Gate has launched the “ETF First Trade Benefits” campaign to make ETF trading more accessible. This event is tailored for users who have never traded ETFs, lowering the entry barrier with bonus incentives and leaderboard rewards.
The event runs from February 27, 2026, 11:00 UTC to March 6, 2026, 11:00 UTC. Eligible users can participate after completing registration.
$50 Exclusive New User Bonus
During the campaign, new users making their first ETF trade can claim a $50 ETF trial bonus. This reward is limited to the first 100 users, making it ideal for those who wish to join early.
The trial bonus allows users to experience ETF trading mechanics and become familiar with both long and short strategies.
First Trade Reward: Random Cash Incentive
Users who complete their first trade with a single transaction of at least $100 will receive a random cash reward between $5 and $25.
This portion of the prize pool totals $10,000 and is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. This structure encourages users to complete their first trade promptly and earn rewards with a low entry threshold.
Compared to traditional high-barrier trading events, this first trade reward is more accessible for beginners.
Trading Star Reward: Leaderboard Share of $10,000
Beyond the first trade reward, the campaign features a trading leaderboard.
Once a user’s cumulative ETF trading volume reaches $1,000 or more, they qualify for ranking rewards. The reward structure is as follows:
- 1st place (minimum $500,000): $2,000
- 2nd place (minimum $200,000): $1,200
- 3rd place (minimum $100,000): $800
- 4th–20th place (minimum $50,000): share $2,000 equally
- After 20th place (minimum $1,000): share $4,000 proportionally based on trading volume
This structure rewards both high-volume traders and regular participants, giving users at all levels a chance to earn prizes.
$20,000 Total Prize Pool Structure
The total prize pool consists of two parts:
- $10,000 random first trade rewards
- $10,000 leaderboard rewards
Combined with the $50 trial bonus, the campaign offers strong appeal.
Who Is This Campaign For?
This campaign is open only to users who have never traded ETFs, making it ideal for:
- Beginners looking to try ETF products
- Users seeking low-barrier trading rewards
- Traders planning to concentrate activity in the short term to climb the leaderboard
For users with trading experience but who are new to ETFs, this campaign is an excellent opportunity to try out the product.
How to Improve Your Ranking?
If you want to earn higher rewards on the leaderboard, consider the following:
- Plan your trading pace in advance
- Allocate funds strategically
- Monitor market trends to boost trading efficiency
- Manage risk to avoid excessive chasing or panic selling
Climbing the leaderboard is important, but risk management is even more crucial.
Risk Reminder
ETF products are leveraged trading tools, so price fluctuations can amplify gains or losses. Although there is no forced liquidation mechanism, net value loss may occur during volatile market conditions.
We recommend users fully understand how ETFs work before participating and join according to their own risk tolerance.
