Founded in 2024 by 22-year-old Paris-born entrepreneur Raphaël Pena, proprietary trading firm XFunded has announced the expansion of its activities in Dubai and its growing collaborations with leading trading influencers across Europe and social media platforms.

XFunded provides traders with access to capital ranging from $10,000 to $300,000 through its evaluation model, while offering payout solutions that are processed within 48 hours. In its first year of operation, the company reports having distributed more than $1.2 million in trader payouts.

In 2024, XFunded's customer support team was officially recognized for its responsiveness, setting a new benchmark in the prop firm sector. By 2025, the firm had been voted among the most trusted prop firms by trading influencers on Telegram and Instagram, confirming its position as a partner of choice for content creators who share their trading activity online.

"Our aim has always been to provide simple, transparent rules and timely payouts so that traders can focus on performance," said Raphaël Pena, founder and CEO of XFunded. "Collaborating with trading educators and influencers allows us to better understand and support the communities they represent."

Business Model and Rules

Once funded, traders can access accounts on MT5 or cTrader, with no spreads or trading commissions and support available 24/7.

According to the company, around 35% of its revenue is allocated to client payouts, a figure which has emerged as an industry average for balancing trader profitability with firm sustainability.
