High-volume users can unlock a 50 USDT bonus by reaching $3 million in trades, while new Bybit users can claim an extra 5 USDT just by depositing 100 USDT. Top traders on the leaderboards will compete for major prizes, including gold rewards and stock share (in USDT equivalents) from companies like Tesla and Meta, and USDT airdrops of up to 2,000 USDT. Leaderboard rankings are based on eligible trades in gold, forex, stock CFDs, indices, and commodities. Realized and unrealized PnL from positions during the event will be counted, and volume can be aggregated across Main and Subaccounts.
