For most of the last decade, a crypto trader's infrastructure decision was a choice between venues: which centralized exchange for spot and perps, which DeFi protocol for on-chain leverage, which custody setup in between
- Proprietary trading firms are emerging as a significant consideration for crypto traders in 2026, alongside traditional exchanges and DeFi protocols.
- Traders are evaluating prop firms based on payout track record, rule stability, instrument depth, and capital scaling, similar to how they assess exchanges.
- The convergence is driven by capital efficiency, allowing traders with a proven edge but limited capital to leverage firm capital, though differences in microstructure and risk models (drawdown vs. liquidation) exist.
