Kucoin has launched new futures-focused competitions with a total prize pool of up to $500K, building on its PROOF trading campaign to offer individual and team events. The initiative features a 160,000 USDT futures competition across three campaigns: an individual futures PnL contest (50K USDT), a team battle (60K USDT), and a futures lucky draw (50K USDT).
Kucoin is presenting an all-in-one carnival, integrating multiple products into a single trading campaign for KYC-verified users completing specific campaign tasks. Each activity has its own participation rules, and users will receive notifications via both email and in-app messages in the Kucoin app.
According to the Kucoin team, the new competitions introduce a broader range of participation opportunities, including leaderboard-driven rankings, performance-based trading challenges, and team battle modes. The modules are designed to accommodate different trading styles and experience levels. Participants will also be evaluated based on clearly defined criteria, and performance will be tracked through standardized leaderboards and live performance updates.
Campaign maximizes wins by allowing multiple modules participation
Users participating in the remaining futures competitions can maximize rewards by actively engaging across multiple campaign modules, encouraging consistent participation throughout the campaign. However, some users may fail to receive rewards after participating if they do not meet specific campaign requirements, such as eligibility criteria, minimum trading thresholds, or task completion conditions.
The Futures-Individual PnL Contest will run from April 20 to May 3, 2026, and the Futures- Early Team Registration will kick off on April 20 and end on the 23rd. Meanwhile, the Futures – Team Battle and the Future Lucky Draw will also run alongside each other from April 20 to May 3.
Specifically, over 291 teams comprising more than 1,227 participants will face off for the 60,000 USDT prize pool, with only the top 30 teams sharing the reward. The team captain will receive 30% of team rewards, and the top 30 team members will share 60% of team rewards. Meanwhile, eligible members will share 10% of the team rewards.
The winning team will bag 10,000 USDT, second place will walk away with 8,000 USDT, and third place will receive 6,000 USDT. Positions 4 and 5 will get 4,000 USDT and 2,000 USDT, respectively, while positions 6-10 will get 1,200 USDT each. Positions 11-20 will also get 800 USDT each.
So far, team Flux Trade Phantom is in the lead with a trading volume of 1.481 million USDT, followed by team NeonChainHunter Fam in second place with 1.34 million USDT. Team VortexAltMasterGroup is third with 1.09 million in trading volume, but team DayBreak is threateningly close with 1.03 million.
