Bitget opened a new installment of its recurring CandyBomb promotion on August 4, 2026, this time targeting futures traders with a combined prize pool of 20,000 USDT. The campaign runs for a 10-day window, from August 4 at 13:00 UTC through August 14 at 13:00 UTC, and is restricted to new futures users on the platform.
CandyBomb is one of Bitget's longer-running promotional formats, typically used to reward specific trading behaviors — in this instance, first-time futures activity rather than spot trading or deposits. By limiting eligibility to new futures users, Bitget is directing the incentive specifically at converting existing account holders who haven't yet tried its derivatives products, rather than rewarding its established futures trading base.
A Familiar Format, New Restriction
Restricting a CandyBomb round to new users of a specific product is a narrower approach than campaigns that reward any qualifying trade, and reflects a common exchange tactic of using promotional pools to seed adoption of a product line rather than simply rewarding existing high-volume traders who would likely trade regardless of the incentive. The 10-day window gives new futures users a defined but relatively short period to qualify.
Bitget's announcement did not specify the exact volume or activity thresholds required to claim a share of the 20,000 USDT pool, directing interested users to the linked event page for full terms. The campaign is one of several concurrent promotions the exchange is running this week across its futures, tokenized stock, and community engagement initiatives.
