As the New Year approaches, Crypto.com is set to launch an exciting initiative aimed at enhancing the trading experience for its users. The New Year HODL Rush: Trade Fest & Referral Rush is designed to engage participants through competitions and rewards, running from January 5, 2025, at 07:00 UTC to February 5, 2026, at 06:59 UTC.
The campaign consists of two main parts. The first segment, dubbed the Leaderboard Showdown, invites traders to climb the ranks based on their taker trading volume. The top 10 participants, identified as ‘Selected Entrants,’ stand to win significant prizes, detailed in the event’s leaderboard. Participants can track their standings in real-time, fostering a sense of competition.
In the second part of the initiative, known as Refer and Earn, participants can turn their referral efforts into tangible rewards by inviting friends to join the Crypto.com Exchange. Performance bonuses offer the potential to earn up to $1,000 in CRO for referring users who actively trade on the platform. Each trading volume tier will see three winners randomly selected, making it beneficial for all participants. Eligible tokens for this part of the campaign include popular cryptocurrencies like BTC, ETH, and DOGE, among others.
To enhance the value for those referred, the campaign also includes custom perks, such as extra trading fee discounts, ensuring that both the referrer and the new user benefit from joining the exchange. Participants can easily track their referrals’ trading activities through a unique link available in the referral section of the Crypto.com Exchange dashboard.
Getting involved in the campaign is straightforward. Users need to sign up or log in to Crypto.com Exchange, register for the competition in the Trading Arena, and start trading by meeting the specified thresholds. Tracking referral progress is facilitated by the dashboard, allowing participants to monitor their performance in real-time.
However, there are important guidelines governing the campaign. The initiative is strictly optional, and Crypto.com has specified jurisdictional limitations on eligibility for both parts of the campaign. Participants must complete KYC verification and abide by all other onboarding steps as laid out by Crypto.com. Furthermore, trades executed through unethical practices, including wash trading or market manipulation, will be disqualified from being counted towards the trading volume.
Participants should also be aware that the campaign is subject to potential modifications by Crypto.com, including cancellation or rule amendments, with no prior notice. Rewards for Selected Entrants will be distributed in USDC or CRO within 21 days following the campaign’s conclusion, along with confirmation emails to ensure transparency.
Finally, participants are reminded that involvement in the campaign is not to be misconstrued as financial advice. They are encouraged to seek professional guidance regarding financial decisions, as cryptocurrency investments carry inherent risks. Crypto.com reserves the right to make the final decisions regarding the campaign and its outcomes.
