Independent data, rankings, estimates and research across the global retail proprietary trading industry.
Once a month, receive the latest PTC rankings, biggest movers and key score changes across the prop trading industry.
PTC maps the emerging crypto prop-trading market and separates live execution, simulated accounts, on-chain payouts, published reserves and protocol-native capital allocation.
PTC’s mid-year assessment of the retail prop-trading industry, combining reconciled external evidence with H1-valid proprietary PTC data on evaluation structures, funding environments, branded-search concentration and country-level demand.
PTC verified 14 qualifying new-firm launches in H1 2026 against one strict full-firm closure in the researched event set. The study also finds that several apparent “closures” were actually product, sub-brand or business-line changes rather than complete firm failures.
