Overview
- Deribit by Coinbase and SignalPlus have opened a 35-day trading competition run by DRB Panama Inc that requires participants to trade through SignalPlus on Deribit to qualify.
- The campaign uses eleven arenas and new features — Mystery Box deposit draws, a weekly P&L leaderboard, short‑dated options reward multipliers, and a Flash Arena — to gamify engagement.
- Standings are based only on eligible trading volume with options weighted 1.0 and futures weighted 0.5, and early-bird bonuses such as three free options were offered for quick registrants.
- The prize mix tops out at up to $600,000 USDC and includes a Private Island jackpot plus luxury items like a Rolex, Apple Vision Pro, NVIDIA stock, trips, hardware and daily USDC pools.
- Organizers include standard investor risk warnings and geographic exclusions, and the design will likely steer extra short-dated options flow to Deribit, which could change liquidity and fee patterns for retail traders.
