BTCC is opening 2026 with one of the largest seasonal trading campaigns in the crypto industry — and a clear signal that it intends to keep pushing scale, incentives, and community engagement into the new year.
The exchange has launched its New Year Trading Festival, unveiling a $10 million prize pool spread across a two-phase campaign.

The first phase of the New Year Trading Festival runs from January 4 to January 30, 2026, and centers on futures trading performance.
Phase 1 includes:
A Futures Trading Competition featuring a 1.9 million USDT prize pool, where higher trading volumes unlock larger rewards
A Profit Rate Competition offering 100,000 USDT to top-performing traders
Beyond USDT rewards, BTCC is also awarding premium prizes to the top three futures traders:
1st place: a 100-gram gold bar (≈ 15,000 USDT)
2nd place: 2 ETH (≈ 6,200 USDT)
3rd place: a MacBook Pro (≈ 3,500 USDT)
Details around Phase 2 of the campaign are expected later in January, completing the full $10 million prize allocation.
This New Year Trading Festival is our way of giving back to the community that has supported BTCC’s growth. With a $10 million prize pool, we’re rewarding both experienced traders and new users who choose BTCC as their trading platform.

Community Recognition Meets Longevity
The New Year Trading Festival follows BTCC’s recent win at the BeInCrypto 100 Awards 2025, where it was named 'Best Centralized Exchange' – Community Choice through public voting — a signal of the platform’s strong relationship with its global user base.
