New York, USA, October 6th, 2026, FinanceWire

Hola Prime, the global proprietary trading firm known for its 1-Hour Payout model, today announced it has paid out more than $10 million to its funded traders. The milestone caps a period of rapid growth for the firm, which has built its reputation on speed, transparency and consistency in how traders get paid.

Across the $10 million distributed, the average payout to a Hola Prime trader stands at approximately $1,800. The firm’s fastest payout to date was processed in 36 seconds from request to completion, and its highest total payout to a single trader reached $70,776.

“Crossing $10 million isn’t a number we’re celebrating for its own sake. Every dollar of it is a trader who followed the rules, managed their risk and got paid on time.,” said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. “When we launched the 1-Hour Payout, a lot of people in this industry said it couldn’t be done at scale. Ten million dollars later, the data speaks for itself. Our commitment is simple: if you earn it, you get it, and you get it fast.”

Hola Prime’s approach has earned it industry recognition, including Global Most Transparent Prop Firm from Finance Magnates and Fastest Payout Prop Firm MEA at the UF Awards. The firm holds a 4.5 rating on Trustpilot from more than 3,000 reviews.

The $10 million milestone was reached under Hola Prime’s 1 Hour Payout commitment, which measures payout processing from the moment a trader submits a withdrawal request to the release of funds. While many prop firms begin measuring processing time only after a withdrawal has been approved, Hola Prime starts the clock at the point of submission, setting a higher standard for payout speed and accountability. The firm also publishes payout data and challenge pass rates, while its Prime Circle programme gives traders who complete five successful payouts an additional 5% on every subsequent payout.

“Ten million is a milestone, not a finish line,” Somesh Kapuria added. “Our next target is to get there again in a fraction of the time, and to keep proving that a prop firm can be fast, transparent and fair all at once.”

Available from October 6, 2026, the 12 stocks and 8 ETFs extend STARTRADER’s round-the-clock access across South Korea, Hong Kong and the US.

STARTRADER has launched 20 new Stock and ETF CFDs on its MT5 servers, tradable Monday to Sunday from 00:00 to 24:00 (GMT+3 platform time). The launch focuses on the companies supplying the physical infrastructure behind AI, and half of the 20 are listed in Seoul or Hong Kong, where sessions close before US markets open. Extended trading hours may allow clients to access these CFD products outside the regular trading hours of the underlying exchanges, subject to applicable trading conditions. 

Seven additions provide exposure to companies and products associated with the high-bandwidth memory (HBM) and DRAM supply chain, including Samsung Electro-Mechanics (SAMSUNGEMUSD) and Hanmi Semiconductor (HANMIUSD), together with five products offering 2x leveraged exposure, including long and short exposure to SK hynix (SKUUUSD, CSOPSKHYNIX2LUSD, SKDDUSD), and long exposure on Samsung Electronics (CSOPSAMSUNG2LUSD) and exposure to the DRAM sector (RAMUSD).

Five additions provide exposure to companies and an ETF associated with areas of AI data-centre infrastructure, including Zhongji Innolight (ZHONGJIUSD), which completed a US$6.8 billion Hong Kong listing in July, the Roundhill Photonics & Optics ETF (LYTEUSD), Vistra (VSTUSD) in power generation, Cloudflare (NETUSD) in edge computing and LG Electronics (LGELECTRONICSUSD) in liquid cooling.

The remaining eight additions are Naver (NAVERUSD), the KODEX 200 ETF (KODEX200USD), Kuaishou (KUAISHOUUSD), Meituan (MEITUANUSD), the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (GDXUSD), Moderna (MRNAUSD), Trump Media & Technology Group (DJTUSD) and Shopify (SHOPUSD).

“Interest in AI has moved down the stack, from the companies that design chips to the ones that supply their memory, optics, power and cooling. This launch follows it there, with a deliberate focus on Asia, where many of those companies are listed.” – Peter Karsten, CEO, STARTRADER

The launch follows the 49-symbol expansion announced in September and adds further instruments from Asian equity markets to STARTRADER’s trading offering. Further additions may be considered based on market developments, product availability and applicable trading conditions. 

Risk Warning: CFDs are complex instruments and carry a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Leveraged and inverse ETFs generally seek to provide amplified or inverse daily performance relative to their stated benchmark and may produce materially different results over longer holding periods. Trading outside home-market hours may involve wider spreads and lower liquidity. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Disclaimer: This information is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice or a recommendation to trade. Product availability, trading hours, leverage and applicable conditions may vary by jurisdiction and account type. CFDs involve a high risk of loss, and clients should consider whether trading is appropriate for their circumstances.
