The global crypto exchange Bitrue has announced a comprehensive incentive campaign that combines spot trading, XRP transactions, and futures positions into a single rewards system. The total prize pool exceeds $65,000 in equivalent value and is distributed across several tracks.

The campaign runs from October 30 to November 13, 2026 (UTC+8). Its structure includes a 10,000 USDT prize fund for spot trading, a 5,000 USDT fund within the XRP Mega Mystery Box, and a futures position voucher. A bonus for inviting new users is also provided separately.

Four tracks in one campaign

Each track has its own participation conditions, allowing users to join either a single track or several at once:

  • Spot trading leaderboard: a 10,000 USDT prize fund for participants with a minimum spot trading volume of 100 USDT;
  • Futures position voucher: 50 USDT for those trading futures for the first time, for a trade with ANTHROPIC perpetual contracts;
  • XRP Mega Mystery Box: a 5,000 USDT fund distributed among participants who have traded at least 500 USDT worth of XRP;
  • Friend referral bonus: +25% to rewards for each invited new user who registers and deposits 100 USDT, capped at 100%.

How the rewards work

On the spot trading leaderboard, the ranking position and share of the 10,000 USDT fund depend on the total volume of spot trades closed during the campaign period. Only spot operations are counted, and the ranking criteria and payout amounts for each place are set out in the campaign rules.

The first futures trade unlocks access to a 50 USDT position voucher — it is enough to make a transaction of any amount with ANTHROPIC perpetual contracts. Such a contract is a derivative without an expiration date that tracks the price of the underlying asset. It is important to understand: the instrument does not grant ownership of Anthropic shares, is not affiliated with the company, and is not approved by it.

Participants who have traded at least 500 USDT worth of XRP gain access to the XRP Mega Mystery Box and share a 5,000 USDT fund among themselves. This track runs in parallel with the leaderboard, so a single trader can qualify for rewards in several categories at once.

The referral bonus is capped at 100% — the limit is reached after four qualifying referrals. Bitrue reserves the right to verify activity and to disqualify accounts found engaging in abnormal or manipulative trading or abusing the referral program.

Platform context

Founded in 2018, Bitrue serves over 40 million users worldwide. The exchange was the first among global platforms to add XRP as a base pair and maintains one of the widest sets of trading pairs with this asset. The platform also develops a line of tokenized real-world assets, staking products, Launchpool, and Bitrue AI — a free trading bot based on artificial intelligence.

Cryptalist analysis: The campaign demonstrates a cross-product activation strategy typical of mature exchanges: spot trading builds liquidity, futures attract new traders, and the tie-in with XRP strengthens Bitrue's positioning in this ecosystem. Offering futures on Anthropic ahead of a potential IPO reflects growing demand for pre-IPO exposure to the AI sector, but investors should remember that such derivatives carry elevated risks and do not imply rights to shares. From Cryptalist's institutional perspective, such mechanics effectively stimulate volumes in the short term, but a sustained inflow of capital depends on the quality of execution and the liquidity of the underlying instruments.
