Prop Twitter had its jaws on the floor when @jadecap_ announced what could be the biggest single payout in prop firm history: a staggering $2.55 million, reportedly paid out by Apex Trader Funding.
“I just received the BIGGEST single payout in prop firm history from @ApexTradeFund this morning. A lifetime of consistent efforts, battling through the darkest moments of life, self-doubt, depression, anger… It all happens for a purpose. Keep going.”
— @jadecap_ on X (April 17, 2025)
And just like that, the conversation shifted.
Was it real?
Was it verified?
Was it… repeatable?
The trader behind the tweet is Kyle, founder of Jade Capital FX, and if his track record and confidence are anything to go by, he’s not bluffing.
From Darkness to Record Books — In His Own Words
In this interview, which dropped right around the same time, Kyle walks viewers through his entire journey. From battling personal demons like burnout and depression to building a consistent, scalable trading edge, the video feels less like a flex and more like a blueprint for survival in the prop world.
“A lot of people think you need a fancy strategy. What you really need is control. Mental clarity. The ability to stay neutral.”
He shares how he scaled across multiple firms, managed risk during emotionally volatile markets, and ultimately why prop trading rewards those who stay disciplined when no one’s watching.
What Makes This Payout Different?
Beyond the number itself—which hasn’t been officially confirmed by Apex but is widely discussed—this payout hits different because it:
- Represents multi-firm scaling done right.
- Was allegedly paid in full, no clawbacks, no delays.
- Came with zero promo, no affiliate links, no launch—just one tweet and one video.
In an industry often flooded with flex culture and exaggeration, Kyle’s approach has been surprisingly low-key. And that makes the story even more compelling.
Beyond the Chart: Why This Matters for the Prop World
This isn’t just about $2.5 million. It’s about what’s possible.
Kyle’s story challenges some of the most stubborn narratives in prop trading:
- That big payouts are a myth.
- That you can’t win long-term across multiple firms.
- That prop is a hustle, not a career.
His journey is proof that, with the right mindset, structure, and emotional discipline, you can turn this game into something serious.
So What’s Next for Kyle?
We wouldn’t be surprised if:
- Jade Capital FX drops a mentorship or fund.
- He becomes the unofficial face of Apex.
- Or… he disappears back into the charts and does it again, silently.
Either way, the message has landed: prop trading is evolving, and so are the players.
Stay tuned — PropInsider will be watching who the next record-breaker might be.
