In 2025, the prop trading world is booming — and rapidly evolving.
With more retail traders entering the space, the industry is seeing a shift: instant funding is gaining popularity. It promises traders fast-track access to capital with minimal friction.
But here’s the real question: Is instant funding the future? Or is challenge-based funding — like what Monevis offers — still the superior model?
Let’s dive in.
Instant funding allows traders to bypass the traditional two-phase evaluation model and receive a funded account right away — usually after paying a higher, non-refundable fee.
It sounds great on paper:
But the reality is more nuanced — especially for traders who want to stay funded long-term.
Let’s compare both funding styles side-by-side to see which offers real value to serious traders:
Feature | Instant Funding | Monevis Challenge Model |
Entry Speed | Immediate | Structured 2-Phase Process |
Cost | Higher upfront fee, often non-refundable | Lower cost, fully refundable after passing |
Risk Tolerance | Very strict drawdowns | Balanced risk rules to allow trader growth |
Payout Potential | Often capped or scaled slowly | Competitive scaling plan & rapid payouts |
Trader Development | Little to no training or preparation | Builds discipline, consistency, and mindset |
At Monevis, we’re focused on building funded traders for the long haul — not just offering a quick win.
Here’s why the challenge model continues to outperform instant funding for long-term success:
The Monevis challenge phases are designed to mirror the realities of trading for a living. They teach consistency, patience, and emotional control — essential traits for any serious trader.
Instead of risking it all in a few impulsive trades, traders learn to work within rules. That’s how real professionals operate.
With our scaling plan, weekly payouts, and monthly bonuses, Monevis gives traders a path to build serious capital — something instant-funded models often restrict.
Passing a challenge proves you’re not just lucky — you’re skilled. That’s what makes Monevis traders elite.
While the “get-funded-today” model appeals to beginners, it can come with major downsides:
For traders who are serious about growing, not gambling, challenge-based funding offers a much smarter path.
In a word? No.
Instant funding is a shortcut — but it’s not a solution.
The challenge model remains the industry gold standard for a reason:
It produces real, consistent traders. And in an industry where capital protection is king, that matters more than speed.
Monevis continues to stand by its challenge model because it works. It’s not just about funding you — it’s about mentoring, growing, and paying you as a professional.
The flashy appeal of instant funding will always tempt some traders — but if you want true funding, real support, and long-term opportunity, the challenge model at Monevis is the clear winner.
You don’t need instant access to win big — you need the right roadmap.
