Prediction Market Content: Multiple Financial Topics Open Simultaneously

During the Financial Prediction Season, the platform will continuously launch different types of prediction themes covering various financial sectors, including:

• Stock market ups and downs
• Commodity price trends
• IPO-related event predictions
• Interest rate policies (such as Federal Reserve decisions)

Specific topics will be updated according to market dynamics, and users can select and participate based on the information displayed on the event page.

Event One: First Trade Reward Mechanism

To encourage user participation in the financial prediction market, the platform has designed a first trade reward.

During the event, as long as a user completes their first prediction trade on any financial theme with a trading amount of 50 USDT or more, they will receive a 5 USDT reward.

This reward is limited to 1,000 portions, distributed in the order of completion.

Event Two: Trading Volume Leaderboard Competition

Besides the entry reward, the core of this event is the trading volume ranking mechanism.

All prediction trades (including buys and sells) made by users in the financial zone during the event will be accumulated and ranked accordingly. Different ranks correspond to different reward ranges:

• 1st place: 1,000 USDT (requires a trading volume of 50,000 USDT)
• 2nd place: 600 USDT (requires 20,000 USDT)
• 3rd place: 400 USDT (requires 10,000 USDT)
• Ranks 4–10: shared 1,000 USDT (requires 5,000 USDT)
• Ranks 11–30: shared 1,000 USDT (requires 2,000 USDT)
• Ranks 31–100: shared 1,000 USDT (requires 500 USDT)

If trading volumes are equal, the user who reached that volume earlier will be ranked higher.

Ranking and Calculation Rules

The leaderboard is based on the total trading volume of users during the event. Trading data from all financial categories will be combined for calculation. Only genuine trading data will be counted; any abnormal behavior (such as wash trading or volume manipulation) will be excluded and may result in disqualification.

Reward Distribution and Participation Conditions

Users must complete event registration and meet the conditions to participate in reward distribution. All cash rewards will be issued to spot accounts within 14 working days after the event ends. Additionally, multiple accounts under the same identity are considered a single participant, and sub-accounts are not eligible to participate.

Notices and Risk Disclaimer

Market makers, enterprises, institutions, and agent accounts are not allowed to participate in this event. The platform will monitor for violations, including but not limited to multiple accounts, volume manipulation, or trading manipulation. Violators will be disqualified and forfeit rewards. Users should understand that prediction markets and crypto asset trading are highly uncertain; market trends can be influenced by many factors. Participants should carefully assess risks before engaging.
