Deribit, a leading cryptocurrency derivatives exchange, has partnered with technology provider SignalPlus to launch its 2025 space-themed global trading competition officially.
The event runs from November 17 to December 22. It features a prize pool exceeding $450,000 USDC, along with an array of premium rewards ranging from a Unitree R1 Humanoid Robot and a world travel package to a Bayliner Deck Boat.
Registration and Participation
The competition is open to all Deribit retail users trading through SignalPlus. Registration remains open from November 10 to December 22, and traders who register by November 19 will receive three complimentary Deribit options on BTC, ETH, and SOL. Participants can compete individually or form teams to engage in various crypto options and futures challenges throughout the five-week event.
Commenting on the launch, Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, stated:
 
“The upcoming space-themed Options Competition, in partnership with SignalPlus, is ready for launch, bringing record-breaking rewards, stellar events, and out-of-this-world challenges for our trading community. We’re thrilled to invite you aboard this mission, a celebration of our drive to push new frontiers and create a universe of opportunities for traders to thrive and demonstrate their expertise.”
SignalPlus CEO Chris Yu added that the collaboration blends Deribit’s position as a market leader with SignalPlus’s innovation-driven platform, creating an environment where experienced traders and newcomers can thrive.
Throughout the competition, participants have access to a wide spectrum of rewards. These include high-value technology products, themed collectibles, travel experiences, robotics devices, and the event’s standout prizes, the Unitree R1 Humanoid Robot and the $30,000 Bayliner Deck Boat. Weekly prize opportunities remain available, allowing traders to win items such as drones, laptops, and advanced robotics gadgets as the competition continues.
Missions and Weekly Activities
One of the key features of the competition is the Deposit Mission. Traders who maintain a balance in their Deribit accounts for at least seven consecutive days automatically qualify for weekly prize draws, with higher balances potentially aligning with higher-value items.
Another major segment is the Leaderboard Challenge. Traders who achieve weekly trading volumes of $20 million can qualify for special prizes, including the iPhone 17 and the Starlink Roam system. Additional bonuses are awarded to participants who finish in odd-numbered positions on the Solo Leaderboard, while teams can pursue separate rewards under the Galactic Alliance category.
Daily Rewards and Double Earnings
Daily engagement is encouraged through missions such as the Solo Sprint, where any user who executes at least one trade receives a “Red Packet” reward that may contain up to $350 USDC. Team Odyssey also provides daily opportunities for participating groups to win an Alps skiing trip, and teams that reach a cumulative trading volume of $100 million by the end of the contest will qualify for a grand World Trip prize.
For traders seeking to boost their daily earnings, the Pair Strategy Mission presents the opportunity to double the value of their daily rewards. By trading specific pairs and accurately predicting the trend of BTC, participants may earn as much as $1,050 USDC per day.
The Perpetual Battlefield Tournament
Another highlight of the competition is the Perpetual Battlefield, a live trading arena where participants compete for a share of up to $30,000 USDC. Losses incurred during matches are covered, while profits remain entirely with the traders. The final competitor standing earns the title “King of Perpetuals.”
