Official Rules

SPCXx Perpetual Futures Trading Challenge 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the PF_SPCXXUSD Trading Competition (the “Competition”). By participating, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Kraken’s Terms of Service.

Section 1 — Sponsor

The Competition is sponsored by Tulip HoldCo Ltd., 2nd Floor, Water’s Edge Building, Wickhams Cay II, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands (“Sponsor,” “Kraken,” “we,” or “us”).

Section 2 — Eligible Areas

The Competition is open to eligible customers residing in jurisdictions where Kraken Futures trading is available, excluding the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area, the United States, Canada, and Australia. Void where prohibited.

Section 3 — Competition Period

The Competition begins on 12 June 2026 at 00:00 UTC and ends on 3 July 2026 at 23:59 UTC (the “Competition Period”). Kraken’s systems are the official timekeeping authority for all purposes under these Terms.

Section 4 — How to Participate

To participate in the Competition, you must:

  1. have a Kraken account in good standing during the Competition Period;
  2. have completed at least Intermediate KYC verification before the end of the Competition Period;
  3. trade the PF_SPCXXUSD (SpaceX Perpetual Future) contract on the Kraken platform during the Competition Period; and
  4. achieve a minimum of USD 1.00 in absolute realised profit-and-loss (“Realised PnL”) on PF_SPCXXUSD during the Competition Period to appear on the Competition leaderboard and be eligible for a Prize.

Participation in the Competition constitutes trading in futures contracts, which involves a high degree of risk. See the risk disclosure in Section 12.

Section 5 — Winner Determination and Leaderboard

Winners are determined by ranking all eligible participants by their absolute Realised PnL on PF_SPCXXUSD during the Competition Period, from highest to lowest. In the event of a tie in Realised PnL between two or more participants at any rank, the participant who first achieved that Realised PnL level during the Competition Period will be ranked higher.

The leaderboard will be updated periodically during the Competition Period and is for indicative purposes only. Final rankings are determined after the Competition Period closes and all trades have been settled. Kraken’s determination of final rankings is final and binding.

Section 6 — Prize Pool and Distribution

The total prize pool is USD 15,000, to be distributed in USDG, as follows:

Rank

Prize

1

USD 3,000

2

USD 1,500

3

USD 1,000

4–5

USD 500 each (USD 1,000 total)

6–10

USD 300 each (USD 1,500 total)

11–20

USD 100 each (USD 1,000 total)

21 and above

Proportional share of USD 6,000, allocated in proportion to each qualifying participant’s Realised PnL as a percentage of the aggregate Realised PnL of all participants ranked 21 and above

The maximum number of prize recipients in the proportional pool (Ranks 21–120) is 100 participants. If fewer than 120 eligible participants qualify (i.e., achieve at least USD 1.00 Realised PnL during the Competition Period), the proportional pool will be distributed among all qualifying participants ranked 21 and above, up to the available maximum.

Prizes are non-transferable and non-exchangeable. Kraken reserves the right to substitute a prize of equal or greater value if the stated prize becomes unavailable for reasons outside Kraken’s control. The approximate retail value of the total prize pool is USD 15,000.

USDG prizes will be credited to the winner’s Kraken account within a reasonable time after final rankings are confirmed, subject to completion of any applicable verification requirements.

To receive a Prize, a participant must, before the end of the Competition Period and before prize fulfilment:

  1. have a Kraken account in good standing; and
  2. have completed at least Intermediate KYC verification, plus any additional verification required by Kraken or applicable law in the participant’s jurisdiction.

Kraken reserves the right to withhold prize fulfilment pending satisfactory completion of any required verification. If a prize winner fails to satisfy the KYC requirement within a reasonable time of being notified, the prize may be forfeited and reallocated at Kraken’s discretion.
