Binance, the global blockchain platform, has officially launched the Binance Traders League, a highly anticipated event boasting a prize pool exceeding $10 million—the largest in the platform’s history. Announced on October 8, this initiative aims to engage crypto traders of all experience levels.
Binance Traders League: A New Initiative for Inclusive Crypto Trading Competitions
Designed to promote inclusivity within the crypto trading community, the Binance Traders League offers various challenges, allowing traders to participate as individuals or in teams. This structure encourages collaboration while enabling traders to test their skills against others. The event is accessible to all users, including regular and VIP levels 1–6, ensuring everyone can participate.
To qualify for the spot trading competitions during the League period, traders need to meet a minimum trading volume of $500. For competitions extending into 2024, Binance has established diverse criteria—such as return on investment (ROI), profit and loss (PNL), and trading volume—to ensure a balanced competitive environment for retail traders alongside larger players.
