The short answer
Cashed is a crypto-native, no-KYC firm designed for traders seeking instant payouts and anonymous execution on a proprietary platform. Velotrade is a multi-asset firm using DXtrade, offering a more traditional structure with weekly payouts but stricter prohibitions on strategies like Martingale.
Where they actually differ
- Assets (Style): This is the main divide. Cashed is strictly for Crypto (including prediction markets). Velotrade is multi-asset, offering Forex, Stocks, Indices, Commodities, and ETFs alongside Crypto.
- Identity and KYC (Rules): Cashed does not require identity documents or selfies. Velotrade requires a verified identity and a single registered profile per trader.
- Payout Speed (Payout): Cashed offers "Instant" accounts where the first payout is available after reaching 1% closed profit with no waiting period. Velotrade requires 14 days from the first trade and 5 profitable days for the initial payout.
- Platforms (Platform): Cashed uses its own proprietary platform. Velotrade uses DXtrade (with API access available).
- Trading Styles (Style): Cashed allows Martingale and Grid strategies. Velotrade explicitly prohibits Martingale, Grid, and "abusive overleveraging."
- Price (Price): Cashed has a much lower barrier to entry, with accounts starting at $5. Velotrade’s cheapest entry point is approximately $40 (Pro 1-Step $5k).
- Drawdown (Risk): While both are static, Cashed's drawdown never resets after payouts. Velotrade resets the balance and floor when moving from Phase 1 to Phase 2.
Where they are basically the same
- Price: Both offer competitive pricing for $100k accounts (Cashed ~$1000 for Standard, Velotrade ~$769 for 2-Step).
- Risk: Both firms use Static Drawdown (it does not trail your peaks), providing more breathing room than trailing models.
- Payouts: Both use Crypto (USDC/USDT) as the primary method for distributions.
- Platforms: Both offer mobile-friendly access, though through different technology providers.
- Styles: Both allow News Trading and holding positions over the weekend (with minor restrictions on Velotrade stocks).
