KuCoin launches a Futures trading competition with a $30,000 prize pool

Time and scope of application

The program is designed to encourage users to increase their engagement in the perpetual contract market, while also creating a competitive incentive through a ranking mechanism based on trading volume.

The contest runs from 18:00 on January 23, 2026 to 18:00 on January 29, 2026 (UTC+8) .
Supported trading pairs include BTC, ETH, SOL, and XRP , applicable to perpetual contracts on KuCoin Futures.

This event is only open to VIP users level 0 to level 3. Institutional accounts, market makers, API accounts, and sub-accounts are not eligible to participate.

Participation mechanism and ranking conditions

During the event, users who achieve a minimum accumulated trading volume of 1 USDT will be eligible for ranking. Trading volume is calculated in USDT and includes leverage , using the following formula:

Trading volume = Principal amount × Leverage

In addition to the main rankings, KuCoin also offers participation rewards for users who reach a minimum trading volume of 100 USDT , with WET rewards distributed randomly.

Reward distribution structure

A total of 200 top-ranked users will receive rewards. The leading group will receive the biggest reward, a combination of WET and Futures discount vouchers. Specifically:

• The person ranked first receives 6,300 WET and a $2,250 discount voucher.

• Positions 2 through 5 continue to receive high-value rewards.

• Categories 6 through 200 are still allocated WET and discount vouchers according to their level.

Rewards will be distributed within 7 business days after the event ends.

Rules and notes

KuCoin implements controls to ensure fairness, including limiting each user to participating in only one event of the same type at a time. Actions deemed fraudulent, such as creating duplicate accounts or manipulating trading volume, will result in disqualification from receiving rewards.

KuCoin Futures reserves the right to the final interpretation of all content and rules of this event.

Overall assessment

With its short duration and ranking mechanism based on trading volume, this Futures competition is primarily suitable for traders who trade regularly on KuCoin. The rewards serve as a supplementary factor, rather than the main motivation to participate.

As with any program involving contract trading, users should be aware that price volatility and high leverage can lead to significant risks , including the risk of liquidating all margin. This event should not be considered investment advice, and all trading decisions remain at the user's personal discretion.
