On October 16, news about the ACU trading competition said that the top 2,000 traders by volume would split 1.112 million tokens, averaging 556 tokens per person.

Two public announcements mentioned the total rewards and the individual share, and the figures add up. But they only corroborate that details of the competition were disclosed; they do not prove that the event began as scheduled, nor do they equate trading volume during the competition with sustained demand.

It has also been claimed that participants had to sign up manually and that the competition was scheduled to start at 9 p.m. that evening. These two details currently lack independent confirmation and remain unverified. Next, we should look for the official rules, the event status, and records of reward distribution, especially how rankings are calculated.

If trading is driven mainly by rewards, how much demand for ACU that is independent of rankings will remain after the competition ends?
