ATFunded has placed all cryptocurrency trading instruments on close-only status, effective immediately. Traders with funded accounts can still close existing positions, but they will no longer be able to initiate new ones.
The firm explained that the move comes in response to sharply higher execution costs linked to recent volatility in digital asset markets. ATFunded stated that widening spreads to offset these costs would have undermined its goal of maintaining competitive trading conditions. Instead, the company opted to suspend new cryptocurrency trades until market conditions stabilize.
In its statement, ATFunded emphasized its focus on sustaining a reliable and cost-effective environment for clients. The company noted that the measure is temporary and designed to protect both traders and the firm’s broader trading framework.
As previously reported, ATFunded eased its rules for traders operating funded accounts, giving them more flexibility in how they manage strategies. The adjustment focuses on the “Minimum Trades” requirement, a key condition for payout eligibility. The firm has lowered the threshold that determines which trades qualify.
Previously, only trades with a volume equal to at least 80% of a trader’s largest position during a payout cycle were counted. That threshold has now been reduced to 50%, making it easier for traders to meet the minimum trade criteria.
