A proprietary trading company has reported measurable financial gains after switching part of its payment infrastructure to cryptocurrency, offering a practical template for fintech firms reconsidering card-only models.
PropShopTrader, an Estonia-based prop trading firm, integrated CryptoProcessing by CoinsPaid to address growing friction with traditional card payments — including high processing fees, chargeback exposure, and limited reach for its globally distributed trader base.
The article on Finance Magnates discusses how the integration enabled PropShopTrader to accept more than 20 cryptocurrencies while automatically converting incoming funds into USDC or fiat, eliminating volatility risk without sacrificing the flexibility of blockchain-based transactions.

Results followed quickly. Roughly 7 percent of clients began funding accounts with crypto shortly after launch. The company also reported a reduction of around 3 percent in average transaction costs and a revenue increase of approximately 5 percent, attributed to improved conversion rates and wider accessibility.
Compliance was a key factor in the decision. Operating under EU regulation, PropShopTrader required built-in AML monitoring, transaction screening, and transparent reporting — all provided within CryptoProcessing's infrastructure.
Ashley Kozak, Founder and Managing Partner at PropShopTrader, noted that the integration changed how the business approaches payments entirely, citing reduced chargebacks, optimised fees, and expanded global access as the standout benefits.
The case reinforces a broader point: crypto payment adoption does not need to be universal to deliver real financial impact. Even partial uptake — when supported by the right infrastructure — can translate into lower costs and stronger conversion.
