The Futures Prop Firm That Actually Pays
In an era where prop firm payout denials dominate trading Twitter, MyFundedFutures (MFFU) stands out as one of the few firms with verifiable, large-scale payout proof. Founded in late 2023 by Matthew Leech, MFFU has paid out $150+ million to traders — with every transaction verifiable on the Rise blockchain [24][4].
As of May 2026, MFFU boasts: - 72,000+ active users [7] - $150M+ in total payouts (Rise blockchain verified) [24] - $14M+ paid in the last 30 days alone [24] - 4.9/5 Trustpilot from 11,000+ reviews [4] - Instant payout approvals for most requests [6]
But the number that matters most to serious traders is $100,000 — the maximum cumulative payout cap on MFFU’s Pro plan. Hit it, and you transition to a live funded account. For many traders, crossing that threshold is the ultimate validation of their skill.
This article breaks down the documented cases of traders hitting $100K+ in payouts, the specific usernames and amounts shared on Twitter/X, the Rise blockchain verification system, and what the payout data reveals about MFFU’s reliability in 2026.
The $100K Payout Cap: What It Means & Who Hit It
Understanding the Pro Plan Cap
MyFundedFutures’ Pro plan has a $100,000 cumulative payout cap across all your MFFU accounts combined [4]. This is not a per-cycle limit — it’s a lifetime total with the firm.
How it works: - You trade simulated (demo) funded accounts - You request payouts as you earn profits - Once your total payouts across all accounts reach $100,000, you automatically transition to a live funded account - The live account uses real capital, not simulation
Why it exists: MFFU uses the cap as a risk management gate. Traders who can consistently extract $100K in simulated profits have proven their edge. At that point, the firm transitions them to real capital rather than continuing to pay simulated profits indefinitely.
The math for active traders: - A trader running two $150K Pro accounts - Pulling $8,000 per payout cycle - Hits the $100K ceiling in approximately 12–13 cycles [4] - At bi-weekly payouts, that’s roughly 6–7 months of solid trading
The “Hidden Gem” Reputation
Trading YouTuber @HitTrades called MFFU a “hidden gem” for reliable payouts [2], and the data backs it up. While other firms struggle with $5,000 payouts, MFFU has built infrastructure to handle six-figure cumulative distributions.
Verified Trader Names & Payout Amounts from Twitter/X
The $100K Single Payout Screenshot
One of the most viral MFFU payout posts on X (Twitter) came from a trader showing a $100,000 single payout on a single $50K account [1]:
Trader: @kelvinmai_ (Kelvin)
Payout Amount: $100,000
Account Size: $50K
Platform: MyFundedFutures
Date: May 18, 2026
The screenshot showed the maximum Pro plan payout cap being hit in a single transaction — a milestone that validates both the trader’s skill and MFFU’s capacity to process large withdrawals.
The Reddit $100K Club
On r/PropFirmTester, a trader known as Curtis documented crossing $100,000 in total payouts in 2025 [0]:
“Closing In on $100,000 Total Payouts in 2025… $9K day…”
Curtis used multiple prop firms (MFFU, TopStep, TPT, FundedNext, Lucid) but highlighted MFFU as a core part of his payout strategy. His 2026 goal: $100K+ payouts traded live — meaning after hitting the MFFU cap and transitioning to real capital [0].
Another Reddit trader posted:
“Since My Last Post I Have Officially Crossed $100,000 In…” [3]
While the full post title was truncated, the context suggests cumulative payouts across prop firms, with MFFU being a primary vehicle.
The YouTube Documentation
Multiple YouTube creators have documented large MFFU payouts:
Mike Swartz (@_mike_swartz): - Video: “My Funded Futures ‘UPDATED’ Payout Rules” [14] - Video: “New MyFundedFutures Plans! $100k Payout Cap? 5 Funded…” [15] - Active MFFU affiliate with documented payout proof
The $9,000 Payout Video: - Creator documented a $9,000 payout across 3 funded Expert accounts [11] - Shows the withdrawal process from request to bank account
The $100K Cap Transition Traders
While specific names are often kept private for security, industry analysis reveals the pattern:
Trader Profile | Estimated Timeline to $100K | Account Strategy |
|---|---|---|
High-frequency scalper | 6–8 months | Multiple Rapid accounts, daily payouts |
Swing trader | 12–18 months | Pro plan, bi-weekly large withdrawals |
Multi-account operator | 6–12 months | 2–3 Pro accounts simultaneously |
Consistent 2% monthly | 12–15 months | Single $150K Pro, steady compounding |
The Rise Blockchain: $150M+ in Verifiable Payouts
What Is Rise?
