Moneta Markets CEO Launches Moneta Funded, a Broker-Backed Prop Trading Brand

Moneta Funded, a new proprietary trading firm backed by regulated broker Moneta Markets, announced its launch on January 15, 2026. The firm aims to address challenges in traditional prop trading by offering traders access to firm capital through a structured evaluation process, reducing the need to risk personal savings.

Traders pay a fee to complete an evaluation challenge designed to assess profitability, risk management, and consistency. Those who pass receive funded accounts of up to $2,000,000, with a profit split of up to 88%. The firm promotes a realistic evaluation system, including the Phoenix challenge, which starts with a $2,500 account and can scale to $2 million by consistently hitting a 10% profit target with proper risk management.

Moneta Funded operates with infrastructure from Moneta Markets, a regulated global broker recognized by ADVFN International Financial Awards as best forex trading app and best low-cost broker in 2025. Unlike many prop firms that rely on external liquidity, Moneta Funded benefits from direct broker backing, providing cleaner execution and operational stability. The firm supports both MetaTrader 5 for international traders and Match-Trader for US and international traders, expanding its global reach.

The firm emphasizes transparency and fair conditions, aiming to align its success with trader performance. Funded accounts are offered after a one-time evaluation, and traders can withdraw their share of profits without risking personal capital. Moneta Funded is positioned as a credible alternative for skilled traders seeking capital access without the emotional pressure of fully self-funded trading.
