Samuel Drnda Launches Evaluation-Based Crypto Prop Trading Firm, HyroTrader

Press Release • September 23, 2024

Samuel Drnda, an accomplished tech entrepreneur and founder of HyroTrader, has launched his latest venture: a platform that offers experienced crypto traders the opportunity to prove their skills through an innovative evaluation-based system.


Samuel Drnda, now 27, is quickly establishing himself as one of the visionary tech founders reshaping industries. With HyroTrader, his latest venture, Samuel aims to solve a pressing challenge for skilled crypto traders: providing meaningful trading opportunities without the need to risk large amounts of personal capital.


A Serial Entrepreneur Turned Innovator in Crypto Trading


Samuel’s entrepreneurial journey began early, mirroring the paths of some of the most successful tech founders. At just 20 years old, he co-developed an artificial intelligence and robotic process automation tool tailored for social media. His innovation rapidly attracted thousands of clients, showcasing his ability to spot market needs and build scalable solutions.


By the age of 22, Samuel had founded a performance marketing agency, specializing in fast-growing industries such as crypto, forex, gaming, and SaaS. Under his leadership, the agency grew to over 40 employees and generated millions in monthly revenue for its clients. Despite this success, Samuel realized he wanted to shift his focus from developing products for others to building something entirely his own.


Discovering a Passion for Crypto and Trading


Like many successful tech entrepreneurs, Samuel’s next move came from following his passion. In 2022, at 24, he launched HyroTrade, a CFD crypto trading platform that quickly attracted over 3,000 users.

During this time, Samuel also gained valuable insights working as an arbitrage crypto trader at Golem Trading, a Prague-based traditional crypto trading firm. There, he learned from some of the brightest minds in the crypto industry and deepened his understanding of the market. Through these experiences, Samuel recognized the need for a platform that could empower talented crypto traders to prove themselves without having to risk large sums of their own money.


This realization led Samuel to pivot from HyroTrade and launch HyroTrader, an evaluation-based platform specifically designed for crypto traders. Drawing inspiration from the success of forex prop firms like FTMO, HyroTrader gives crypto traders a chance to demonstrate their skills and earn funded accounts through a structured evaluation process.


HyroTrader is also actively developing its own trading aggregator technology, connecting multiple trading exchanges. This will allow traders to manage multiple exchange accounts, view comprehensive trading statistics, and utilize HyroTrader as a versatile tool to assist with trading strategies.


Providing Simulated Capital, Creating Real Opportunities


HyroTrader offers traders the opportunity to access up to $200,000 in simulated capital through a two-step evaluation process. Rather than providing real capital from the outset, the platform enables traders to showcase their abilities in a low-risk environment. Traders who meet the platform’s requirements—a 10% profit in the first stage, followed by a 5% gain in the second—qualify for a funded account, allowing them to retain 70-90% of the profits they generate.


In addition to the trading platform, HyroTrader has launched educational courses and crypto trading competitions, where traders can compete against each other to win prizes. The platform also offers an educational mentorship program, enabling traders to book consultations with experienced mentors, enhancing their skills and knowledge.


A Self-Funded Vision, Built on Independence


HyroTrader’s growth has been entirely self-funded, with Samuel declining offers from external investors. He believes that maintaining full control and independence is key to ensuring that the platform remains focused on serving its users.


HyroTrader’s future is rooted in being community-driven, with decisions guided by the needs and feedback of its traders rather than by outside investors. This reflects Samuel’s long-term vision of HyroTrader as more than just a trading firm—it’s a transparent, trader-first ecosystem that evolves alongside its user base.

Traders on HyroTrader will connect through their own verified accounts from multiple exchanges, ensuring that their trading activity is secure and legitimate.


Drawing Inspiration from Visionary Entrepreneurs


Samuel Drnda’s career path echoes that of other tech visionaries who have disrupted industries by providing innovative solutions to existing market problems. His entrepreneurial journey—from developing AI tools to running a successful marketing agency, and now, transforming the crypto trading space—reflects a deep understanding of both business and technology.


Samuel’s mission with HyroTrader is to create a platform that levels the playing field for traders worldwide. Much like how tech founders in other industries have democratized access to resources and opportunities, HyroTrader aims to offer traders the chance to prove their worth based on skill and strategy, not on how much capital they can afford to risk.


HyroTrader also plans to expand its reach into Asia and the Middle East, tapping into the rapidly growing markets in these regions, which boast millions of active traders and substantial trading volumes.

