Prediction Market Topics: Diverse Financial Themes Unveiled
Throughout the Financial Forecast Season, the platform will continuously release new prediction topics spanning various financial sectors, including:
- Stock market uptrend and downtrend forecasts
- Commodity price trends
- IPO-related event predictions
- Interest rate policies (such as Federal Reserve decisions)
Specific topics will be updated in real time based on market developments. Users can select and participate according to the topics displayed on the event page.
Event 1: First Trade Reward Mechanism
To encourage participation in the financial prediction market, the platform has introduced a first trade reward.
During the event, if you complete your first prediction trade on any financial topic with a transaction amount of 50 USDT or more, you will receive a 5 USDT reward.
This reward is limited to 1,000 participants and will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Event 2: Trading Volume Leaderboard Competition
Beyond the entry reward, the main highlight of this event is the trading volume ranking system.
All your prediction trades (including buys and sells) within the financial section during the event period will be counted toward your total trading volume, which determines your ranking. Rewards are allocated as follows:
- 1st place: 1,000 USDT (requires at least 50,000 USDT in trading volume)
- 2nd place: 600 USDT (requires at least 20,000 USDT)
- 3rd place: 400 USDT (requires at least 10,000 USDT)
- 4th–10th places: Share 1,000 USDT (requires at least 5,000 USDT each)
- 11th–30th places: Share 1,000 USDT (requires at least 2,000 USDT each)
- 31st–100th places: Share 1,000 USDT (requires at least 500 USDT each)
If two or more users have the same trading volume, the user who reached the volume first will rank higher.
Leaderboard and Calculation Rules
The leaderboard is based on the total trading volume accumulated by each user during the event. All trades across financial market categories are combined for calculation. Only genuine trading activity is counted—any abnormal behavior (such as wash trading or volume manipulation) will be excluded and may result in disqualification.
Reward Distribution and Participation Requirements
To be eligible for rewards, users must complete event registration and meet the participation criteria. All cash rewards will be credited to spot accounts within 14 business days after the event ends. Multiple accounts under the same identity will be treated as a single participant, and sub-accounts are not eligible to participate.
Important Notes and Risk Disclosure
This event is not open to market makers, businesses, institutions, or agent accounts. The platform will monitor for violations, including but not limited to bulk accounts, wash trading, or market manipulation. Any detected violations will result in disqualification and forfeiture of rewards. Please note that prediction markets and crypto asset trading involve significant uncertainty, and market trends can be influenced by various factors. Carefully assess the risks before participating.
