$598M distributed. Also: mass bans,
payout vlogs, and a six-payout cap.
Apex has distributed more than any futures funder — and 2025 brought reported mass bans of profitable traders, payout-verification videos, and disputes reaching legal action; the March 2026 relaunch caps accounts at six lifetime payouts. An EventTrader account has no payout count, because withdrawing your own balance isn't a payout.
Your money, your account
No evaluation fee, no challenge rules, no payout committee. You trade your own balance and withdraw it whenever you want.
Payouts you can prove
Every withdrawal settles on-chain with a transaction hash — a public record, not a screenshot or a pending queue.
Risk capped by design
Directional prediction markets where the most you can lose is the position you put on. No margin calls, no liquidation engine.
