Deribit and Signalplus Announce Launch of Summer Trading Competition 2025 – The Summer Chase

Deribit, a leading platform for institutional-grade Bitcoin and Ethereum options, has teamed up with SignalPlus, a top-tier crypto options analytics provider, to launch the highly anticipated Summer Chase 2025.

Running from June 26 to July 31, this five-week trading competition brings together traders from across the globe for a chance to win from a massive prize pool exceeding $300,000 in USDC, plus luxury items including a Tesla, a Rolex, and even a trip to Hawaii.

Key Highlights and Reward 

The Summer Chase 2025 will take place from June 26 to July 31. All Deribit users can participate through the SignalPlus platform. Traders interested in the competition can register online, and those who sign up before June 30 will receive an exclusive early bird bonus of three free Deribit options.

Participants can expect a dynamic array of challenges and rewards throughout the event. Whether competing individually or as part of a team, traders can win significant prizes, including USDC cash rewards, physical gold, and luxury items.

Weekly competitions under the Palm Throne Tournament will spotlight top-performing options and futures traders. Special bonuses await those reaching first place or landing in other designated rankings.

For those who prefer team-based play, the Island League Showdown invites groups to battle for up to 1,000 USDC per week, with 20% of the winnings going to the team leader. To qualify, each team member must meet a minimum trading volume.

There are also lucrative incentives for those who refer others to the competition. By bringing in top-performing traders, participants can win grand prizes such as a Tesla, up to 30,000 USDC, a Rolex Submariner, or experiences like skydiving in Dubai and tickets to the Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Beyond leaderboard rankings, traders can earn guaranteed rewards simply by completing basic tasks, such as placing their first trade or participating in social media contests. Daily activity unlocks cassette tokens, which can be redeemed for USDC, while the Symbol Game adds a layer of fun with the chance to win bonus prizes, including a trip to Hawaii.

To keep the excitement going, all active participants will be automatically entered into daily lucky draws, where guaranteed USDC prizes await. Whether you’re a seasoned trader or a curious newcomer, The Summer Chase offers both the thrill of competition and the reward of participation.
