Public stats for the DGAI trading contest showed zero the previous day, but by October 15 they had reached around 33,000. Two records from different times listed 32,959 and 33,218, and the market suddenly took notice. The reason is not hard to find.
For now, the activity looks more like a short-term boost from trading incentives than evidence of sustained demand. Public discussions mention that limit orders earn 4× points, while another claim says the trading contest offers a 2× bonus. What each multiplier applies to, and whether they can be combined, remains to be verified.
The timelines also don’t match: claims made on the same day say either “1 day left” or “2 days left.” There are currently no market snapshots available for verification, and it’s impossible to tell how many actual participants these figures represent.
If the reward rules and countdown are still unclear, is around 33,000 the starting point for demand—or a burst of trading before the incentives end?
