Prop firm
Instant Funding announced plans to launch its cryptocurrency platform, IF
Crypto, next month while also revealing “IF Pro” as the name of its
forthcoming brokerage service. It thus joins the group of challenge-based
retail trading companies that have recently obtained licenses to operate
contracts-for-difference (CFD) businesses in the rather exotic location of
Saint Lucia.
Instant Funding to Launch
Crypto Platform in May
The company
is currently building anticipation for its May crypto launch by offering early
access sign-ups that will provide users with product development updates and
priority access when the platform goes live.
“Our
crypto-first platform is coming this May, and our community is already showing
strong interest,” the company stated in a social media announcement. The
firm is encouraging current followers to share the early access opportunity
with potential users interested in cryptocurrency services.
Our crypto-first platform, @IFcryptocom, is coming this May, and our community is hyped!
That’s why we’re launching a page you can share with your crypto‑loving friends so they, too, can sign up for early access.

Cryptocurrencies
aren’t particularly popular in the prop trading space, but a few have entered
the scene recently. Late last year, Hydra Funding expanded its offering to
include Bitcoin and other digital assets. Earlier this year, Klein Funding
followed suit by partnering with Bybit, the world’s third-largest exchange by
trading volume.
For Instant
Funding, however, this isn’t the only development. Even more significant is the
announcement of its own brokerage launch, IF Pro.

Instant
Funding appears to be developing two distinct financial service offerings. The
cryptocurrency-focused IF Crypto platform is scheduled for a May debut, while
the company’s brokerage service, branded as IF Pro, was announced separately
last week.
“In
the coming weeks, we’ll reveal more details about IF Pro’s features,
capabilities, and launch date,” the company noted in its broker
announcement on April 17.
We’re excited to reveal the name of our broker… Get ready to fall in love with IF Pro!

The website
footer of the prop trading firm now includes a note that IF Pro Ltd is a
company registered and licensed in St. Lucia. This location has become
increasingly popular among prop trading firms, enjoying similar appeal to even
more exotic jurisdictions like the Island of Comoros.
Why the
move to launch their own brokers? Primarily, it’s about regulatory compliance
and the ability to offer MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms to clients. Instant
Funding had already announced its return to MetaTrader at the end of February,
after securing its own “main label” license. This suggests the brokerage
authorization was likely obtained earlier, but the firm is only now officially
confirming that it is developing the IF Pro brand.
Details
about the entity remain limited, making it difficult to determine whether it
will operate as an independent FX/CFD brokerage for retail clients or solely
serve as a licensed provider for prop trading firms.
