Binance has launched a spot trading competition centered on Meteora (MET) token pairs, running from October 8 through October 15, with 400 BNB allocated to the main rewards pool.

The competition distributes prizes by trading volume rank. First place receives 12 BNB, second place 10 BNB, third place 8 BNB, fourth place 6 BNB, and fifth place 4 BNB. Traders must achieve a minimum qualifying trading volume of $500 to be eligible for rewards.

Participation is restricted to verified Binance users and excludes market makers, brokers, and certain zero-fee trading activity. Rewards are distributed across ranking bands, with smaller traders receiving a proportional portion of the pool.

Liquidity and Token Promotion

Meteora is closely associated with Solana’s liquidity infrastructure. BNB functions as a customer acquisition and engagement tool within Binance. Newly listed or strategically important tokens require liquidity to function effectively in spot markets. Trading competitions concentrate volume in specific token pairs, which can tighten bid-ask spreads and increase order-book depth.

Binance periodically runs limited reward rounds alongside its main competition pool, though the total prize allocation across all rounds was not specified in the competition materials.
