The $20 billion prop trading industry faces scrutiny over deceptive practices, with many firms using B-book models that simulate trades rather than executing them in real markets.​

Key Issues with Traditional Prop Firms:

  • Trades never reach actual markets
  • Profits come from trader evaluation fees, not market performance
  • Frequent account bans and payout delays
  • Poor customer support and lack of CEO transparency

A-book vs B-book Models:

  • A-book: Real market execution, firm shares trader's risk
  • B-book: Simulated trading, firm profits from trader losses

Blockchain-based solutions are emerging to address these problems by offering:

  • Real capital trading with market exposure
  • Instant on-chain withdrawals in USDC
  • Complete transparency without KYC requirements
  • Direct orderbook execution

The industry shift toward on-chain transparency aims to eliminate the smoke and mirrors approach that has plagued traditional prop firms, ensuring traders receive legitimate profit payouts.​
