2026 has kicked off amazingly for BTCC as the cryptocurrency exchange has launched its trading festival. This festival comes with a landmark $10 million prize pool as the cryptocurrency market performs excellently.
BTCC Launches the 2026 New Year Trading Festival
BTCC, the world’s longest-serving cryptocurrency exchange, has announced the launch of its New Year Trading Festival, the first campaign of 2026.
In a press release shared with Cryptowisser, the exchange said this festival features an unprecedented $10 million prize pool – one of the largest seasonal rewards programs in the industry.
BTCC explained that the campaign is divided into two phases, designed to reward the platform's growing global trading community. The launch comes as BTCC enters 2026 with momentum following its recent recognition as the Best CEX at the BeInCrypto 100 Awards.
While commenting on this launch, Marcus Chen, Product Manager at BTCC Exchange, stated that,
"This New Year Trading Festival is our way of giving back to the incredible community that has supported BTCC's growth. With a $10 million prize pool, we're rewarding our users in appreciation of their trust and continued support, and we're excited to reward both experienced traders and new joiners who choose BTCC as their trading platform."
According to BTCC, this festival features two distinct competitions running across two phases. Phase 1 will run from January 4 to January 30th and will feature a Futures Trading Competition with a 1.9 million USDT prize pool, where higher trading volumes unlock larger rewards, and a Profit Rate Competition offering 100,000 USDT to top performers.
Furthermore, the top three winners in the Futures Trading Competition will receive premium prizes:
-
1st Place: a 100-gram gold bar (valued at 15,000 USDT)
-
2nd Place: 2 ETH (valued at 6,200 USDT)
-
3rd Place: a MacBook Pro (valued at 3,500 USDT)
BTCC will announce the details of the second phase later this year.
Details for Phase 2 of the campaign will be announced later in January.
This latest development comes after BTCC Exchange ended 2025 with 11 million users, with its tokenized RWA futures volume also surpassing $53 billion.
BTCC integrated with TradingView in Q4, a move that brought advanced charting and technical analysis tools directly to its user base. The integration allows users to access real-time market data and hundreds of technical indicators across more than 400 crypto and tokenized markets—all within the TradingView interface.
In the last quarter, BTCC also introduced copy trading features for its Futures Pro product. The exchange now supports over 400 trading pairs across spot and futures markets.
