Margex Introduces Weekly Crypto Trading Contests with 10,000 USDT Prize Pool

Digital asset trading platform Margex has rolled out a new “Competitions Mode,” introducing free weekly contests for its users with rewards paid in Tether (USDT). The new feature launched on August 28 with a “Fantasy League” format, according to a company announcement.

Contest Details and Prize Structure

The inaugural competition, the Fantasy League, offers a weekly prize pool of 10,000 USDT. According to Margex, top-performing participants can earn individual payouts of up to 3,000 USDT.

The contest is designed to reward predictive skill rather than trading volume or account size. It is free to enter for all registered users on the platform, with leaderboards and point tallies updating in real time.

How the Fantasy League Works

The competition centers on accurately forecasting the price direction of various crypto assets over a one-week period. The mechanics are structured to test traders' market analysis skills.

• Asset Selection: Participants choose five cryptocurrency pairs from their recent trading history.
• Price Prediction: For each selected pair, the user must predict whether the price will move up or down during the week.
• Scoring: Points are awarded for each correct prediction, and a user's total score determines their rank on the weekly leaderboard.
