Furthermore, any participants who correctly name the winning platform will also be awarded a discount on the adopted Binance Future Platform worth 50% for an entire month.

Activity 2

The second stage is called “Activity 2 – Simulated Trading Competition” and this is where participants will have the opportunity to win 10,000 BNB in total. Here, the simulated funds will be used and the announcement states that participants will have access to 100,000 USDT on each platform after signing up.
