Prop firms for traders in Russia: who accepts in 2026

Prop firms for traders in Russia: who accepts in 2026

The table is compiled from the official rules of each prop firm and from the PMC catalog as of 22.10.2026. Click your country and the access column will change. The name leads to the prop firm's card with full rules.

Each status is taken from the prop firm's own rules:

• Era Trade works with all traders over 18; it has no list of banned countries.
• Hash Hedge only blocks countries under embargo and full sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran and the DPRK.
• SpiceProp on the Russian version of its website names 14 countries from which it does not register clients. Russia and other CIS countries are not on this list.
• Vanta Trading blocks countries under full US, UK, EU or UN sanctions. Russia is not subject to such sanctions; the PMC card lists Cuba, Iran, the DPRK and Syria as blocked.
• The Funded Way does not work with sanctioned countries, but explicitly names Russia and Ukraine as an exception. Payouts, however, go only through Rise, and Rise lists Russia and Ukraine as blocked countries. A payout through Rise can be received from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Georgia and EU countries.
• FTMO blocks Russia but admits traders from Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and all EU countries. The FTMO CFDs line also opens Ukraine, except Crimea and four regions, while the futures line blocks Ukraine entirely.
• HyroTrader blocks Russia and Belarus but is open to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and EU countries.

For prop firms, a trader from Moscow and a trader from Vladivostok are the same: the rules look at the country, not the city. There are no prop trading firms registered in Russia in the PMC catalog. All seven prop firms are registered abroad: in the UAE, Czechia, the Cayman Islands and Saint Lucia.

Prop Firms for Russians: Passport or Country of Residence

If you are a Russian citizen but live in another country, the answer depends on what the prop company checks. FTMO blocks countries by place of residence. HyroTrader in clause 12.1 of its terms blocks Russia for residents, for citizens, and for those who are in Russia right now.

Example. A trader with a Russian passport moved to Yerevan and lives there. FTMO is open to him because Armenia is not on its list. In HyroTrader he is barred: Russian citizenship is listed in the same clause as residence. The country of residence must be genuine. Providing someone else's address or logging in via VPN means violating the terms: The Funded Way, for example, blocks the account for this without refunding the money.

Best Prop Firms in Russia: Rating and Price of a 10,000 Account

Among those that allow traders from Russia, the highest in the overall PMC rating are Hash Hedge (4.8 out of 5) and Era Trade (4.6). Next come SpiceProp (4.2) and Vanta Trading (4.0). There are still few reviews in the catalog, Hash Hedge has 2, Vanta Trading has none, so look at the number of reviews next to the stars.

Prices are taken from the PMC challenge catalog as of 22.10.2026; for SpiceProp, the account and price are in euros. The two-phase challenge is cheaper, but verification takes longer: two profit targets instead of one. The Funded Way did not make it into the cards: its Starter way costs $92, but a payout from Russia via Rise cannot be received. All 130 programs from seven prop firms are collected in the challenge catalog.

How to pay for a challenge from Russia

You can pay with cryptocurrency at any of the four prop firms that accept users from Russia. Cards are accepted by Era Trade, SpiceProp, and Vanta Trading, while SBP is listed in the PMC catalog only for Era Trade.

How to withdraw a payout to Russia

No prop firm in the catalog pays rubles to a Russian card. Era Trade, Hash Hedge and SpiceProp transfer payouts in cryptocurrency to your wallet, Vanta Trading pays in USDC or by bank transfer in dollars via Stripe.

Era Trade pays out in USDT, BTC, ETH or LTC. Hash Hedge promises payout within 72 hours, and if it is late, it will return triple the amount. SpiceProp transfers cryptocurrency only to a wallet registered in the trader's name.

Before the payout there will be identity verification. Vanta Trading conducts it via Stripe when activating the account after the challenge. Hash Hedge may ask for a passport, proof of address no older than three months and a selfie, and gives 10 business days to respond.

Prop firms in Russia and the CIS: Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and neighbors

If you live not in Russia but in a neighboring country, the choice is wider. Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Moldova are not on any of the catalog's prop firm ban lists.

Kazakhstan, Belarus and Uzbekistan are not included in this table. FTMO closes all of them. HyroTrader closes Belarus but accepts Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Hash Hedge, Era Trade, SpiceProp and Vanta Trading are open to all three countries.

Prop trading in Russia: what is prohibited and what you risk

You can lose your deposit and payout not only on the chart. These five mistakes have nothing to do with trading, yet cost the same money.

A prop account doesn't work like a brokerage account. You trade on a simulated account, and the prop firm pays the payout from its own funds under the terms of the agreement. There is no Central Bank oversight of this. The challenge is paid, most participants don't pass it, and if you fail, the fee is not refunded.

On the other hand, only the cost of the attempt is at risk, not your deposit. If the payout and verification rules suit you, find a challenge in the PMC calculator: it will show programs for your budget and trading style. How to read the rules before buying is covered in the free Academy lesson on choosing a prop firm.

Summary

From Russia, four prop firms in the catalog offer a challenge and payout: Hash Hedge, Era Trade, SpiceProp and Vanta Trading. It is more convenient to pay in cryptocurrency, and via SBP only at Era Trade, with the payout arriving to a crypto wallet. If you live in another CIS country or in Europe, FTMO, HyroTrader and The Funded Way are also open: check your country in the table tabs.