Positioned for Long-Term Success


In just 12 months since its August 2023 launch, HyroTrader has already gained over 3,800 traders and paid out more than $450,000 to successful traders. With a 51% month-on-month revenue growth and plans to support trading on the top 10 global crypto exchanges, HyroTrader is positioned for rapid expansion.



The firm’s unique evaluation-based model, emphasis on transparency, and commitment to building a community-driven platform are all key factors positioning HyroTrader as a future leader in the crypto prop trading space. With millions of active crypto traders worldwide and only a small number of competitors, HyroTrader has the potential to disrupt the market in much the same way that tech founders in other industries have revolutionized theirs.

$BULLISH Targets a $5B Milestone: “Bullish Manifesto” Launches a Solana Meme Coin campaign to Flip the Bullish Stock

By Press Release • December 22, 2025
A new Solana meme coin, $BULLISH, has launched with a clear, headline-friendly target: flip the market cap of Bullish (BLSH), a public company the project describes as sitting around the $5B mark.  The campaign is being introduced alongside a narrative article titled “The Bullish Manifesto,” written by Patrick, which argues that traditional capital formation often ends the same way: early money exits near the top while retail buyers arrive late and absorb the drawdown. The manifesto angle In “The Bullish Manifesto,” Patrick claims “big money exited at the top” of $BLSH while retail kept buying and was left to suffer, a pattern he says shows up repeatedly across IPO cycles. He says the thesis pushed him to exit his entire $BLSH position and pivot into a public experiment with one goal: “Demonstrate, in real time, that a meme coin version can outperform every traditional capital stack that came before it, starting by flipping the $BLSH stock valued at $5.6B MC.” Why the campaign is leaning into the GameStop playbook The story is designed to feel familiar to anyone who watched the GameStop era unfold.c The $BULLISH narrative points to a moment when crowd conviction challenged institutional positioning and turned a “far-fetched” outcome into a market event. It also name-checks the archetype of the retail catalyst: Roaring Kitty, whose posts became synonymous with collective belief and a refusal to back down. In the project’s framing, it was another reminder that large institutions can take outsized risks while ordinary people live with the consequences. $BULLISH positions itself as a crypto-native remix of that energy: a simple ticker, a simple mission, and a community goal that can be understood in one sentence. The scoreboard: $BLSH vs $BULLISH At the time of writing (per the project’s own comparison), Bullish (BLSH) sits around a $5B market cap, while $BULLISH sits near $20M. The campaign argues that “flipping the stock” implies a roughly 250x move from current levels, while acknowledging the core memecoin reality: outcomes depend on attention, liquidity, and sustained community momentum.

The brand leans into a simple mission: keep the energy bullish, keep building, and keep showing up, even when markets get ugly. Bullish Degen focuses on community identity through visual culture, official merchandise, and interactive tooling like its PFP generator, all hosted on Bullish Degen . The project’s rallying cry is direct and meme-native: “You’re not bullish enough.” For real-time updates and announcements, follow X .

Wiener App Launches on iOS Bringing Real-Time “Signals, Not Noise” to Solana Traders

By Press Release • December 10, 2025
Wiener , a new mobile analytics platform for the Solana ecosystem, has launched globally on the Apple App Store. The app converts Solana’s continuous on-chain activity stream into a curated set of actionable signals designed for everyday market participants.  Solana’s low fees and high throughput have made it one of the busiest networks in the digital-asset sector. The same speed, however, generates an overwhelming volume of data. Wiener aims to make that information more accessible by filtering and ranking on-chain events in real time. This strategy presents only the developments most likely to influence market attention. “Most retail traders do not need more dashboards. They need clarity,” said Tetiana Kvashuk, creator of the Wiener app. “The goal is to surface meaningful events the moment they occur, without requiring users to sit inside terminals all day.” A Push-First Approach to Market Intelligence Wiener operates on a notification-driven model. Subscribers receive alerts on emerging tokens, unusual on-chain behaviour, wallet activity, and momentum changes across the Solana landscape. These signals come in real time. This means users can see how the market is moving without having to constantly check social media or analytics sites. Token profiles in the app give users quick looks at liquidity, ownership concentration, recent activity, and basic safety indicators. The layout is simple on purpose so that it is easy to read instead of having complicated charts. Advanced users can access modules such as Fresh Wallets, Good Traders, Bots, Whale Map, KOLs, and X Stats. These tools highlight newly active addresses, historically effective trading patterns, automated trading behaviour, large-holder movements, and social-driven shifts. Built for Simplicity, Independent by Design Although Wiener ingests large amounts of blockchain data, its interface is structured around a small set of metrics. This system is designed to allow for quick data interpretation, rather than overwhelming users. All buying and selling happens outside of the app on platforms that the user chooses. Wiener's published privacy policy says that it is not an exchange, wallet, or custodial service. To clarify: Wiener does not store or move crypto assets. This separation lets the project focus only on analytics and notification services. About Wiener Wiener is a mobile analytics app focused on real-time alerts and simplified on-chain insights for the Solana blockchain. The combination of continuous monitoring with structured filtering is at the core of this initiative. In fact, the app aims to help retail participants understand fast-moving markets without relying on complex trading tools. Wiener does not custody assets or execute trades and is not affiliated with the Solana Foundation. Wiener is free to download but requires a subscription to access any functionality. Plans - Basic Weekly, Premium, and Pro - are available through Apple’s in-app purchase system. Pricing varies by region; in the United States, subscriptions currently range from $3.99 per week to $17.99 per month depending on alert volume and feature access. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be managed through the user’s Apple ID settings. The Wiener app is now available for iPhone devices running iOS 13 or later. Anyone can find it under the name “Wiener” in the Finance category of the App Store. Further information is available on the project’s official website and on the social media pages listed below.

