Gate ETF The New Listing Trading Challenge runs from October 29, 2026, 15:00 to November 7, 2026, 15:00 (UTC+8). This event covers two sets of trading targets: SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S. It offers four categories of rewards: New Product First Trade, Cumulative Trading Check-ins, All-Participant Trading Unlock, and Invite Friends. The goal is to provide eligible users with multiple ways to participate.
Unlike a single volume threshold, this event sets independent tasks for first trade, ongoing participation, total trading scale, and user invitations. Users can choose the task that fits their trading plan. However, before participating, they must complete event registration and identity verification, and confirm the target trading pairs and the specific rules. Event rewards are limited by slots, reward pools, or individual caps. Meeting the trading volume requirement does not automatically guarantee access to every reward.
New Product First Trade: Complete your first trade to qualify
During the event period, if a user trades either SOXS3L/3S or CBRS3L/3S and their first trade volume is greater than or equal to 100 USDT, they will receive a 10 USDT ETF fee cashback voucher. This reward is limited to the first 1,000 eligible users who claim it, and the reward is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until it runs out.
The threshold for the first-trade task is clearly defined, making it helpful for users who have not yet completed the specified trading tasks for this event to understand the new product trading flow. Still, before participating, users should verify their registration status on the event page, the trading pair names, and the trading volume calculation methodology to avoid missing the reward due to not registering or having a trading pair that does not meet the requirements.
Please note that the New Product First Trade reward is issued in the form of an ETF fee cashback voucher, which is different from the ETF体验金 (practice) provided by other tasks. Users should rely on the voucher type, usage conditions, and validity period shown on the event page.
Cumulative Trading Check-ins: Unlock rewards based on participation days
If a user plans to participate in stages during the event, they can focus on the cumulative trading check-in task. During the event, each day, if the cumulative trading volume across any trading pair among SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S reaches 1,000 USDT, the user can complete that day’s check-in. After reaching the required number of check-in days, users can unlock the corresponding rewards.
| Cumulative check-in days | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 day | 5 USDT |
| 3 days | 15 USDT |
| 5 days | 30 USDT |
| 7 days | 50 USDT |
Rewards at different tiers can be stacked. The maximum total a user can earn is 100 USDT. The total reward pool for all tiers is 10,000 USDT, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until it runs out. The check-in task assesses the number of days you hit the trading thresholds, not just your total trading volume during the event period. Therefore, even if your cumulative trading volume is high, you may still fail to unlock the expected tier if you do not meet the daily threshold on the corresponding dates.
When planning your participation schedule, distinguish between your single-day trading volume and your event cumulative trading volume. Also keep track of the event start/end times and the daily reporting rules. Trading decisions should still be based on your own risk tolerance and market judgment. You should not increase unnecessary trades just to complete check-ins.
All-Participant Trading Unlock: Participate in reward pool allocation based on overall trading scale
This event also includes an all-participant trading unlock mechanism. During the event, once all participating users collectively reach the corresponding cumulative trading volume threshold in the specified trading pairs, the corresponding reward pool will be unlocked.
| All-participant cumulative trading volume | Unlocked reward pool |
|---|---|
| 1,000,000 USDT | 10,000 USDT |
| 2,000,000 USDT | 20,000 USDT |
| 3,000,000 USDT | 30,000 USDT |
Reward pools at different tiers do not stack. The final allocation will be determined by the highest tier reached by the end of the event. A user’s personal cumulative trading volume in the specified trading pair must reach 1,000 USDT to qualify for the final reward pool allocation.
Rewards will be distributed according to the proportion of each qualifying user’s personal cumulative trading volume relative to the total cumulative trading volume of all qualifying users. A single user can earn up to 500 USDT. In other words, the final distributable amount depends not only on which all-participants tiers are unlocked, but also on the distribution of trading volumes among qualifying users. You cannot simply split the unlocked reward pool evenly among all participants.
Invite Friends: Unlock corresponding rewards through eligible invitations
In addition to individual trading tasks, the event also provides rewards for inviting new trading users who join the event via invitation. During the event period, invite new trading users who meet the requirements to participate. When the invited user’s cumulative trading volume reaches 100 USDT across any trading pair among SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S, it will count as one eligible invitation.
| Number of eligible invitations | Reward |
|---|---|
| 1 person | 10 USDT |
| 3 people | 30 USDT |
| 5 people | 60 USDT |
The total reward pool for the invitation task is 10,000 USDT, distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. Each user can only claim the highest-tier reward they have reached; tier rewards do not stack. Once the number of invitations reaches the threshold, users should still check whether the reward pool has been fully distributed and whether the invited users meet the new trading user requirements and the specified trading volume requirements.
Gate ETF product mechanics you should understand before participating
SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S are leveraged ETF trading targets with a directional leverage characteristic. Unlike ordinary spot assets, the objective of a leveraged ETF is typically to track a multiple performance of the underlying reference asset over a specific period. The product price is affected by changes in the underlying asset, leverage mechanics, and daily rebalancing, among other factors. Because the leverage direction differs, the impact of price changes may also differ. Users should first confirm the specific direction of each trading pair and the product description.
The performance of a leveraged ETF does not equal a simple multiple of the underlying asset’s cumulative rise/fall over a longer period. When the market repeatedly fluctuates, compounding effects and daily rebalancing can cause actual performance to deviate from the intuitive multiple expectation. Therefore, users should not judge risk solely by the product name, and should not treat event rewards as a guarantee of trading returns.
Before participating, it is recommended that users read the Gate ETF product introduction and related tutorials to confirm the product’s leverage direction, fees, price fluctuation characteristics, and the potential losses they can tolerate. Trading volume tasks are only event eligibility requirements and do not constitute buy or sell recommendations.
Event registration and reward distribution rules
Users must click "Participate Now" on the event page to complete registration, and pass identity verification, in order to be eligible to receive the corresponding rewards. The event statistics scope includes only the specified trading pairs of SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S, and trading volume is calculated as the sum of buy volume and sell volume. Trading records for other trading pairs cannot be directly counted toward this event’s tasks.
The New Product First Trade reward will be issued immediately in the form of an ETF fee cashback voucher. Other USDT rewards will be issued to users’ accounts in the form of SOXS3L/3S ETF trading experience (体验金) within 14 business days after the event ends. Because the distribution forms and usage rules differ across rewards, users should rely on the information shown on the event page and the actual credited details in their accounts.
The event prohibits cheating behaviors such as bulk account registration, malicious volume boosting, wash trading (buying and selling by oneself), and order matching between accounts. Multiple accounts under the same identity verification user will be treated as the same account, and sub-accounts cannot participate. Users in the UK and other restricted regions may be unable to use all or part of the services, including participating in related events. If rules differ among different language versions, the English version prevails.
Summary
The Gate ETF New Listing Trading Challenge splits the trading tasks for SOXS3L/3S and CBRS3L/3S into four parts: first trade, check-ins, all-participant trading, and invitations. Each task comes with different eligibility requirements, reward caps, and distribution methods. Users should choose the tasks that fit their situation and verify the trading volume calculation and reward rules after registering.
It is important to emphasize that event rewards do not offset the market risks inherent to leveraged ETFs. Before participating, users should fully understand the product mechanics, make independent judgments about trading risks, and should not place trades beyond their plans solely to meet event thresholds.
