Prop firms for traders from the CIS: rating and top 7

PropMarketCap prop firm rating: top 7 as of 22.10.2026

The top places are occupied by Hash Hedge (4.8 out of 5) and Era Trade (4.6). Next come SpiceProp (4.2) and The Funded Way (4.1), while FTMO, HyroTrader and Vanta Trading share 4.0. This is the overall rating of the PMC catalog, and we name the best prop trading firms only according to it, not according to our own taste.

Click your country: the access column in the table will change. Prices for a $10,000 account are shown in the prop firm's currency, and the name leads to its card with the rules.

Hash Hedge is first, but you can only pay for the challenge there with cryptocurrency. No USDT wallet - the first row isn't for you, and that's fine. The place in the ranking reflects reliability according to the PMC formula, not which prop firm is more convenient for you specifically. The best prop firms of 2026 by rating won't do you any good if they won't let you in, so check your country's column first. Full profiles of all seven are in the PMC prop firm catalog.

The profiles also contain what didn't fit in the table. Forex is available at all of them except Hash Hedge: its markets include crypto, indices, futures, metals, stocks and energy. The MetaTrader 5 platform is available at Era Trade, SpiceProp, The Funded Way and FTMO. Profit split at four of the seven prop firms is up to 80% to the trader, at FTMO and SpiceProp up to 90%, at Vanta Trading up to 100%.

How the rating is calculated: why one prop firm ranks above another

The rating consists of five parts, with a final score from 1 to 5 stars. The formula is published on the PMC rating methodology page, and it is recalculated once a day.

Two parts out of five depend on reviews. The rating of a person who has not bought a challenge from this prop firm through PMC does not affect the rating: this way the rating is protected from manipulation. Age is also only one part out of five. FTMO has been operating since 2014, and its rating is 4.0, lower than that of prop firms from 2023.

PMC still has few of its own reviews and payouts: as of 22.10.2026, the catalog has 6 reviews for 7 prop firms. Therefore, in the first 60 days after launch, the rating is calculated using the same formula, but based on open data: public reviews, payout history, official information and trader communities. The more confirmed purchases and payouts pass through PMC, the more the rating will rely on them.

Prop firms for traders in Russia and Belarus

From Russia, five of the seven prop firms in the catalog sell challenges, and payouts can be received from four. Each status is taken from the prop firm's own rules:

• Era Trade works with all traders over 18 years old and has no list of prohibited countries.
• Hash Hedge only excludes countries under full sanctions, such as Cuba, Iran and the DPRK.
• SpiceProp on the Russian version of the site lists 14 countries from which it does not register clients. Russia, Belarus and other CIS countries are not among them.
• The Funded Way states in its help section that it does not work with sanctioned countries, except Russia and Ukraine. Belarus is not included in the exceptions, so The Funded Way is closed for it. The Funded Way sends payouts only via Rise, and Rise has Russia and Ukraine on its list of closed countries. For Russians this means: you can buy the challenge, but you cannot receive the payout. From Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Armenia, Georgia and EU countries, payouts via Rise are available.
• Vanta Trading only excludes countries under full sanctions. In its PMC card, these are Cuba, Iran, the DPRK and Syria.
• FTMO and HyroTrader exclude Russia and Belarus. At the same time, FTMO admits traders from Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and all EU countries. HyroTrader is open to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and EU countries.

From Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan everyone is accepted except FTMO. FTMO closes these countries, but is open to Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Moldova and all EU countries. HyroTrader does not name these countries in a hard prohibited list, but clause 12.2 of its terms permits enhanced verification: HyroTrader accepts, but may check you additionally.

For Ukraine, HyroTrader and the FTMO CFDs line do not close the entire country, but Crimea and four regions: Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. The rest of Ukraine is open to them. The FTMO Futures line closes Ukraine entirely. For The Funded Way, Ukraine is the same as Russia: payouts go through Rise, and Rise does not serve Ukraine. You should not circumvent the ban via VPN or someone else's documents: The Funded Way in clause 7.4 of its terms explicitly states that for this it closes the account without refunding the money.

Best prop companies by price: how much a $10,000 account costs

The cheapest two-step 10,000 account in the catalog is at The Funded Way: $92 for the Starter way program, but from Russia and Ukraine you cannot receive a payout from it through Rise. Next is FTMO for 89 euros, Era Trade and Hash Hedge at $99, HyroTrader at $119 and SpiceProp for 99 euros. Vanta Trading does not have a two-step program.

Prices from the PMC catalog as of 22.10.2026; SpiceProp's account is in euros. A one-step challenge is passed faster, but its limits are stricter. At FTMO it is even cheaper than the two-step one, 79 euros versus 89, but the daily loss limit is 3% instead of 5%. The targets, limits and profit share of all 130 programs are collected in the challenge catalog.

Prop firms for cryptocurrency traders

If you trade crypto, compare Hash Hedge and HyroTrader. Hash Hedge has separate programs for cryptocurrency, and profits are withdrawn in USDT to a wallet. HyroTrader connects the Bybit and BloFin exchanges. Of these two, only Hash Hedge is available from Russia, while HyroTrader is open to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and EU countries. Era Trade also lets you trade crypto, including via ByBit, and accepts payment by card and via SBP.

Both have the same loss limits: 5% per day and 10% overall. The difference is in the targets: Hash Hedge requires earning 5% in the first phase, while HyroTrader requires 10%.

Top prop firms: what to check besides the rating position

A high position in the top says nothing about whether the rules will suit your trading. You can lose your fee even with a prop firm from the first line.

How to read challenge rules point by point is covered in the free Academy lesson on choosing a prop firm.

A rating won't pass the challenge for you

Even the first line of the rating doesn't guarantee a payout. The challenge is paid, most participants fail it, and the fee is not refunded on failure. Trading takes place on a simulated account, the prop firm pays the payout from its own funds under the terms of the contract, and there is no central bank oversight of this.

You've already checked the country in the table. It's more convenient to compare rules and price in the PMC challenge calculator: it selects a challenge to fit your budget and trading style from 130 programs across 7 prop firms.
