The Rise Of Trading Competitions — AAX Academy
The cryptocurrency ecosystem has moved from a time where there were a handful of exchanges. Now, there are so many options that there are competitions to incentivize trading.
In this article, we explore cryptocurrency trading competitions, how they work, and how you can leverage them.
What are trading competitions?
These are unique trading campaigns organized by exchanges to encourage users to trade to win lucrative prizes.
These competitions have become more common as cryptocurrency exchanges battle for users and the attention of traders. Trading competitions keep existing traders engaged and also bring new users to an exchange.
Traders are attracted to these competitions by the incentives provided by the exchange. These incentives range from earning tokens to winning hardware wallets, mobile phones, and more.
How do trading competitions work?
Trading competitions take different forms. Each competition has rules that specify the trading pairs or coins included in the contest, required volume or deposit, and prizes for the winner(s).
The most popular kind are competitions based on trading volume. For instance, some competitions reward users who trade above a certain volume during a specific period. Also, some competitions reward traders with the highest trading volume.
Other types of trading competitions include deposit contests where depositing up to or above an amount of a cryptocurrency could win you a prize. Further, trading competitions can also be built around crypto purchases with fiat and more.
