Rules:
To join the competition, participants need to opt in (click Join/Enter competition) on this page and enter their nickname.
Participants will be ranked on a public Leaderboard accessible on this page, updated regularly to reflect current standings.
The Participants’ total trading volume will only be counted for trading positions opened by eligible participants within the competition period.
The prize pool depends on the cumulative trading volume achieved by all registered participants during the competition period. The minimal total prize pool is 20,000 USDT and can grow to 200,000 USDT. The current trading volume level and prize pool are displayed on this page. To unlock the minimum prize pool of 20,000 USDT, participants’ total cumulative trading volume must reach at least 20,000,000 USD.
Only trading volume generated from CEX.IO Margin Trading (through the web platform or CEX.IO App) will be counted towards the competition score.
Only the top 10 traders on the final Leaderboard, based on their margin trading volume, will be eligible to share the prize pool.
In addition to the Leaderboard prizes, 10 random participants who have completed at least one (1) margin trade during the competition period will also receive prizes. The value of these random prizes will also scale up based on the collective total trading volume achieved by all participants.

Besides Trading Competition rewards, new CEX.IO users can earn bonuses to their Margin Trading Fee Balance — a separate USDC balance used only to cover trading fees (not withdrawable). To qualify, log in or sign up, click “Join/Enter Competition,” set your nickname, and make a crypto purchase or deposit of at least $100. You’ll then receive an in-app notification about your bonus.

Any trading pairs that have permanent or temporary commission fee discounts (or any other deviations from the standard fee structure) are excluded from the competition. Trading pairs that simultaneously participate in other promotions may also be excluded. CEX.IO reserves the right to exclude and not count trading volume generated from such pairs, or to annul it within the framework of the competition.
The usage of the automatic Trading Fee Balance for covering trading fees is strictly limited to $100 for competition purposes. If a participant’s cumulative trading fees automatically covered by the Trading Fee Balance exceeds $100, CEX.IO reserves the right to exclude and not count any subsequent trading volume generated corresponding to the fees covered by the balance (past the $100 threshold) towards the participant’s official competition metrics (e.g., total volume or volume-based ranking).
