What a “Bybit prop firm” actually means
Bybit perpetuals are a default home for leveraged crypto traders. ZoneX Challenges can be configured on Bybit live market data, with the same one-phase rulebook used everywhere else.
Bybit itself does not fund traders. What traders search for is a proprietary trading firm whose evaluation runs on the Bybit market they already trade — and, ideally, one that also lets them keep trading their own Bybit account in the same interface. That is what ZoneX provides.
Perpetual futures traders who size positions around Bybit liquidity and want a funded-stage review without risking their own balance during the evaluation.
How the ZoneX Challenge works
1. Build your Challenge
Pick Bybit as your market, your account size between $5,000 to $400,000, spot or futures, and your performance split.
2. Pass one simulated phase
Hit the profit target without breaching the daily drawdown floor or total loss limit. No minimum trading days, no deadline, no consistency rule.
3. Funded-stage review
Passing opens a review. A funded arrangement starts only once the funded-stage documents are accepted and the account is activated.
- Every trade needs a stop-loss; risk per trade is capped by your trading style.
- A fixed daily drawdown floor recalculates from each new daily starting balance at 02:00 CET.
- Free Challenge retry is available under the published retry conditions.
- Performance split is the percentage selected at purchase, and applies only after a separate funded-stage review.
Simulated evaluation vs. your own Bybit account
Challenge: a paid simulated evaluation. It prices against Bybit live market data, but orders never reach Bybit and evaluation profits are not withdrawable.
ZoneX Terminal: free, non-custodial software. Connect your own Bybit account via API — trading enabled, withdrawals disabled — and your assets stay on Bybit.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a prop firm for Bybit traders?
Yes. ZoneX is an exchange-agnostic crypto prop trading firm and Bybit is one of its 10 supported exchanges. You choose Bybit when you configure your Challenge, and the evaluation runs as a simulated account on Bybit live market data.
Do my orders go to Bybit during the Challenge?
No. A ZoneX Challenge is always a simulated evaluation. It uses Bybit live market data for pricing, but no order reaches Bybit and no money of yours is traded. Live execution on your own Bybit account happens only in the standalone ZoneX Terminal, using your own API connection.
Can I connect my own Bybit account?
Yes, in the free ZoneX Terminal. You create an API key on Bybit with trading enabled and withdrawals disabled, and your assets stay in your own Bybit account. That is separate from any Challenge you purchase.
How do I get a funded Bybit trading account?
You pass one simulated evaluation phase under the published Challenge Rules. Passing does not automatically create a funded arrangement: it opens a review, and a funded stage begins only after the funded-stage documents are accepted and the account is activated.
