Tradeify has now paid out more than $400 million through Rise, according to payout data tracked by PayoutBoard. Rise is the firm's main payout method, with Plane as the alternative for traders who can't be paid through Rise because of restrictions or other reasons. That's spread across more than 205,000 payouts, with an average of around 500 payouts every single day in the last 12 months.
In May, the firm announced it had passed $200 million. So in about five months, Tradeify paid out more than it had in its entire history before that. Very few prop firms ever get to $400 million in total payouts. Tradeify did it roughly two years after launching.
The chart that explains everything
Includes payouts sent through Rise only.
If you want to understand why Tradeify is one of the most talked-about firms in futures right now, look at its monthly payouts. It's one of the most impressive payout charts in the industry, and not because of one huge month. It's because the bars just keep getting taller.
In September 2025, Tradeify paid out $9.95 million through Rise. In September 2026, it paid out $41 million, about 4 times as much in a single year. Every completed month since May 2026 has exceeded $30 million, and October had reached $29.19 million as of October 18, with nearly two weeks still to go. If that pace holds, it will be the firm's biggest month yet.
The median payout is $1,575, which means half of the payouts were smaller and half were larger.
A lot of prop firms have a few big months and then level off. Tradeify's chart has gone up almost every month for two years straight.
It wasn't supposed to be a futures firm
CEO Brett Simberkoff and COO Vinan Mistry originally planned to build a CFD prop firm. In an interview with Finance Magnates this summer, they said that changed after the CFTC shut down My Forex Funds in 2023. Most of their audience was in the US, and suddenly the CFD side of the industry looked like the wrong place to be.
So they went with futures instead and launched Tradeify in 2024. The timing worked out well. A lot of traders had lost trust in CFD firms, and futures had a simple selling point: prices come from the exchange, not from the firm you're trading with.
How it grew this fast
The short answer is payouts. In this industry, paying traders reliably does more for a firm's reputation than any ad, because traders who get paid posts the screenshot on social media.
The firm has also made changes traders actually noticed. It dropped monthly subscriptions for evaluations and switched to one-time fees. Mistry said their data showed most evaluations were passed or failed within about a week anyway, and the switch barely moved revenue. Tradeify also added a $25K account to make it cheaper to get started.
Then there's the marketing, which looks nothing like a typical prop firm's. Since December 2025, Tradeify has signed darts world champion Luke Littler, UFC fighter Israel Adesanya and Australian cricketer Travis Head as ambassadors, each picked for a different market: the UK, the US and India. In January it also partnered with esports organization FlyQuest. The idea is simple: get the name in front of people who have never heard of a prop firm.
It seems to be working. Estimated search traffic to Tradeify's website also hit an all-time high in September.
It's turning into more than a prop firm
In May, Tradeify launched Slay Markets, a retail futures brokerage run through its own introducing broker, with NinjaTrader Clearing as the clearing firm. The idea is that traders who earn payouts on Tradeify accounts can move that money into a real, live account without leaving the Tradeify ecosystem.
The firm launched Tradeify 24/7 earlier this year, and recent job listings show it is building a dedicated team for a forex product, Tradeify FX.
Futures is still the core of the business. But Tradeify clearly isn't planning to stay a one-product company.
What comes next
At the pace Tradeify is paying out right now, around $40 million a month, the next big number isn't far off. If the next few months look anything like the last few, the firm could cross half a billion dollars in payouts before the end of the year.
Next up is Black Friday, the busiest few weeks of the year for prop firms. With October already on track to be a record month, the end of 2026 could be Tradeify's biggest stretch yet.
