Short answer: Typical crypto prop firms fund BTC/ETH/altcoin perpetuals on a centralized-exchange-style feed. Memecoin Funded funds spot memecoin trading on Solana DEX pools — the coins, venues and price action memecoin traders actually use.
Why most crypto prop firms don’t allow memecoins
A prop firm needs a reliable price to grade you on. Large-cap perpetuals have deep order books and one clear price. Memecoins trade in AMM pools where the price you get depends on your size and the pool’s liquidity, and new coins appear every minute. Most firms simply leave them out. That’s why you’ll usually find, at most, a handful of big meme tickers listed as perps.
How Memecoin Funded handles it
- Live pool pricing: every fill uses the coin’s current pool reserves, so a large buy on a thin pool gets a worse price, exactly like on-chain.
- Liquidity floor: $10,000 minimum pool size; one trade can use at most 2% of pool SOL.
- Real costs: 0.75% swap fee + 0.001 SOL priority fee per fill.
- Equity-based limits: loss limits check open positions at live prices every 30 seconds.
