Binance to Launch Futures Copy Trading Livestream Challenge With Up to 15,000 USDT Prize Pool

According to the announcement from Binance, the exchange will launch the Futures Copy Trading Livestream Challenge for eligible Futures lead traders, who can go live on Binance Square and compete on a leaderboard based on Copier PnL, or total copy trader PNL. The campaign offers a prize pool of up to 15,000 USDT and is structured around a registration period from 2026-08-27 10:00 (UTC) to 2026-09-03 23:59 (UTC), followed by a trading challenge period from 2026-09-07 09:00 (UTC) to 2026-09-21 23:59 (UTC). Participants must register with a Binance UID and designated portfolio details, and each participant may submit one portfolio only. Binance said users who are not already Futures lead traders must complete identity verification and submit an application during the registration period to become eligible. The competition will rank participants by the participating portfolio’s Copier PnL during the challenge period, and only portfolios that remain active for at least 7 days, have at least 50 copiers, and generate positive Copier PnL will qualify for the base prize pool. The top 50 eligible participants will share the 10,000 USDT base prize pool, with rewards ranging from 2,500 USDT for first place to 50 USDT for 21st to 50th places.Binance also said lead traders can qualify for a 1.5x reward boost by using the Live Copy Trading feature on Binance Square and completing livestream tasks during the challenge. To receive the upgraded reward, top 50 participants must complete at least 3 Binance Square livestreams per week, stream for at least 60 minutes per session, and use the Copy Trading widget in the livestream. The upgraded rewards replace the base rewards rather than adding to them, with first place rising to 3,750 USDT, second place to 2,250 USDT, and third place to 1,500 USDT. Binance said reward distribution is scheduled by 2026-10-19 (UTC), and token voucher rewards will expire 14 days after distribution. The company added that leaderboard results will be announced via the Binance Square official account.
