**Velotrade** is a cryptocurrency funded trading platform headquartered in Hong Kong. We provide skilled traders with access to firm capital — up to $200,000 — without requiring them to risk their personal savings. **Our heritage:** Velotrade was founded by the team behind the original Velotrade invoice financing platform, established in 2016. That business facilitated over USD $2.5 billion in payments globally and was recognised by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority with the "Best SME Invoice Solution, Fintech" award in 2020 **How it works:** Traders purchase a one-time evaluation challenge. Those who pass receive a funded account and keep up to 90% of the profits they generate. Traders never risk personal capital beyond the initial challenge fee. We believe trading success should be earned through skill, not wealth. Velotrade gives traders the capital to prove themselves — and rewards them fairly when they do.

Platform works fine and the dashboard is easy to understand. I failed the challenge becouse of a news event that hit my stop, my fault really. Bought a reset which was reasonably priced. Customer service was helpfull when I had a question about leverage. Will update review once I pass and request my first payout
Enjoyed the trading experience.
Clean and simple platform.
Allows to focus on trading.
The website as well is down to business, no distractions.
It's for the pros...
Good to see new participants in the space.
Clean and simple set up: no frills.
No distractions, so can focus on trading.
The dashboard is not the best looking, but it is functional, so good enough!

Thanks for your kind review Daisy
Scam prop firm
I passed the 1 phase account risking approximately not more than 2% per trade and they said my XAUUSD positions were too large
They would do anything not to give you your account
Their CEO is an Ai .. like who hides his face from his company??
They claimed to have been around since 2016 but no single trader has passed their challenge or even gotten a payout
They are always posting bot giveaways on X😂
Instagram loaded with fake followers that dont engage their post
Please stay away

Hello James,
This is Gianluca Pizzituti, CEO and co‑founder of Velotrade. I am very much a real person, not an AI. A quick search online will show my professional background over more than two decades in trading and fintech.
On your claim that we made up being around since 2016: we have not. Velotrade was founded in Hong Kong in 2016 and has been publicly covered by Bloomberg, the Financial Times, the Wall Street Journal, Nasdaq and Business Insider, among others. Don't take my word for it, just go online and search for yourself.
On the substance of your review, the facts are straightforward and on record.
On 16 April you opened a 15 lot position on XAUTUSD at a price of roughly 4,790. That is a notional exposure of about 71,850 USD. On a 25,000 USD account, with 3x leverage on XAUTUSD, the required margin was close to 23,900 USD, or about 95% of your equity committed to a single ticket. That is what our anti‑gambling rule addresses, and it is clearly set out in our Terms and Conditions.
We had already flagged the same behaviour to you on 14 April, as a courtesy, and asked you to adjust your risk. You acknowledged the warning. Two days later you repeated the exact same conduct. It is also worth noting that the Challenge account in question was issued to you free of charge, so there is no money of yours that we have taken or withheld.
On top of this, the tone of your private messages to our team went well beyond acceptable and civilised business conduct. That is why I am replying personally.
We wish you the best in your trading elsewhere.
Kind regards,
Gianluca Pizzituti
Chief Executive Officer, Velotrade
I recently tried Velotrade and have been genuinely impressed with the platform so far. From the start, the signup and evaluation process was clear and easy to follow — everything feels very professional and transparent, especially when it comes to rules and expectations. It’s refreshing to find a service where the guidelines are straightforward and not overly complicated.

Thank you Fabrizio!
Absolutely blown away by the platform! I joined the pre-launch beta testing phase and from day one, everything has been incredibly slick and professional, yet somehow still fun to use. Finally a prop firm that doesn't feel stiff and corporate! The interface is modern and intuitive, making it easy to navigate even for someone new to prop trading. What really stands out is how they've managed to combine institutional-grade quality with an approachable, user-friendly experience. The design is clean, the features are exactly where you'd expect them to be, and the whole experience just flows naturally. This is exactly what the crypto prop trading space needed!
