Our Verdict

DNA Funded is assessed here on its published programme terms, costs, platform range and account rules — not on licences, because it holds none of its own. There is no regulator register to check and no client-money protection behind a challenge fee; the safeguards that apply to a licensed broker do not apply here.

DNA Funded advertises execution of Not measured and offers TradeLocker. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
