Axcera Wins Best Enterprise Prop Trading Infrastructure 2026 at the Finance Magnates Awards
What a night in Limassol. On November 6, 2026, Axcera was named Best Enterprise Prop Trading Infrastructure 2026 at the Finance Magnates Awards. Axcera Co-Founder Herman Shaho took the stage at the Gala Dinner and Ceremony to accept the trophy on behalf of the whole team, and we have not stopped smiling since.
This is our second Finance Magnates award in two years, following Best Prop Trading Technology Provider 2025. One win is a moment. Two in a row tells us the work is landing with the people it is built for: you.
"Two years in a row at the Finance Magnates Awards is a proud moment for our team, but the category is what matters most to us. Enterprise infrastructure is what prop firms rely on when volumes are real and there is no room for error. Our job is to make sure the technology underneath a firm is never the reason it cannot grow. This award tells us we are doing that job well. Now we raise the bar again."
Herman Shaho, Co-Founder, Axcera
You voted. The experts weighed in.
Finance Magnates decides its winners with a combined score: 50% community voting and 50% evaluation by an independent panel of senior industry figures. For B2B categories like ours, industry professionals voted through Finance Magnates channels between September 28 and October 16, 2026.
In other words, half of this result came straight from the industry. Each brand can win only one award, in the category where it scores highest, and ours landed in enterprise infrastructure. You can read the full process in Finance Magnates' official guide to the 2026 awards and see every winner on the Finance Magnates Awards 2026 winners page.
If you voted for Axcera, thank you. This one is partly yours.
What does "enterprise prop trading infrastructure" actually mean?
Here is the short version. Enterprise prop trading infrastructure is everything your firm runs on around its trading platforms: account provisioning, challenge and evaluation commerce, real-time rule checks, risk monitoring, KYC, payouts, reporting, and the integrations that tie it all together. The "enterprise" part is simple. It keeps working as your accounts, platforms, and team grow, without you having to rebuild it.
If you run a prop firm, you probably know the feeling. The trading platform is rarely what breaks first. It is everything around it: manual breach reviews, payouts checked in spreadsheets, and integrations that need rework every time you add a platform.
That is the operational layer Axcera is built to carry.
- Accounts that run themselves, at volume. Creating, upgrading, and managing accounts should not depend on manual steps. Axcera-powered firms process more than 250,000 new trading accounts per month, and around 95% of operational workflows can run without manual intervention. When something does need a person, Event Triggers and our API bring the right information to your team, so human judgment stays where it matters.
- Risk controls that inform decisions. Trading rules are configured once and enforced consistently across every account, while RiskGuard monitors activity, tracks breaches, and supports payout reviews. A rule event gives your reviewers something to examine, not a verdict on a trader. For firms that want specialist analysis on top, our direct integration with RUBIK connects platform data with its professional risk desk.
- Payout rules you choose, not rules you inherit. Payout conditions live in configuration, not in someone's head: different conditions per program, and different conditions and caps at each payout cycle, applied the same way to every request. Eligibility is read from the account's own performance, so the answer a trader receives is the answer their rules produce. We break down what each rule controls in our guide to prop firm payout rules.
- Room to grow into new markets. Run forex, CFDs, futures, and crypto from one operational core, with more than 100 integrations across trading platforms and technology providers, including cTrader, Match-Trader, MetaTrader 5, DXTrade, TradeLocker, NinjaTrader, Rithmic, and Tradovate. Through our partnership with Plaee, you can also add simulated prediction market trading while continuing to manage traders, risk, and payouts through Axcera.
- Freedom to build on top. Our OpenAPI lets your development team connect its own systems and build tools or trader experiences around Axcera's operational core. You keep the freedom over what your traders see; we carry the complexity underneath.
- A launch path for new founders. Founders can start with enterprise infrastructure from day one through our partnership with PropLaunch and RUBIK: PropLaunch handles onboarding and operations, Axcera provides the technology, and RUBIK supports risk management and payout reviews.
Behind every part of it sits 24/7 support coverage. And it all comes back to one idea we hold onto: Axcera adapts to the platform. We do not force the platform to adapt to Axcera.
What does this award mean for you?
We are proud of this trophy. We also know it is not the reason you should choose a technology partner.
An award tells you that the market and an expert panel looked closely and liked what they saw. It does not replace your own due diligence. Ask the hard questions: how a provider handles platform changes, how risk rules are enforced, what migration really involves, and how costs behave as you grow. Our guide to the ten questions to ask any prop tech vendor before signing walks through each one.
Then ask us those questions too. We would rather earn your trust in the details than on a stage.
What we build is simple to describe and hard to do well: an operating system for prop firms that want stability, scalability, and predictable economics without rebuilding their technology every year. The numbers behind the platform today include $750M+ in total partner revenue and 2M+ unique traders onboarded.
Two years, two trophies
Our first came in November 2025, when we were named Best Prop Trading Technology Provider 2025 at the Finance Magnates Annual Awards, held at Carob Mill in Limassol. This year's award is more specific and to us more meaningful. It recognizes enterprise-grade infrastructure, which is exactly the part of the market Axcera is built to serve.
Thank you
To our clients and partners: you trust Axcera with the systems your businesses run on every day. We do not take that lightly. To everyone who voted, and to the judges: thank you for your time. And to the Axcera team, who build, support, and improve this platform around the clock: this trophy belongs to you.
