To help users seize trending ETF trading opportunities, Gate is launching the new “ETF Hot Picks Trading Sprint.” The first season spotlights three of the most popular mainstream leveraged tokens, using a tiered rewards system to drive efficient participation in high-interest markets.

The event runs from February 26, 2026, 11:00 UTC to March 12, 2026, 11:00 UTC. Register and trade the designated ETFs during the event to unlock rewards.

Which ETF Trading Pairs Are Featured This Season?

This sprint features the following trading pairs:

• BTC3L / BTC3S
• ETH3L / ETH3S
• XRP3L / XRP3S

These ETF products are built around major cryptocurrencies, offer 3x leverage, and support both long and short trading. Users can choose their strategy based on market trends to capture both upward and downward opportunities.

Task 1: Hot List Kickoff

During the event, trade any designated ETF pair and reach a cumulative trading volume of at least 200 USDT to receive a 50 USDT trading fee cashback voucher.

This reward is limited to the first 200 users on a first-come, first-served basis—ideal for those looking to participate quickly and secure a basic reward.

Task 2: Peak Sprint

This is the core competitive mechanism of the event. Trade the designated ETF pairs and unlock rewards based on your cumulative trading volume and the time you reach each tier. Rewards are distributed in order of achievement, and each user can only claim the highest reward tier—rewards are not cumulative.

The reward tiers are:

• ≥ 1,000 USDT: 25 USDT reward (top 120 users)
• ≥ 3,000 USDT: 80 USDT reward (top 50 users)
• ≥ 5,000 USDT: 160 USDT reward (top 25 users)
• ≥ 10,000 USDT: 500 USDT reward (top 8 users)

This task is designed for higher-frequency traders or those with larger capital who want to maximize their rewards.

Double Trading Day Acceleration

The last day of the event is Double Trading Day—your trading volume counts double toward your cumulative total.

For example, if you complete 5,000 USDT in trading volume on the final day, it will count as 10,000 USDT, helping you quickly reach higher reward tiers.

Pacing your trading strategically can improve your sprint performance.

Task 3: All-Out Participation

If you meet all the following conditions:

• BTC3L/3S trading volume ≥ 1,000 USDT
• ETH3L/3S trading volume ≥ 1,000 USDT
• XRP3L/3S trading volume ≥ 1,000 USDT

You’ll receive a 100 USDT cash reward, limited to the first 100 users.

This task encourages full participation in all three popular ETF products—ideal for traders seeking a diversified approach.

Reward Types Explained

• Task 1 rewards: ETF trading fee cashback vouchers
• Task 2 rewards: ETF trial funds
• Task 3 rewards: USDT cash

All rewards will be credited to user accounts within 14 business days after the event ends.

How Can You Participate More Efficiently?

To maximize your chances of earning rewards, consider these strategies:

• Complete the basic task first to secure your cashback voucher
• Focus your efforts on Double Trading Day
• Choose your main trading direction based on market trends
• Manage position sizes carefully to avoid overtrading

Trading in sync with market cycles can help you climb the leaderboard while controlling risk.

Risk Reminder

BTC3L/3S, ETH3L/3S, and XRP3L/3S are leveraged ETF products—price swings are amplified. Strong market trends can boost returns, but choppy markets may lead to losses.

Be sure to understand the product mechanics fully and allocate funds according to your risk tolerance before trading.
