Prop Firm News Updates

Seacrest Markets has announced that it is shutting down its prop trading business and is no longer operating as a prop firm. As a result, Seacrest Markets is no longer accepting new traders or offering prop trading accounts.

Prop Firm Match has removed Seacrest Markets from its active comparison and verification listings to ensure traders are not relying on outdated or inactive firm information.

This page serves as a status update for traders who may arrive here from previously indexed Seacrest Markets pages on Prop Firm Match.

What Happened

Seacrest Markets has confirmed that it is exiting the prop trading model and transitioning fully to its CFD brokerage operations.

As part of this shutdown:

  • All prop trading accounts and open positions will be closed on February 6, 2026
  • The firm has begun communicating refund and payout instructions to affected traders
  • Traders must take action to request refunds or final payouts before the stated deadlines

This represents a full exit from proprietary trading, not a temporary pause or restructuring.

What Is Affected

  • Traders with active, unbreached challenge accounts may request a 100% refund of their challenge fee
  • Refund requests must be submitted through Seacrest Markets’ official Refund Form
  • Deadline to request refunds: February 28, 2026

Payment Processing Notes

Based on Seacrest Markets’ guidance:

  • Refunds will be processed within 30 days of submission, on a first-come, first-served basis
  • Some refunds may be issued via crypto (USDT TRC20) or bank wire if the original payment method is no longer supported

Traders are encouraged to submit requests as early as possible to avoid processing delays.

Why Prop Firm Match Removed Seacrest Markets

Prop Firm Match continuously monitors the operational status of proprietary trading firms listed on the platform.
