Binance has its own “Prophet” now.

If you’re familiar with OKX’s Prophet, the format should feel familiar: complete tasks to earn points, use points to make predictions, then climb the leaderboard for rewards.

It’s currently in the early-bird reservation phase, and reserving a spot earns you bonus points. Predictions officially open at 8:00 AM on October 21, 2026, and run until 7:59:59 AM on November 16 (Beijing time).

This time, the prize pool is advertised as up to 1 million USDC. The more people reserve, the larger the unlocked prize pool. 1 million is the cap—it doesn’t mean the full amount is already guaranteed to be distributed.

Tasks include registering, checking in, inviting friends, posting in the Square, and trading. Check the event page in your account to see which tasks are available to you. First, confirm that you’re eligible: passing KYC doesn’t mean every region can participate. The announcement explicitly excludes residents or citizens of places including Hong Kong and Singapore.

The announcement lists rewards in three categories. The actual prize pool will depend on how much is unlocked through reservations:

The season leaderboard has 500,000 USDC, covering the top 20,000 participants. You must also have more than 0 season points.

The weekly leaderboards total 400,000 USDC, with 100,000 per week, covering the top 8,000 participants. In addition, your prediction P&L using points that week must be greater than 0.

The consolation prize pool is 100,000 USDC. To qualify, you must not have made the season leaderboard or any weekly leaderboard, and you must have checked in at least 5 times during the season. Eligible participants can receive up to 5 USDC each. That’s a maximum of 5—not a guaranteed 5 USDC just for checking in 5 times.

There’s another leaderboard scoring detail that’s easy to miss: according to the announcement, the score is based on available points plus points frozen in unfilled orders, and does not include the value of your holdings. Your position may look like it’s up, but your leaderboard score may not rise with it. You can’t estimate your rank directly from unrealized gains on your holdings.

These points can only be used in the event. They can’t be redeemed, transferred, or withdrawn, and they’ll be reset at the end of the season. The amount of USDC you receive is determined by the reward rules and the relevant tier—it’s not a matter of converting however many points you’ve accumulated into USDC.

You can first check how many points you can pick up from checking in, registering, and tasks you’d do anyway. If you take on extra spot, futures, or wallet trading tasks just to earn points, remember to factor in fees and potential trading losses separately.

If you’re only aiming for the consolation prize, the listed requirements don’t include generating trading volume. There’s no need to rack up a few dollars in fees just to try for a maximum of 5 USDC.
