TL;DR: FundedHive in 30 seconds
- What it is: a blockchain-themed CFD/forex prop firm (part of the TradingHive Group) trading forex, gold and indices on cTrader, with on-chain, automated payouts. 2-Step, Pay-From-Profits and Instant Growth lines.
- The split: 70% on the 2-Step, 80% on Pay-From-Profits and Instant Growth - and, crucially, only on the profit earned while your account is in A-book mode (see below).
- The drawdown: static and balance-based - 10% overall (6% on Instant Growth), and the firm states plainly it does not trail. Daily loss is 5% end-of-day; Instant Growth has none.
- The catch: the A-book / B-book switch. Breach a risk parameter and your account is moved to B-book, where “profits… are demo profits and are not eligible for withdrawal.” Your 80% only applies to A-book gains.
- Cost: one-off access fees from $9-$29 (a permanent 25% code runs), or the Instant Growth ladder from $299. No recurring monthly fee.
- Best for: traders comfortable with a novel on-chain payout model who understand the A/B-book mechanic - and who read how it decides whether their profit is real or demo.

Company and regulation
FundedHive describes itself as “a blockchain-based Decentralized Autonomous Corporation” within the TradingHive Group, which lists entities in New York, the DIFC in Dubai, Saint Lucia and London. No company registration numbers are published for any of them.
It is not regulated, and states so directly: “Funded Hive is not a broker, does not accept deposits, and does not provide access to live trading accounts.” No regulator or licence is named.
The accounts are simulated: “Funded Hive operates a simulated proprietary trading challenge… All trading activity within the challenge is simulated.” The wrinkle unique to this firm is that it claims to route funded accounts to the real market via its own A-book system - which is exactly where the important rule lives, so we will come to it in detail.
The products
| Line | Steps | Target | Daily loss | Max loss (static) | Split |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Step Classic | 2 | 8% then 6% | 5% EOD | 10% | 70% |
| Pay From Profits | 1 or 2 | 10% (1-step) | 5% EOD | 10% | 80% |
| Instant Growth | 0 (scales) | 6% per level | none | 6% | 80% |
Account sizes run $2k to $200k (Instant Growth scales toward $1,000,000 by doubling on 6% targets). Access fees are low - $9 to $29 on the Classic and Pay-From-Profits lines, with a permanent 25%-off code (WELCOME25). There is no recurring monthly fee, and passing refunds 200% of your fee as “Hive Coin” usable for more accounts.
The drawdown is static and balance-based on every line, which the firm sells clearly: “all drawdowns are balance-based and static, so your targets never move against you.” No trailing model. That is genuinely trader-friendly and consistently stated.
The rule worth the whole review: the A-book / B-book switch
FundedHive’s defining feature is also the one thing every prospective trader needs to understand before buying, because it decides whether the money you make is real or not.
The firm runs an Automated A-Book Dealing System. While your funded account is compliant, it trades A-book - routed to the real market, and your profit is real and withdrawable. But the Terms are explicit about what happens when an account breaches a risk parameter: it is switched to B-book, and “profits generated in B-Book mode are demo profits and are not eligible for withdrawal.”
To earn withdrawable profit again, the account must recover to a threshold and return to A-book - at which point “the balance resets to the initial balance.” Read together with the split, this is the key sentence in the whole offer: your 80% applies only to A-book profit. A trader can be moved into a mode where their gains accumulate on screen but are worth nothing, until they trade back into compliance.
To be fair to FundedHive, this is unusually transparent as these things go - the switching is logged on-chain, each approved payout mints an NFT certificate, and the counters are public. That is more visibility than the hedged-book models most prop firms run silently. But the mechanic still shifts risk onto the trader in a way the headline “80% split, instant payouts” does not convey, and it is exactly where the firm’s own critical reviews concentrate. If you take one thing from this review, take this: understand what puts you in B-book before you rely on a payout.
Payouts
- Speed: the headline feature - “sent within 60 seconds of request,” automated by smart contract with “no team approval required.” If it works as described, that is a real advance on the manual, discretionary payouts common in this sector.
- Methods: crypto - USDT, USDC, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron, and MetaMask.
- Cycle: on-demand, daily.
- Caps: Instant Growth carries a $2,000-per-day instant-payout security limit; a general minimum withdrawal is not published.
