Singaporean crypto-derivative trading platform Bityard announces that it will host a trading contest with a prize pool of $60,000 in Tether. Bityard’s contest will kick off before May this year.
Registrations for team captains are currently ongoing on Bityard’s official portal and will remain so until April 21, 2021. According to Bityard’s press release, registration fees for each team captain will be waived.
Those that want to participate as team members will have to wait until after the 21st in order to register. Team rankings will be based on each team member’s trading volume.
Increase in Trading Contests as Crypto Rises
Several crypto exchange platforms have held similar promotions in the past. Hosting trading contests is a good way of promoting and validating the platform and greatly benefits its user acquisition efforts while livening the market in general.
The increase of brokers running such promotions can be directly attributed to the increasing number of retail traders, which is spurred on by the significant appreciation of digital currency prices.
Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and even the meme, Dogecoin, have all experienced monumental growth rates this year. The volatile global political climate, inflation, and short supplies are primary factors driving growth within the virtual currency realm.
