Task One: Kick Off on the Hot List—Claim a 50 USDT Fee Cashback
During the event, simply trade any designated ETF pair and reach a total trading volume of at least 200 USDT to receive a 50 USDT fee cashback coupon.
This reward is limited to the first 200 users on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the quota is filled, rewards end. Ideal for users eager to participate quickly and reduce trading costs.
Task Two: Peak Challenge—Compete for Top Rewards
After trading the specified ETFs, users unlock reward tiers based on cumulative trading volume:

Double Trading Day: On the event's final day, trading volume counts as double. Use this special day to sprint ahead and compete for bigger rewards.
Double Trading Day: Boost Your Ranking
Double Trading Day takes place on the last day (March 14). All trading volume is doubled for reward calculations. For example, trading 5,000 USDT on Double Trading Day is counted as 10,000 USDT, helping you earn rewards faster and climb the leaderboard.

Risk Warning & Participation Tips
ETF products are leveraged instruments—price swings can magnify both profits and losses. Before trading ETFs, make sure you understand the risks and your investment decisions match your risk tolerance.
To help manage your risk, we recommend:
- Don’t chase rewards excessively; keep each trade within your risk limits.
- If new to leveraged trading, use demo accounts or small trades to familiarize yourself with the products.
- Use caution during volatile markets and avoid blindly following market trends.
