Through the program, traders can earn the opportunity to trade live futures markets using Topstep's capital. The company positions itself as trader-first and community-minded, emphasizing ownership and accountability within a diverse community. In April 2026, Topstep announced the acquisition of The Futures Desk, a development reflecting ongoing expansion of its platform and capabilities.
