On the evening of August 26, Binance Alpha launched the AIA Trading Competition, immediately putting up a $200,000 prize pool. Social media mentions that attention and volume turned to a 400% surge.
The rules are different from typical competitions: the first day’s trading volume receives a 20x bonus. New eligible traders can get an additional 12x multiplier. But selling doesn’t count—only buys are counted.
That means the accumulated buy volume from the first few days will be amplified by the coefficients, and the rankings could be reshuffled dramatically. There’s also a hidden requirement: you must manually click “Participate” on the event page first; otherwise, the trading volume will be void.
Additionally, some KOLs mentioned that the top 2,000 participants each receive 714 AIA tokens, worth about $57. This claim has not yet been confirmed by an official announcement.
One question worth asking: when a “trading competition” specifically rewards buying and stacks multipliers, is it incentivizing real demand—or creating a short-term buy-only game that participants feel compelled to play?
