HTX has officially launched the second round of its SunPump Ecosystem Trading Competition, presenting an enticing total prize pool of 10,000 USDT. This initiative is designed to stimulate trading activity around SunPump-related tokens in both spot and futures markets, running from January 5 to January 18, 2026 (UTC).
The competition features two distinct segments: a spot trading pool and a futures trading pool. The spot trading segment allocates 5,000 USDT specifically for trading eligible tokens such as TRX, SUN, BTT, JST, STEEM, WIN, SUNDOG, and others. To incentivize participation further, margin trading volumes for these tokens will be counted at three times their actual value when determining leaderboard standings.
Traders will be ranked based on their cumulative trading volume throughout the competition period, with top performers eligible for substantial portions of the prize pool. This structure not only promotes competition among traders but also encourages liquidity provision for SunPump assets.
On the futures side, the competition focuses on USDT-margined perpetual contracts for the same set of tokens. A separate pool of 5,000 USDT will reward active futures traders, while first-time traders completing an eligible trade will benefit from instant rewards drawn from an additional 1,000 USDT allocation in HTX tokens.
The leaderboard for both trading segments provides transparent tracking of trading activities, offering users clear insights into their standings and reward eligibility. This initiative reflects HTX”s commitment to supporting emerging blockchain ecosystems, as it integrates both spot and futures trading around SunPump crypto assets.
In addition to the trading competition, HTX has also announced a significant support measure: a $100 million USDT airdrop aimed at assisting traders impacted by the recent massive market liquidation that wiped out over $19 billion in leveraged positions on October 11. This move underscores HTX”s dedication to trader protection and the resilience of its platform.
As HTX continues to expand its offerings, traders can expect more interactive events and competitions designed to enhance user engagement within the SunPump ecosystem. This strategic approach not only boosts on-chain activity but also ensures that traders have ample opportunities to participate and benefit from the growing cryptocurrency landscape.
