MEXC Celebrates 8 Years With $10M USDT Futures Trading Competition

MEXC is putting an extraordinary $10 million in USDT on the table for its 8th anniversary, offered as a live futures trading competition running through May 3.

The prize pool is split into three tiers, with the largest allocation – $7 million USDT – offering daily volume rewards, paid out to the top 200 futures traders by volume.

Prizes do not require a winning position, just activity, which means any trader participating has a realistic path to a payout.

A separate $1 million USDT pool is awarded to the top 100 traders ranked by total PNL accumulated across the full competition window, rewarding those who make smart choices throughout the event.

The remaining $2 million USDT is used for a team competition.

Groups can form under a registered captain and compete on aggregate futures PNL from now until May 3, and are ranked and rewarded by performance. Captain registrations close on April 27, with members able to join until the end of the competition.

The structure gives team leaders a direct financial stake, with leaders of the top 10 teams dividing an additional 20% bonus on top of whatever their team earns from the main pool. Separate prizes also recognize the largest teams by member count and the top 100 teams by overall rank, so smaller or mid-tier teams aren’t entirely locked out.

The first 1,000 participants to hit $50,000 in futures trading volume also share a $20,000 early-bird pool.

MEXC launched in 2018 and has since grown to more than 40 million registered users across 170-plus countries. The exchange charges zero maker fees on both spot and lists over 3,000 trading pairs, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to meme coins, AI-related tokens, and real-world asset projects.

Futures trading supports leverage up to 500x on select contracts, and the platform includes copy trading functionality that lets users follow and adapt established strategies with adjustable parameters rather than simply mirroring them wholesale.

Other infrastructure includes P2P deposit and withdrawal options, several yield-generating earn programs, and a matching engine rated at up to 1.4 million transactions per second, useful during the kind of volatility that tends to accompany well-publicized trading competitions.

For newer participants, demo accounts allow strategy testing without risking live capital, and API access is available for those running automated setups.

MEXC stores the majority of user funds in multi-signature cold wallets, publishes regular proof-of-reserves audits consistently showing over 100% backing, and maintains an insurance fund.

The mobile app and web platform support the full range of features, including account management, trading tools, and access to the competition itself.

The event is live now, with the full competition window open through May 3.
