KuCoin has launched its 9th Anniversary Contract Competition, a futures trading contest offering leaderboard-based rewards to mark the exchange's ninth year in operation, the company announced on July 31. Users who register can claim a 50 USDT trial position to begin competing without an initial deposit.
The exchange framed the competition as part of a broader anniversary push, describing it in a teaser post as looking “past the order books to where community, tech, and rhythm converge” as it approaches nine years since launch.
Leaderboard Rewards for Active Traders
Participants who trade futures contracts on KuCoin during the competition period climb a live leaderboard, with the exchange promising “top-tier anniversary rewards” for top performers. KuCoin directed both new and existing account holders to the same competition page, allowing existing users to jump straight into the leaderboard battle alongside new registrants.
Copy Trading AMA Rounds Out the Celebration
Alongside the trading competition, KuCoin scheduled a live AMA session for July 31 at 5:30 p.m. (UTC+8) inside its app, focused on the exchange's Trader Pro Copy Trading program. The session was set to feature KuCoin's product marketing team walking users through the copy-trading feature as part of the broader anniversary programming.
The dual launch — a trading competition paired with an educational AMA — reflects a common pattern among exchanges timing product pushes and trading incentives around company milestones to drive engagement.