REKT Announces Launch of the First Meme Token That Rewards Losing Trades

By Press Release • December 8, 2025
REKT, a meme token built on Solana, officially started its presale event. The project has passed three SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, proving that its staking and claim logic is sound. The team introduces a verified Loss Claim function, allowing traders to convert on-chain losses into $REKT. The Loss Claim Function REKT was created by a trader who lost everything, repeatedly. Instead of quitting, he built a system that turns pain into purpose. $REKT rewards what most cryptocurrencies ignore: real loss, verified on-chain. The Loss Claim feature is the main new thing about the project. The idea is to let wallets receive funds as a partial compensation for real trading losses in approved tokens. Looking at this process with a little more detail, each wallet can make one claim per month. However, such an amount can't be more than 50,000 $REKT. Also, the exact computation of the claim will depend on a so-called "portfolio multiplier". This number can grow with a) wallet age and b) staking activity, rewarding loyal holders. Strict anti-bot filters, cooldowns, and spoof protection ensure every claim is real. The Rage Claim Feature Presale tokens are auto-staked at purchase and vest linearly over six months. Early unlocks are allowed under the Rage Claim mechanism, which burns a portion of tokens based on timing: 20% in week one 15% in weeks two to three 10% in weeks four to six 5% after week six Burned amounts are redistributed: 50% to staking, 25% to treasury, and 25% to the burn wallet. Tokenomics The total supply of $REKT is fixed at 1 billion tokens. There will always be 1 billion tokens of $REKT. Fifty percent of that supply goes to the community presale, which is based on clear milestones instead of insider rounds. Another 15% is set aside for liquidity to keep the DEX stable. Also, 10% goes to the staking pool, while twenty percent goes to the treasury for growth and development. Finally, the remaining five percent goes to community projects, contests, and collaborations. There is a 1% tax on every transaction. This tax is automatically split up: 50% goes to staking rewards, 25% goes to the treasury, and 25% goes to the burn wallet. After burning 200 million $REKT, the supply reduction halts, and the tax splits evenly between staking and treasury. Roadmap The development of REKT follows a clear three-phase plan. The first stage is all about the launch and the base. Smart contracts will be put on Solana and the staking dashboard will go live. Also, SolidProof audits will check all of the systems. The second phase turns on the core logic of REKT. This includes the DEX tax system, tracking of the leaderboard, and the release of Loss Claim v2. This upgrade will come with better wallet multipliers and on-chain filters. The third phase centers on scaling and community growth. At this point, the team will launch NFT-based staking and will work for CEX outreach. Also, the official roadmap mentions more audit rounds that will complete the cycle. This milestone will mark REKT’s full transition from meme to movement. About REKT REKT is a meme token built on Solana that rewards verified losses through a whole new feature. With multiple audits, transparent vesting, and verifiable claim logic, REKT transforms trading failure into blockchain history. REKT's smart contracts have passed three full SolidProof audits and one Coinsult audit, validating both contract safety and claim logic. The upcoming presale will allow anyone to join this upcoming project with its new features. As a major highlight, REKT has recently joined a live AMA event on Binance, sharing key updates and insights with the community. The social media pages and the project’s website are a way to keep in touch with this team and with REKT's upcoming milestones: X (Twitter) | Telegram.
