We brought part of the HyroTrader team together for an internal meetup and scalping tournament.
In 2025, the team grew to more than 26 full-time members. Thousands of traders are active on our platform every day. We declined two acquisition offers to stay focused on the long term. Two new exchange integrations are prepared for early next year. Our new infrastructure is close to completion and built to scale.
We are still early, but the direction is clear.
2026 will be a defining year.
Zcash, Hyperliquid, and SUI recorded a combined $3.17B in 24-hour trading volume.
zcash:native leads with $1.07B, followed by sui:native at $1.06B and hyperliquid:native at $1.04B.
All three assets are available to trade through Hyrotrader alongside crypto and other supported markets.
Previous bear markets included countertrend rallies of around 68% in 2018 and 36% in 2022. Moves that large can make a recovery look convincing while the broader decline is still unfinished.
Bullish divergence helps explain how this happens. Price makes a lower low while momentum starts improving, suggesting selling pressure may be weakening. Around a meaningful support level, that can support a rebound toward the top of a trading range. Whether it develops into a lasting recovery depends on what follows.
Time since the cycle peak and the depth of the drawdown help put the move into perspective. Capitulation can reveal stress and forced selling. Market structure then shows whether buyers are beginning to sustain the recovery.
Historical cycles provide useful comparisons, but the market has no obligation to repeat their timing or reach the same retracement level.
A short-term bullish setup and an unresolved macro downtrend can exist together.
We gave away $11.15M in challenge accounts to 1,020 traders.
Over the past month, we reviewed 8,810 applications from traders around the world. We looked at their track records, strategies and trading experience, then assigned sponsored accounts based on what they had already demonstrated as traders.
No challenge fee. No purchase required.
In return, we asked traders to share their trading data and experience with us, helping HyroTrader learn, improve our products and bring more value to our community and the communities of our partners.
The prop firm business model can easily become obsessed with one thing: selling more challenges.
More sales. More failed challenges. More revenue.
We don’t think that should be the whole industry.
We started HyroTrader because we wanted this product for ourselves. We built it with our own capital, without outside funding. Becoming one of the leading crypto prop firms is simply the result of what we’ve built and brought to traders.
The Sponsored Challenge Program was our way of giving something back, $11.15M in challenge capital across 40 countries so far.
And now it’s coming to an end.
Applications close Friday, 2 October.
If you haven’t applied yet, you still have one last chance to get something back for your trading experience.
Share your track record. Show us how you trade. We’ll take care of the challenge fee.
Calling on every “on-chain” prop firm: publish your smart contract security audit.
@HypernovaX@ProprXYZ@HyperPNL@hyper_stack@Icebergdotcash - this includes you.
Not just payout transaction IDs or fancy dashboards. Let traders verify the actual infrastructure behind the product.
We’ve been building Hyro’s on-chain infrastructure for over a year with 5 full-time senior developers, and we’re still not live.
Our independent audit found issues, including critical findings. That’s exactly why audits matter: find them, fix them, test again, then launch.
We’ll publish ours publicly here in the comments.
If you’re building on-chain, publish your audit for your community. Give your traders the ability to verify what they’re trusting.
Let’s set the standard for the whole industry.
On-chain should mean verifiable, not just a marketing narrative.
bitcoin:native has moved sharply higher, while order-book positioning remains mixed across the market.
Bid/ask rankmap shows positive readings for LDO, ETH and ADA, while BTC, INJ and TAO sit on the negative side. That suggests uneven resting liquidity across the selected coins, with no uniform bullish positioning.
The setup to watch is a retest of BTC’s breakout area. If buyers defend it and buying volume strengthens on the rebound, that would support another move toward the recent highs.
If price falls back into the previous range and fails to reclaim the breakout, the focus shifts to a deeper pullback and liquidation levels below.
this is one of my $100K funded accounts with a 100% win rate.
I’m not one of those guys on here who come around making all sorts of claims or cap!!
10 wins. 0 losses so far.
I told myself I didn’t want a single loss on this account, and I was able to achieve it.
It’s verifiable if you’re doubting 😂
Understand your risk and manage it properly. There’s no need to be scared of failing your challenge.
Check my next post to see how I trade my accounts without blowing them.
Stay Hyro 💙✌️
