What to check for this market
Payment & payout
Card payment (SEPA-friendly checkout); payouts via Rise or crypto settle in USD, with EUR shown for reference only.
Regulatory status
BaFin regulates CFD brokers and issuers under ESMA-aligned rules, not simulated-evaluation prop firms — ForRealFunding is not a BaFin-regulated broker and doesn't claim to be.
Tax (general)
German tax treatment of trading profit can fall under flat-rate capital-income tax (Abgeltungsteuer) or business income (gewerbliche Einkünfte) depending on how the activity is classified — this is genuinely contested territory; confirm your position with a Steuerberater.
