Launch of Gate Event Contracts - Simplest short term BTC & ETH trading in your hands!

Gate has officially launched an all-new trading product: Event Contracts. This product was created to simplify price direction prediction in the short-term for mainstream users and is designed to make it more user-friendly than traditional futures trading. Starting from today July 16, 2026, Event Contracts will enable short-term predictions for both BTC and ETH.

What is Gate Event Contracts?

Gate Event Contracts is a simple prediction product where users predict if the price of BTC or ETH will go Up or Down within a certain period of time. No leverage, no margin and no liquidation involved.

Here’s how it works:

Predict direction (Up or Down) for a specified time cycle.

Buy contracts at a price between 0.01 to 0.99 USDT, which represents current market probabilities.

The minimum contract volume to participate is only 1.5 USDT.

Winning contracts are settled at 1 USDT per contract after the event concludes. Losing contracts will be settled at 0 USDT.

You can exit your position any time before the event ends in the order book.

This product offers all of the upside without the high risk.

Product Features:

Zero Leverage & No Liquidation - your loss is capped at your initial investment on contract.

Transparent Settlement - using Chainlink, event outcomes will be fair, automatically determined and cannot be tampered with.

Flexible Exit - choose to exit your position early via the order book to cut losses or lock in profits.

USDT-based trading - trade with ease and speed with USDT as the trading currency.

Multiple Timeframes - supporting various time cycles (5-min, 15-min, 1-hour, and 4-hour) to fit all types of trading styles.

Launch Celebration - $50,000 Prize Pool

To celebrate the launch, Gate is holding a campaign from July 21 to July 31 with a total prize pool of $50,000:

First Order Loss Coverage ($10,000) - cover losses on the first trade up to $5 for the first 2,000 eligible users.

Profit Doubling ($20,000) - top performers will double their net profit up to $500 per user.

Trading Sprint ($20,000) - users with accumulated volume above $1,000 will share a pool proportional to their trading volume, capped at $1,000 per user.
