In a bold expansion beyond its roots in funded trading challenges, Instant Funding has unveiled plans for two major launches: a licensed CFD brokerage named IF Pro, and a crypto-first trading platform, IF Crypto, scheduled to go live in May 2025.

The move underscores a growing trend in the prop trading space—firms are no longer content with challenge models alone. They're building regulated infrastructure, launching their own MetaTrader environments, and stepping directly into the territory of traditional brokers.

A Brokerage of Their Own: Introducing IF Pro

Instant Funding has confirmed that IF Pro Ltd is now registered and licensed in St. Lucia, a jurisdiction gaining popularity among fintechs and prop firms alike. The goal? To offer trading under its own MetaTrader 4 and 5 license, giving the firm full control over infrastructure and compliance.

“We’re proud to announce IF Pro, our own brokerage. We’ll be sharing more details in the coming weeks. Stay tuned.”

This development reflects a clear strategic pivot—away from third-party reliance and toward building a self-contained trading ecosystem.

IF Crypto: Expanding Beyond the Prop Trader

Launching in May, IF Crypto represents Instant Funding’s entrance into the digital asset space. While crypto hasn’t traditionally been central to the prop trading model, the firm is positioning itself to attract broader audiences—including retail crypto users.

“Our crypto-first platform is coming this May. We’re inviting early access users now, who will get product updates and priority access. Join the waitlist today.”

Why It Matters

Instant Funding is joining a wave of prop firms building multi-service platforms that span prop challenges, brokerage, and now crypto. This signals:

• A move toward regulatory independence
  
  
• Greater control of client experience
  
  
• More diverse product offerings for both retail and funded traders
  
  

But as always, more platforms = more responsibility. Traders should stay vigilant: understand who is executing your trades, where the entity is licensed, and how your capital is protected.
