The CEX.IO Margin Trading Competition is a two-week trading event where participants compete to earn rewards based on their trading volume. The higher your performance, the higher your position on the leaderboard. The prize pool starts at 10,000 USDT and can grow to 50,000 USDT depending on the total trading activity of participants.

In simple words, margin trading allows you to borrow funds to increase your trading capital, offering higher profit potential on market moves. On CEX.IO, you can trade with leverage up to x10, meaning you can increase the amount of your trade by up to 10 times. This also means you can amplify both gains and losses, so trade responsibly. For better risk management, use protection orders, like Stop Loss and Take Profit. Learn more on our Help Centre.

Even if you’ve never traded on margin before, it’s a great way to learn and earn with flexible leverage and real rewards. You can start small, learn as you go, and still have a chance to win. We also provide protection orders and trading guides to help you trade confidently and safely.

All margin-enabled crypto trading pairs on CEX.IO are eligible, including popular ones like BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, XRP/USDT, and more. You can trade 100+ markets across top-performing assets.

The total prize pool starts at 10,000 USDT and can scale up to 50,000 USDT based on overall participant trading activity. The top 10 traders will receive prizes, with the #1 winner earning up to 25,000 USDT. We're also giving out random prizes to 10 lucky participants! All you need to do is complete at least one margin trade during the competition.

Leaderboard rankings are based solely on daily trading volume. Each day, the top trader by trading volume earns 40 points. Other participants receive fewer points based on their relative volume rankings.

At the end of the competition, we’ll sum up your total points across all days. The more consistently you trade at high volumes, the higher your final ranking — and the better your chances to win a share of the prize pool.

After you opt in, you can view your live ranking and performance on the official Leaderboard located on this landing page. Updates are made daily.

All trading competition rewards will be credited directly to the CEX.IO Wallet balance of the winners. You can then choose how to use your prize:

• Trade other crypto assets
• Convert your USDT into fiat (like USD, or EUR)
• Withdraw funds to your crypto wallet, card, or bank account

Your reward is flexible — no lock-in, no restrictions. It’s your profit, your choice.
