Gate launches precious metals vs. crypto assets showdown, 68,000 USDT prize pool waiting for you to split
Gate Exchange officially launched the “Gold & Silver vs. BTCÐ King Duel” event on January 22nd. This two-week marketing campaign will conclude on February 5th. The total prize pool reaches 68,000 USDT, with a maximum individual reward of 10,500 USDT. This is not only a trading competition but also an interesting dialogue between precious metals and digital assets.
Three Prize Pool Mechanisms with Flexible Participation
The core of this event is dividing users into two major teams for competition:
Core Logic of the Team Duel
The most interesting part of the event lies in the team setup. Team A represents traditional precious metals (Gold XAU, Silver XAG), while Team B represents the rising force of cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH). The system conducts PK based on the cumulative contract trading volume of each team member. The winning team members share the 48,000 USDT prize pool, with a maximum of 10,000 USDT per person.
A clever aspect of this setup is that even if your team ultimately loses, as long as you complete over $1,000 in trading, you can still participate in the “Trading Star” prize pool and share 10,000 USDT based on your trading volume, with a maximum of 500 USDT per person. In other words, almost all participants have a chance to receive some form of reward.
Special Opportunity for New Users
For newly registered users, the event offers a lower participation threshold. Completing $500 in specified contract trading in certain cryptocurrencies allows entry into the 10,000 USDT prize pool, on a first-come, first-served basis. This reward can also be combined with team rewards, giving new users a double opportunity to profit.
Why Choose BTC and Precious Metals for the Duel
According to relevant data, BTC’s current price is $89,664.71, with a market share of 59.20%, making it the absolute core of the entire crypto market. Choosing BTC as the main force of Team B indicates that Gate aims to use the most representative asset in the market for this duel.
The inclusion of precious metals adds a cross-asset category dialogue. Gold and silver, as traditional safe-haven assets, form an interesting contrast with emerging digital assets like BTC—reflecting the current state of the financial market where traditional assets and cryptocurrencies coexist and compete.
Summary
This event is thoughtfully designed, maximizing participants’ earning opportunities through layered reward mechanisms. Whether you are an experienced trader or a new user, whether you favor precious metals or cryptocurrencies, you can find a suitable way to participate in this event. The campaign runs until February 5th, giving interested users about two weeks to join. The key is to clarify your trading plan rather than trade just for rewards.
