Samuel Drnda, CEO of HyroTrader, has established the firm as a significant entity in the field of crypto proprietary trading. HyroTrader, a CFD crypto trading platform, was launched in 2022, attracting over 3,000 customers. The firm has pioneered the integration with Bybit through a custom API, a feature later adopted by other firms, which underscores its innovative approach.
Drnda's entry into the trading and crypto sector was facilitated through his work with a performance marketing agency for brokers and crypto platforms. This exposure provided him with insights into the trading industry, leading to the creation of HyroTrader. His experience at a traditional prop firm in Prague highlighted the lack of equivalent support for crypto traders compared to forex traders, prompting the development of HyroTrader.
The primary challenge for HyroTrader was establishing a robust integration with Bybit. This required extensive collaboration with Bybit’s development team to create a reliable API connection. This integration significantly differentiated HyroTrader from competitors in the market.
HyroTrader's model is designed to provide traders with substantial trading capital. The process involves:
Application for a trading challenge. Payment of a fee, refundable upon the first profit split. Access to a funded account upon successful challenge completion with consistent profits and risk management.

This model supports traders in learning discipline and risk management, while allowing them to scale trading capital up to $1 million.
The outlook for the crypto market by 2025 is positive, with institutional investors increasingly participating through ETFs. This expansion highlights the importance of disciplined trading strategies in a 24/7 market environment.
Risk management is crucial in prop trading, focusing on small, consistent gains. HyroTrader enforces strict rules to protect capital, ensuring traders and the firm are safeguarded from significant losses.
HyroTrader provides educational resources, mentorship, and a custom dashboard for detailed trading statistics. The firm has funded over 700 traders, processed $2 million in payouts, and built a community of 30,000 users worldwide. It also hosts international events and competitions.
HyroTrader plans to expand to multiple exchanges and develop a decentralized vault protocol to transparently record traders’ challenges and results on the blockchain. This transparency will help scale the firm’s operations and improve trader verification.
