OANDA Prop Trader is a program that enables self-directed traders to become signal providers, on a profit-sharing basis, to the firm’s proprietary trading business. To qualify for the program, participants need to purchase and complete a Challenge. Through the Challenge, potential signal providers demonstrate their ability to generate profits and manage risk. With a variety of payment methods, participants can now purchase a Challenge with cryptocurrencies* and start assessing their trading skills immediately.

Lucian Lauerman, Head of Digital Assets and Deputy COO at OANDA, commented, "We’re pleased to announce that we’re adding crypto as a payment method in response to rising global demand. A large number of "tech-driven consumers" in the countries serviced by OANDA Prop Trader are embracing cryptocurrencies, so this is opening new doors for those traders who want to maximise the digital economy as a gateway into prop trading.”