- Consistency: none - “no consistency rules.”
- The catch, restated: all of the above applies to A-book profit only.
Trading rules
- Minimum trading days: 3 profitable days to pass a phase (none on Instant Growth).
- Consistency rule: none. Minimum hold time: none. Both genuinely trader-friendly.
- News trading: allowed on all lines.
- Weekend holding: allowed during the challenge but not on funded accounts. Overnight holds are swap-free.
- EAs: allowed, provided they are not HFT bots or used to exploit glitches. Copy trading and hedging are disallowed (the Terms are slightly inconsistent on copy trading during the challenge - worth confirming if it matters to you).
- Platform: cTrader, with a MetaMask/Web3 wallet for payouts.
One contradiction to flag: the marketing sells “A-book trading on funded accounts” and real-market transparency, while the legal disclaimer says trading is “simulated” and that the firm “does not provide access to live trading accounts.” The A/B-book switch reconciles these only partly, and you should read it as a hedged model with an on-chain audit trail rather than a straightforwardly “live” account.
Verdict
FundedHive is one of the more genuinely novel firms in this project. The static balance-based drawdown, no consistency rule, no minimum hold time, news trading allowed, swap-free overnight, low entry fees and no monthly cost are all real positives. And the on-chain payout rail - 60-second automated withdrawals with NFT proof and no human approval - is a legitimate attempt to fix the thing traders complain about most at other firms.
The reason to be careful is the A-book / B-book switch. Your 80% split only applies to profit earned while the system keeps you A-book, and a breach quietly moves your gains into a demo bucket you cannot withdraw. The firm is more transparent about this than most - it is on-chain and documented - but it is a material risk that the marketing understates, and it is where the firm’s own worst reviews cluster. There are also no published registration numbers and the “live vs simulated” messaging pulls in two directions.
Worth trying at the low entry price if the on-chain model appeals and you have read the A/B-book rules in full. Do not treat a screen profit as banked until you know which book you are on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FundedHive regulated?
No. FundedHive describes itself as a blockchain-based decentralised corporation within the TradingHive Group, and states plainly that it is not a broker, does not accept deposits and does not provide access to live trading accounts. No regulator or licence is named, and no company registration numbers are published for any of its listed entities.
What is the FundedHive profit split?
It is 70% on the 2-Step Classic and 80% on the Pay-From-Profits and Instant Growth lines. Critically, the split applies only to profit earned while your account is in A-book mode. Profit made after the account is switched to B-book is treated as demo profit and cannot be withdrawn.
What is FundedHive’s A-book / B-book system?
It is an automated system that routes compliant funded accounts to the real market (A-book), where profit is real and withdrawable. If an account breaches a risk parameter it is switched to B-book, and the firm states that profits generated in B-Book mode are demo profits not eligible for withdrawal. The account must recover to a threshold to return to A-book, at which point its balance resets to the initial balance.
Is the FundedHive drawdown static or trailing?
Static and balance-based on every product. The overall maximum loss is 10% on the Classic and Pay-From-Profits lines and 6% on Instant Growth, and the firm states that drawdowns are balance-based and static so your targets never move against you. The daily loss limit is 5% measured end-of-day, and Instant Growth has no daily loss limit at all.
How fast are FundedHive payouts?
FundedHive advertises automated on-chain payouts sent within 60 seconds of request, with no team approval required and each payout minting an NFT certificate. Payouts are in crypto (USDT, USDC, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Tron or MetaMask) and there are no consistency rules. Note that this applies only to withdrawable A-book profit.
Does FundedHive charge a monthly fee?
No. The model is one-time access fees, which are low ($9 to $29 on the Classic and Pay-From-Profits lines, and a ladder from $299 on Instant Growth). There is no recurring monthly fee, and passing a challenge refunds 200% of the fee as Hive Coin usable for further accounts.
Are FundedHive accounts simulated?
The challenge is simulated: FundedHive states all trading activity within the challenge is simulated and that it does not provide access to live trading accounts. Funded accounts are claimed to route to the real market via the firm’s A-book system while compliant, but profit made in B-book mode is explicitly demo profit. Treat it as a hedged model with an on-chain audit trail rather than a straightforwardly live account.