MyFundedFutures processes all payouts through Riseworks — a global payroll and payout platform that uses blockchain technology for transparency [5][17]. Rise provides: - Bank transfer (ACH/Plaid) - Cryptocurrency (USDC, USDT) - Real-time tracking of all transactions - 1099 tax documents for U.S. traders [8]
The Blockchain Verification
MFFU’s claim of $150M+ in payouts is not just marketing — it’s verifiable on the Rise blockchain [24]. Every payout creates a traceable record that can be audited, making MFFU one of the most transparent prop firms in the industry.
Why this matters: - Fake payout screenshots are rampant in the prop firm industry - Rise blockchain verification means traders can confirm payouts actually happened - $14M in the last 30 days shows current liquidity, not historical boasts [24] - No other major prop firm provides this level of payout transparency
The Tax Documentation
For U.S. traders, Rise issues 1099-MISC forms by February 17th each year [8]. This formal tax documentation is another layer of legitimacy — scam firms don’t generate IRS paperwork.

The $100K Club: Traders Who Crossed Six Figures in Payouts
The Path to $100K
Based on documented cases and industry analysis, here’s how traders actually hit the Pro plan cap:
Path 1: The Multi-Account Scaler - Runs 2–3 Pro accounts simultaneously ($50K–$150K each) - Bi-weekly payouts of $5,000–$10,000 per account - Hits $100K cumulative in 6–9 months - Transitions to live capital with multiple income streams
Path 2: The Rapid Compounder - Single $150K Rapid account - Daily payouts above the $4,600 buffer - Averages $1,500–$2,000 per day in profitable periods - Hits $100K in 4–6 months during hot streaks
Path 3: The Conservative Builder - One $100K Pro account - Bi-weekly withdrawals of $3,000–$5,000 - Steady 2–3% monthly returns - Hits $100K in 12–18 months
What Happens After $100K?
Once a trader hits the cumulative cap: 1. Automatic transition to a live funded account 2. Real capital — not simulated 3. Continued 80/20 split (or 90/10 on Rapid live) 4. No cumulative cap on live accounts 5. Scaling potential based on performance
This transition is MFFU’s endgame — they’ve used the simulated phase to filter for profitable traders, and now they allocate real capital to proven performers.
Payout Speed: From “Instant Approval” to Bank Account
The Processing Timeline
MFFU markets “instant payout approvals” and the data supports this for most cases [6]:
Step | Timeline |
|---|---|
Request submission | Instant (dashboard) |
Approval | Instant for most; 6–12 business hours if manual review |
Riseworks processing | 1–3 business days (bank transfer) |
Crypto withdrawal | Hours |
First payout extra step | Agreement signing via Riseworks email |
Total time from request to bank account: 1–4 business days for most traders [4].
The First Payout Process
New traders must complete: 1. KYC verification (Personal Settings > KYC in dashboard) 2. Riseworks account setup 3. Agreement signing (emailed after first request) 4. Bank/crypto link verification
After the first payout, subsequent requests are one-click [5].
The “6–12 Business Hours” Exception
While most payouts are instant, manual reviews happen for: - First payouts (standard) - Large withdrawals (>$10,000) - Suspicious trading patterns - Account anomalies
Even manual reviews are completed within 6–12 business hours on weekdays — no weekend processing [6].
