Trust & Safety
As a newly launched prop firm, DNA Funded is still building its reputation. However, its partnership with DNA Markets, regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), ensures segregation of funds, negative balance protection, and compliance with global trading standards.
The firm has introduced rules such as a 40% daily profit cap and reduced leverage on stock CFDs, reflecting a focus on sustainable trading practices.
Community engagement also contributes to trust, with over 600 Discord members and active social media presence on Instagram and X (Twitter).
