Breakout review
Breakout is a crypto focused prop firm whose website states that it has been acquired by the crypto exchange Kraken. Evaluations are run by Breakout Trading Group, LLC, and funded accounts are provided under a separate agreement with Payward Oceanic, Ltd. There are three one step evaluations, all sold for a one time fee with an 80/20 split and an optional upgrade to 90/10 for 20% more. 1 Step Classic has a 10% target and a 6% static drawdown and costs $45 to $800 for sizes from $5,000 to $100,000. 1 Step Pro asks for 12% with a 5% static drawdown and costs $33 to $1,090 for sizes up to $200,000. 1 Step Turbo asks for 9% with a 3% static drawdown and costs $20 to $660. Every account has a 3% daily loss limit reset at 00:30 UTC, and there are no consistency rules, minimum trading days, time limits or news restrictions. Positions can be held overnight and over weekends. The instrument list covers 68 crypto assets, from BTC at 10x leverage and ETH and SOL at 5x down to smaller tokens at 2x, plus four non crypto tracking instruments. Trading runs on the Breakout Terminal or DXtrade, and payouts can be requested at any time from $50, paid in USDC on Ethereum.
Suits
Crypto traders who want a short rule set, 24/7 trading with weekend holding and fast payouts in USDC.
Less suited to
You need more than 5x leverage on anything other than BTC, or you want payouts in fiat currency rather than USDC.
Pros
- Evaluations start at $20 and are a one time fee with no charges at payout.
- There are no consistency rules, minimum trading days, time limits or news restrictions.
- The maximum drawdown is static, so the floor does not rise as the account grows.
- Payouts can be requested at any time, including weekends, from a $50 minimum.
- Positions can be held overnight and over weekends, and crypto can be traded around the clock.
Cons
- Leverage reaches 10x only on BTC, with most large caps at 5x and many smaller tokens at 2x or 3x.
- The default split is 80/20, and the 90/10 split costs 20% more at checkout.
- There are no resets, so a breach means buying a new evaluation.
- Payouts are paid only in USDC on the Ethereum network.
- Total funded capital is capped at $200,000 across all accounts.
Verdict
Breakout keeps its rule set short: two loss limits, no consistency rule, no minimum days and no restrictions on news or weekend holding. The maximum drawdown is static rather than trailing, so the floor never moves up with profits, which gives a funded trader more room as the account grows. Payouts are the other strength, with requests allowed at any time once positions are closed, a $50 minimum and an approval process that can take 12 to 24 hours.
The main trade off is leverage. Only BTC reaches 10x, most large caps such as ETH and SOL are capped at 5x, and many smaller tokens sit at 2x or 3x, which limits position size on the smaller accounts. The 3% daily loss limit is measured from the balance at 00:30 UTC, so traders need to plan around that reset time. There are no resets, so a breach forfeits the account and a new evaluation must be bought. Notional trading fees of 0.04% per order and a daily swap charge of 0.033% on positions held at 00:00 UTC also count against performance.
The default split is 80/20, although the 90/10 upgrade costs only 20% more at checkout. Payouts are made only in USDC on Ethereum, so a compatible wallet is needed, and total funded capital is capped at $200,000.
Breakout suits crypto traders who want simple rules, weekend access and fast stablecoin payouts. It is a weaker fit for traders who need high leverage on smaller tokens or who want to be paid in fiat currency.

Questions about Breakout
Is Breakout owned by Kraken?
Breakout's website states that it has been acquired by the crypto exchange Kraken. Evaluations are operated by Breakout Trading Group, LLC, and traders who pass can enter a separate funded trader agreement with Payward Oceanic, Ltd. The help centre describes these two companies as separate and independent entities, with each responsible for a different stage of the program.
How much does a Breakout evaluation cost?
Prices depend on the variant and size. 1 Step Turbo costs $20 to $660, 1 Step Pro costs $33 to $1,090 and 1 Step Classic costs $45 to $800, across sizes from $5,000 to $200,000, with Classic stopping at $100,000. Each is a one time fee with an 80/20 split, and the 90/10 upgrade adds 20% to the price.
What leverage does Breakout offer?
Leverage is set per instrument. BTC has 10x, large caps including ETH, SOL, XRP, BNB and DOGE have 5x, a group including HYPE, NEAR and PEPE has 3x, and many smaller tokens have 2x. Of the non crypto instruments, XYZ100 and S&P500 have 10x, while crude oil and silver have 5x. Leverage is reviewed periodically and may change.
What are the Breakout drawdown rules?
Every account has a 3% daily loss limit, measured from the balance at 00:30 UTC each day, and a static maximum drawdown set at the start. The maximum drawdown is 6% on Classic, 5% on Pro and 3% on Turbo, and it does not move as the balance grows. Hitting either limit closes all positions and forfeits the account.
How do Breakout payouts work?
Funded traders can request a payout at any time, on weekdays or weekends, provided they have no open positions and the account has not been breached. The minimum is $50 after the split. Requests go through an approval process that can take 12 to 24 hours, and payouts are sent in USDC on the Ethereum network to the trader's wallet.
Which platforms and pairs can I trade on Breakout?
Trading runs on the Breakout Terminal or on DXtrade, and Breakout also has iOS and Android apps for managing accounts. The instrument list covers 68 crypto assets, including BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP and many smaller tokens, plus four non crypto tracking instruments for US equity indices, crude oil and silver. Trading is available 24/7, subject to maintenance.