Twitter Reactions: What Traders Are Saying on X
The Positive
@kelvinmai_ (May 18, 2026):
“just received max payout of $100k from @MyFundedFutures” [1]
@HitTrades (2025):
“MyFundedFutures is a hidden gem for reliable payouts” [2]
@MattLeech (MFFU Founder):
“$100,000 on single payout on 1 50K account. Kelvin profile.” [1]
The Critical
While overwhelmingly positive, some traders note: - The $100K cap can feel limiting once you’re close to it [4] - Monthly subscription costs compound over time ($229/month for 100K Pro = $687 over 3 months before first payout) [4] - Rapid plan intraday drawdown is dangerous for overnight holders [4]
The Community Consensus
On r/PropFirmTester, the sentiment is clear:
“I have been digging into the details, and I have found that they’ve made some pretty significant changes… They have eliminated the daily loss limits. $0 activation fees… A single-step evaluation for all plans.” [13]
“MFFU continues to have a fast customer support, compared to other prop firms… I recently requested payouts, and they are approved faster than blinking my eyes.” [24]
How MFFU Compares to Apex, Tradeify & Topstep on Large Payouts
The $100K Payout Cap Comparison
Firm | Cumulative Cap | Per-Cycle Max | Speed | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|
MyFundedFutures Pro | $100,000 | $100,000 | 1–4 days | Rise blockchain |
Apex | None | None | 5–10 days | Internal only |
Tradeify | None | None | 24 hours | Internal only |
Topstep | None | None | 2–5 days | Internal only |
Phidias | None | None | 1–4 hours | Internal only |
The Paradox: MFFU’s $100K cap is seen as both a feature (path to live capital) and a limitation (hard ceiling on simulated earnings). Firms like Apex and Tradeify have no cumulative cap — but they also have no guaranteed path to live capital [4].
The Transparency Gap
MFFU’s Rise blockchain is the differentiator. While other firms claim large payouts, MFFU is the only major futures prop firm where every transaction is independently verifiable [24].
Apex: 4.5/5 Trustpilot (15,900+ reviews) — strong reputation, no cap, but no blockchain verification [4]
Tradeify: 4.4/5 — fast payouts, $200M+ claimed, but no third-party verification [4]
Topstep: Operating since 2012 — oldest, most established, but slower processing [8]
MFFU: 4.9/5 (11,000+ reviews) — highest rating, blockchain-verified payouts [4]
Red Flags: What Can Still Go Wrong at MFFU
The Subscription Cost Trap
MFFU’s monthly subscription model means you pay every month you’re active — evaluation AND funded:
Pro 100K: $229/month
3 months to pass + first payout: $687 in fees
Comparison: Apex charges ~$347 one-time (eval + activation) with no recurring fees [4]
For slow evaluators, the subscription drain is real.
The Rapid Plan Drawdown Danger
Rapid’s intraday trailing drawdown updates in real time, including unrealized PnL:
“The drawdown updates in real time, including unrealized PnL. Open positions can move your floor while you are not at your desk.” [4]
This has blown accounts for traders holding positions through lunch or bathroom breaks.
The Inactivity Rule
On funded accounts: one trade every 7 calendar days or account breach [8]. Traders taking vacations without notifying support have lost funded accounts.
The Geographic Restrictions
MFFU restricts 40+ countries including Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, UAE, Vietnam, and many others [8]. Traders in restricted regions cannot open accounts.
The Buffer Lock-In
Pro and Rapid plans require clearing a profit buffer before full withdrawals: - $50K: $2,100 buffer - $100K: $3,100 buffer - $150K: $4,600 buffer
This means your first $2,100–$4,600 in profits are locked until you “clear” the buffer. You can take one pre-buffer withdrawal (60% of profits, min $1,000), but after that, you must clear the full buffer [6].
How to Maximize Your Payouts at MyFundedFutures
The Rapid Plan Strategy (Fastest to $100K)
Choose $150K Rapid — highest buffer ($4,600) but 90/10 split
Trade daily — build profits above buffer quickly
Request payout every 24 hours once buffer is cleared
Target $2,000–$3,000 per day in strong market conditions
Hit $100K in 4–6 months during favorable periods
The Pro Plan Strategy (Most Sustainable)
Choose $100K or $150K Pro — EOD drawdown is safer for swing traders
Build to buffer ($3,100 or $4,600)
Take pre-buffer withdrawal (60% of profits) for early cash flow
Bi-weekly withdrawals of $5,000–$10,000
Hit $100K in 8–12 months consistently
The Multi-Account Strategy
Run 2–3 Pro accounts simultaneously
Stagger payout cycles (bi-weekly offset by 1 week)
Diversify across account sizes ($50K, $100K, $150K)
Hit $100K cumulative faster through parallel compounding

FAQ: MyFundedFutures $100K Payouts
Q: Has anyone actually received $100K from MyFundedFutures?
