Instant Funding Unveils Plans For New Cryptocurrency Platform, IF Crypto
Please note that we are not authorised to provide any investment advice. The content on this page is for information purposes only.
In a recent announcement, proprietary trading firm Instant Funding disclosed its intention to launch a new cryptocurrency platform, IF Crypto, in the coming month. Along with this initiative, the firm also introduced the name of its forthcoming brokerage service, IF Pro.
The company confirmed that it had joined many other challenge-based retail trading firms that recently received licenses to run contracts-for-difference (CFD) businesses. The firm said these operations were set up in Saint Lucia, a place the company described as becoming more attractive for this kind of business.
Instant Funding Builds Excitement For IF Crypto Launch
Instant Funding said it was building anticipation for the May launch of IF Crypto by offering early access registrations. These sign-ups, according to the company, would provide users with updates on product development and give them priority access once the platform is officially launched.
The firm expressed, via social media, that interest from the community in the upcoming crypto platform was already strong. It encouraged its followers to share the early access opportunity with individuals who might be interested in its cryptocurrency services.
While noting that cryptocurrencies were not yet widely adopted in the proprietary trading sector, the company pointed out that some firms had recently entered the space. It referenced Hydra Funding’s move to include Bitcoin and other digital assets in late 2023, and Klein Funding’s more recent partnership with Bybit, a major global crypto exchange.
According to Instant Funding, its most notable development was the launch of its own brokerage, IF Pro. The company said it was working on two distinct financial offerings—IF Crypto, focused on digital assets, and IF Pro, its newly introduced brokerage arm. It also said IF Pro had been formally announced the previous week.
Instant Funding Provides Updates On IF Pro’s Features
In its April 17 announcement, the firm explained that additional details regarding IF Pro’s features, functions, and expected launch timeline would be shared in the near future.
The company also confirmed that IF Pro Ltd is officially registered and licensed in Saint Lucia. It noted that this jurisdiction has become increasingly popular among proprietary trading firms, drawing comparisons to other offshore locations such as the Island of Comoros.
When addressing the motivation behind launching its own brokerage, Instant Funding said the primary reasons were regulatory compliance and the ability to support clients using MetaTrader 4 and 5 platforms.
The company recalled that it had already announced its return to MetaTrader in February, following the acquisition of its own main label license. This, it suggested, implied that the brokerage license had likely been obtained earlier, though the development of the IF Pro brand was only now being formally disclosed.
The firm concluded by acknowledging that details about the new entity remained limited. Instant Funding said it was not yet clear whether IF Pro would operate as an independent FX/CFD brokerage for retail traders or function solely as a licensed provider for other proprietary trading firms.
