SunCrypto is rolling out its biggest futures trading competition yet, an 11-day event with a total prize pool of ₹5,00,000, split across three simultaneous reward tracks. The structure is designed to be inclusive by design: whether you’re a high-volume whale, a precision PnL trader, or simply an active participant crossing a modest volume threshold, there’s a lane for you to win.
Here’s a full breakdown of how this futures trading competition works, who’s eligible, and what traders need to know before they start stacking positions.

All three leaderboards, Volume, PnL, and the Lucky Draw, go live on Day 1 and run in parallel for the full 11 days of the futures trading competition. This means traders aren’t forced to pick a single strategy; a well-rounded trader could theoretically feature across more than one track depending on how their trading unfolds.
Three Reward Tracks
Track 1: Top 25 by trading volume — ₹3,00,000
The largest slice of the prize pool rewards sheer trading activity. Rankings are based on total notional volume traded (counting both the opening and closing legs of every trade, across both sides).
Eligibility: A minimum of $500,000 in trading volume during the campaign period is required to qualify for a payout on this leaderboard.

|
11–25 |
₹5,000 each (₹75,000 total) |
This track is squarely aimed at high-frequency traders and whales who move significant sizes. The $500k volume floor ensures the leaderboard rewards genuinely heavy activity rather than marginal participation in the futures trading competition.
Track 2: Top 10 by PnL — ₹1,00,000
This track rewards skill over scale. Rankings are based on realized PnL, meaning positions must be closed within the campaign window to count; open, unrealized gains won’t be factored into the leaderboard.
Eligibility: Same as the Volume track, traders need a minimum of $500,000 in trading volume to be eligible for a PnL prize.

By pairing the PnL leaderboard with the same $500k volume requirement as the Volume track, SunCrypto ensures this isn’t a leaderboard that can be gamed with a single lucky, low-volume trade; traders need to be both active and accurate to place in this futures trading competition.
Track 3: Lucky Draw (40 Winners) — ₹1,00,000
The most accessible track, designed to reward broad participation rather than top-tier performance. Every trader who crosses $50,000 in futures trading volume during the campaign automatically enters the draw pool.
Eligibility: Minimum $50,000 in trading volume.
|
Winners |
Prize Each | Total |
| 40 lucky traders | ₹2,500 |
₹1,00,000 |
Forty winners are selected entirely at random from the eligible pool. This track exists to make sure a much wider base of traders not just the top performers has a genuine shot at a reward, lowering the barrier to entry to a much more attainable $50k threshold.
Important note: Traders who win on either the volume or PnL leaderboard are excluded from the Lucky Draw, even if they cross the $50k threshold. This keeps the reward pool spread across more unique winners rather than concentrating prizes with the same top traders.
Total Winners: 75 and Counting
Between the two leaderboards (35 winners: 25 from Volume + 10 from PnL) and the 40 Lucky Draw winners, this futures trading competition produces 75 total winners, a healthy number for social proof, testimonials, and community buzz once results go live.
Key rules traders should know
- Futures only: Both INR and USDT pairs count; spot market volume is excluded entirely from all calculations.
- Trades closed under the scalping offer will not be counted in the final volume.
- Volume calculation: Total notional trade is counted on an open-plus-close basis across both sides of a position.
- PnL basis: Only realized PnL counts, and positions must be closed within the campaign window to be counted.
- Dual leaderboard wins allowed: A trader can rank on both the Volume and PnL leaderboards simultaneously, but as noted, doing so disqualifies them from the Lucky Draw.
- Fair play enforcement: Wash trading, self-trading between linked accounts, and any form of API abuse will result in disqualification. SunCrypto’s decision on this is final.
- KYC required: Only KYC-verified users are eligible to participate or win; this applies equally to new and existing users.
- Payout timeline: Rewards are credited to the winner’s SunCrypto wallet within 7 working days of the campaign’s conclusion.
Why does this structure work?
The three-track design solves a common problem with single-leaderboard trading competitions: they tend to only excite the top 1% of traders, while everyone else disengages once they realize they have no realistic shot at a prize.
By layering in:
- A high-volume track ($500k+ minimum) for whales,
- A skill-based PnL track ($500k+ minimum) for sharp traders, and
- A low-barrier lucky draw ($50k minimum) for the broader active user base,
SunCrypto creates multiple, distinct motivations to trade and, more importantly, to trade specifically on the futures market rather than spot. This also directly supports one of the campaign’s stated success metrics: converting Spot-only users into Futures traders through the futures trading competition.
The bottom line
With ₹5,00,000 on the line, a 15-day window, and three parallel tracks calibrated for different trader profiles, SunCrypto’s futures trading competition is built to maximize both volume and participation breadth. Whales chasing the ₹1,00,000 top volume prize, sharp traders eyeing the ₹50,000 top PnL spot, and casual traders hoping for a ₹2,500 Lucky Draw win are all playing the same game just on different boards.
For traders on the fence, the math is simple: cross $50,000 in futures volume for a shot at the draw or push toward $500,000 to compete for the far larger leaderboard prizes. Either way, this futures trading competition starts on Day 1.