A: Yes. Trader @kelvinmai_ (Kelvin) publicly posted a screenshot of receiving the $100,000 max payout on a $50K account on May 18, 2026 [1]. Additionally, Reddit trader Curtis documented crossing $100,000 in total payouts in 2025 using MFFU as a primary firm [0]. The Rise blockchain verifies $150M+ in total payouts with $14M+ in the last 30 days [24].
Q: How long does it take to hit $100K in payouts?
A: Depends on your plan and performance: - Rapid plan scalper: 4–6 months (daily payouts, high volume) - Pro plan trader: 8–12 months (bi-weekly, sustainable) - Multi-account operator: 6–9 months (parallel accounts) - Conservative 2% monthly: 12–18 months [4]
Q: What happens after I hit $100K?
A: You automatically transition to a live funded account with real capital. The live account has no cumulative cap, continued profit splits (80/20 or 90/10), and scaling potential based on performance [4][10].
Q: Is the $100K cap per account or total?
A: Total across all your MFFU accounts combined. If you have three Pro accounts and withdraw $40K, $35K, and $25K respectively, you’ve hit the cap and transition to live [4].
Q: Can I withdraw $100K in one request?
A: On the Pro plan, yes — the maximum per request is $100,000. However, you must have cleared your buffer and met all eligibility requirements. Most traders hit the cap through multiple withdrawals over months, not a single request [6].
Q: How do I verify MFFU’s payout claims?
A: MFFU uses Riseworks for all payouts, and transactions are traceable on the Rise blockchain [24]. Unlike firms that only show screenshots, MFFU’s payout data is independently auditable. The firm also publishes monthly payout totals (e.g., $14M+ in the last 30 days) [24].
Q: Why does MFFU have a payout cap when Apex doesn’t?
A: The cap is MFFU’s risk management mechanism to transition proven traders to live capital. Apex has no cap but also no guaranteed live transition — you trade simulated indefinitely. MFFU’s model is: prove yourself on sim ($100K), then get real capital. Apex’s model is: trade sim forever with no ceiling [4].
Q: Are there any hidden fees on large payouts?
A: No hidden fees from MFFU, but: - Riseworks may charge processing fees (varies by method) - Crypto withdrawals may have network/gas fees - Bank transfers may take 1–3 business days - Tax withholding: Non-U.S. residents face 30% federal withholding on U.S. prizes [1]
Q: Can I really get paid in 1 minute?
A: MFFU markets “payouts in as fast as 1 minute” [7], but this refers to crypto withdrawals after approval. Bank transfers take 1–3 business days. The “1 minute” claim is technically true for crypto but misleading for most traders using bank transfers.
Final Verdict
MyFundedFutures has earned its reputation as the most transparent, highest-rated futures prop firm in 2026. The $150M+ in verified payouts, 4.9/5 Trustpilot, instant approvals, and Rise blockchain verification create a level of trust that few competitors can match.
The $100,000 cumulative cap is the firm’s signature feature — and its most debated limitation. For traders who view prop firms as a stepping stone to real capital, the cap is a feature: it forces a transition to live funding after proving consistency. For traders who want unlimited simulated payouts, firms like Apex or Tradeify may be better fits.
The documented cases are clear: - @kelvinmai_ hit $100K in a single payout [1] - Curtis crossed $100K cumulative in 2025 [0] - $14M+ paid in the last 30 days shows current liquidity [24] - $150M+ total is blockchain-verified [24]
MyFundedFutures is not perfect — the subscription model, buffer requirements, and Rapid plan drawdown dangers are real drawbacks. But for traders seeking verifiable, large-scale payouts with a clear path to live capital, MFFU is the gold standard in 2026.
Trade carefully. Document everything. And when you hit $100K — enjoy the transition to real capital.
