Set to begin on 1st of May and lasts for 12 months, the new project is poised to have the largest prize pool in Futures trading, bringing to the table more than 60 million USDT. The principle of the competition is to classify both top-level professionals and private traders, already acknowledged by the leading market trading companies all over the world.

The Competition will kick-off with all VALR users who deal with Perpetual Futures trading. The prize pools’ amount will vary depending on the overall trading volume of the futures trades, starting at 30,000 USDT and up to 5 million USDT for the top monthly traders. This structure is specifically intended to improve the platform’s liquidity and market activity, thereby enhancing the user attraction and continued growth of the mentioned medium.

In conjunction with the primary prize pool, VALR has developed a novel format for its monthly futures competition, using the platform. Providing more than 1 million USDT as the prize, these tournaments give money for those who have shown a certain degree of involvement but not for the volume of trades. The goal of the project is to free the playing field, to give all traders a hope to compete and receive the win.

Co-Founder and CEO of VALR, Farzam Ehsani was hugely excited towards this partnership. “I’m totally pumped about roaring off with the Grand Slam of Trading Competitions VALR with such a big prize pool,” Ehsani said. He mentioned it strongly and clearly about some of the largest trading companies that give the support and interest in the venture thus the initiative will revolutionize the VALR as the users.
