Binance has launched its Smart Money Signal Copy Competition, a new trading contest built around the exchange's copy trading feature, which lets users automatically mirror the positions of other traders on the platform. The competition is live now and open to eligible participants.

Under the contest structure, individual traders can earn up to 4,000 USDT per person based on their profit-and-loss performance while copying signal-based trades. Separately, the exchange is setting aside 10,000 USDT in token vouchers to be split among the top-performing Signal Copy portfolios on the platform.

Rewarding Both Individual and Aggregate Performance

The two-tier reward design gives Binance a way to incentivize both individual trader engagement and the overall quality of the signal portfolios being copied. By rewarding top signal portfolios separately from individual PNL-based payouts, the competition encourages experienced traders to build and maintain higher-performing signal strategies, since doing so can pay off both directly and through the shared voucher pool.

Copy trading competitions have become a recurring promotional tool among centralized exchanges looking to boost engagement with newer or less experienced traders, who can use the feature to follow strategies from more established participants without manually replicating individual trades themselves.
