2 hours ago

On March 13, crypto proprietary trading firm Velotrade—founded by former derivatives traders from JPMorgan, Dresdner Kleinwort, and Bank of America—announced the launch of its crypto prop trading platform. Traders on the platform can operate accounts ranging from $5,000 to $200,000 without using their own capital and receive a share of profits. Velotrade noted its team previously ran a fintech trade finance platform that has paid out $25 billion in total to clients since 2016. The new platform will exclusively support crypto asset trading, utilizing AI hedging tools and institutional liquidity bridging. It will sync real-market position replication with traders’ profits to build a business model tied to traders’ earnings, and offers up to 6x leverage for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
