Updated 15 October 2026 · receipts reconciled through 15 October 2026 · grid of 13 October 2026 · Roya
Of the 9 prop firms on our Trust Score grid (13 October 2026), 6 pay in USDC by the terms we read or by the receipts we hold — Propr.xyz, Hypernova, Vest Markets, Carrot Funding, Breakout and Cashed — and 3 have actually paid our own accounts in USDC: Propr.xyz, Hypernova and Vest Markets, 55 receipts reconciled by transaction hash as of 15 October 2026. A firm's word is a promise; a hash is a payout — the table below keeps the two apart.
Which prop firms pay in USDC?
Two different answers exist and most lists mix them. What the firms state: USDC is the payout token for Propr.xyz, Hypernova, Vest Markets, Carrot Funding, Breakout and Cashed, by their own terms or by the receipts we hold (each line below is quoted from our reading of the firm's own documents, with its date). What we have proven: Propr.xyz (48× · 7,670.94 USDC · Ethereum), Hypernova (6× · 1,932.09 USDC · Arbitrum), Vest Markets (1× · 11.26 USDC · Arbitrum). Only the second list is evidence — every receipt in it is linked to its transaction on a public block explorer.
The table: payout rail, token, our own receipts
Every firm we score, in Trust Score order. "Payout rail" is the firm's payout line as we read it; "Paid us" links the most recent receipt on our own account, when there is one.
USDC on which chain?
Our own USDC receipts landed on Ethereum and Arbitrum: Propr.xyz on Ethereum, Hypernova on Arbitrum, Vest Markets on Arbitrum. Other chains appear in the firms' own terms in the table above; until a firm pays us there, that column stays a statement, not a reading.
Paying in USDC does not make a firm on-chain. A centralised exchange can send USDC from an address it does not publish, and a centralised terminal can pay in USDC with nothing to read on a chain. What makes a payout verifiable is a published sender, a reserve you can read, and a hash you can open — the on-chain ranking grades exactly that.
How to check a USDC payout yourself
- Ask for the transaction hash — from the firm, or from the trader who posts the payout.
- Open it on the chain's explorer (Etherscan for Ethereum, Arbiscan for Arbitrum) and check the status is success.
- Check the token is the real USDC contract (0xaf88…5831 on Arbitrum, 0xA0b8…eB48 on Ethereum), not a look-alike.
- Check the amount equals the dashboard figure after the profit split, and that the sender is an address the firm has published or used before.
