” is a weaker statement than “accepted”, and PropRubric’s tables keep the two apart.

The second rule is that the list applies when the firm checks your identity, which is before purchase at E8 Markets, at funding at The5ers and at the first payout at Goat Funded Trader. So a trader who passes and then fails KYC loses the fee as well as the account.

How does crypto prop firm access compare by country?

Crypto prop firm access compares on three axes with a different result for each. Nigeria and South Africa are almost fully open, Pakistan, Vietnam and Ethiopia are the most restricted of the countries searched most, and India, the UK and the US each depend on one or two specific firms. The five sections below cover the countries with the most searches, and India, the UK and the US have pages of their own.

Nigeria: Open at 19 of 20 Firms

Nigeria leads Google Trends for “crypto prop firm” over five years, and Propr is the only firm with a published list that names it. Nigerian traders can buy from the other 19 on their published terms, while the payout rail is the practical limit: USDT and USDC rails such as HyroTrader’s or Breakout’s avoid bank transfers, and Rise payouts depend on Rise’s own country list. Propr’s list names Nigeria beside Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries for its on-chain programme.

Pakistan: Closed at Three Firms, Closing at a Fourth

Pakistan is named by E8 Markets, PropW and Propr, and by RebelsFunding’s partial list, and BrightFunded lets existing Pakistani accounts continue while new ones are closed. A Forex Factory post of October 2025 says “Pakistan is on restricted list of countries on maximum prop firms”, which the crypto census does not bear out: 16 of the 20 published lists accept Pakistan.

The firms that do accept Pakistani traders include FTMO, The5ers and Funded Trader Markets among the multi-asset group, and Breakout and Velotrade among the crypto-first firms.

Kenya: Open Everywhere but AquaFunded

Kenya is named only by AquaFunded, and E8 One is capped at $200,000 for Kenyan traders. Kenya ranks third for “prop firm” searches on Google Trends over five years, behind Nigeria and Botswana, and 19 of 20 published lists accept it.

United Arab Emirates: Three Firms Say No, Including One Based There

The United Arab Emirates is named by E8 Markets, FundingPips and SizeProp. FundingPips gives its registered address as IFZA Business Park in Dubai while listing the UAE as restricted, and BrightFunded’s footer excludes UAE residents from MT5 while its other platforms remain. The UAE is also where several firms are incorporated, HyroTrader, Bitfunded, Fundedbit and Cointracts among them.

Singapore: One Ban, One Cap

Singapore is named by Goat Funded Trader, and AquaFunded limits Singaporean traders to Instant Funding accounts of up to $50,000. Nineteen of 20 published lists accept Singapore, 17 of them without a limit, because Mubite serves Singapore on Cleo only.

India, the UK and the US each depend on specific firms: Kraken Prop excludes India and the UK, and four firms exclude US residents while FTMO serves them through FTMO US and Mubite through Cleo. FTMO US and the other firms are compared on three country pages, one for each country, linked from its row in the table above.

How do you check whether a crypto prop firm accepts your country?

You check whether a crypto prop firm accepts your country by reading its list on the day you buy and asking about anything the list leaves out, and five checks cover it.

1. Read the firm’s country list on the day you buy. Lists change, and Mubite’s says “subject to updates”. Best on this list: E8 Markets, whose list and caps sit on one help page.
2. Check when KYC happens. Before purchase (E8 Markets), at funding (The5ers) or at the first payout (Goat Funded Trader). Best on this list: E8 Markets, where a failed check costs nothing.
3. Check the payout rail in your country. A USDT or USDC payout avoids bank limits; Rise has its own country list. Best on this list: firms with direct stablecoin payouts, such as HyroTrader.
4. Check nationality and residence clauses. FTMO accepts Iranian, Syrian and Myanmar nationals only with EEA residency and an EEA bank account. Best on this list: Velotrade, whose list is sanctions-only.
5. Ask for an answer in writing when no list is published. A support reply is a record if access is disputed later. Best on this list: any firm with a published list, which makes the question unnecessary.

The order of the countries above follows search demand, and the method behind every country cell is on the page about how PropRubric verifies crypto prop firm data. The firms above publish lists; the ones that don’t are worth knowing too, because eight firms, almost a third of the census, leave the question open.

Which crypto prop firms publish no country list?

Eight crypto prop firms in PropRubric’s census publish no country list that can be read country by country, and their terms use wording instead.

• TradeXProp serves “all countries, excluding OFAC listed countries… unless otherwise limited at the Company’s discretion”.
• Cointracts excludes “jurisdictions under FATF, EU or UN restrictions” and any where it “cannot legally operate”, in a footer list PropRubric could not capture.
• Klein Funding says its list is “maintained and updated regularly on our website”, and none was found on the site or in its terms.
• Crypto Fund Trader, Bitfunded, WenCrypto and Dolvero publish no country list on the pages PropRubric read.
• RebelsFunding publishes a partial country list: article 1.4 of its terms names nine restricted jurisdictions, Pakistan among them, “and other countries”, and its funded account follows “KYC/AML, sanctions and jurisdiction checks”.

For American traders, the firms that accept them and on what terms are compared on the page of crypto prop firms for US traders. The step at which each firm checks a trader’s country, and what a failed check costs, is a KYC question, and the check comes before purchase at E8 Markets, at funding at The5ers and at the first payout at Goat Funded Trader.
