Final Rank & Trading Volume Calculation:
The top 10 final ranks are determined by participants with the highest trade volume of Futures, Spot, or both during the Competition period.
Futures and Spot trading volume will both be counted and combined during the Competition period. Participants trading Futures will receive a 5x multiplier on their Futures volume.
Final trading volume = Spot trading volume + (Futures trading volume)x5
Example:
If participant A traded BNB/ZAR for $500 and ETH/BTC for $1,500 on Spot, and additionally traded BTC/USDT-PERP for $300, and BTC/ZAR-PERP for $1,000.
The final trading volume for participant A will be: $500+$1,500+($300+$1,000)x5= $8,500
