OKX launches Africa Trading Sprint with $35,000 prize pool

The global crypto exchange OKX has announced the launch of its Africa Trading Sprint, a regional campaign designed to reward active traders across the continent. Running from September 15 to October 20, 2025, the competition features a prize pool of USDT 35,000, alongside bonuses and exclusive perks for top performers.

According to the exchange, participants must register through the OKX Campaign Center by selecting “Join now” before making deposits or trades. New and existing users are eligible, provided they have completed the platform’s identity verification process. OKX emphasized that only registered users’ activity will count toward the promotion.

The campaign offers several entry-level incentives to attract first-time participants. Users who deposit 50 USDT or more through approved methods,including fiat gateways and peer-to-peer channels,are eligible for a 5 USDT bonus, provided the funds remain in their accounts for at least three days. A second 5 USDT reward is unlocked once a participant places a first trade of 50 USDT or more.

Beyond initial bonuses, the competition places strong emphasis on trading activity. A real-time leaderboard will showcase the continent’s top traders, with higher rewards reserved for those generating significant trading volumes. Traders who surpass USDT 100,000 in volume during the campaign will also qualify for OKX’s VIP programme, offering additional benefits such as reduced fees and priority services.

The Africa Trading Sprint shows  OKX’s growing interest in the region and Africa’s expanding role in global crypto adoption. With countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa emerging as leading digital asset markets, exchanges are increasingly using competitive events to attract and retain users.

By combining accessible entry requirements with large-scale incentives, OKX aims to deepen engagement with Africa’s retail trading community while positioning itself as a leading platform for crypto activity on the continent.
