Seychelles-based crypto derivatives exchange Bit.com has announced the launch of Bitcoin Cash (BCH) perpetual contracts trading, and incentivized users to try them out by offering $100,000 worth of BCH as a giveaway.
We are excited to launch #BCH perpetual swaps today.
Come and trade with us to share in $100,000.🌟

“Bit.com launches BCH perpetual swaps, $100,000 in BCH to Be Won,” the exchange announced, adding, “New users have to trade the perpetual contract at least once during the event period, and the trading pair is not limited.”
Perpetual swaps are derivative contracts akin to futures—but with several key differences. For example, they don’t have any expiration date (meaning that users may hold them indefinitely) and their underlying asset itself is never actually traded. Additionally, the swap price closely tracks the price of the underlying asset and such contracts can be easily shorted.
The campaign will last for a week—from January 20 to January 27. However, Bit.com stressed that only people who never used any of its products previously will be considered “new users”—and thus eligible for the giveaway. Furthermore, each account will be limited to a maximum of $10 reward in BCH while “cheating will not be rewarded.”
“BCH airdrop rewards will be distributed to the Bit.com account within three days after the event ends,” the platform explained.
Bit.com was established in February 2019 by Matrixport, a crypto-financial services platform that sprouted from mining equipment giant Bitmain Technologies. The latter’s CEO Jihan Wu is also one of Matrixport’s co-founders and investors—alongside Standard Crypto, IDG Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners.
As Decrypt reported, Wu has been locked in a battle for control over Bitmain against the company’s other co-founder, Micree Zhan, for over a year. On December 31, Zhan has reportedly bought Wu out of the company for $600 million. Some commentators have speculated that Wu will soon return to Matrixport.
Metaplanet Inc. plans to establish a wholly owned subsidiary in Florida, aiming to raise $250 million to further fuel its Bitcoin treasury strategy. The Tokyo-listed investment firm, which crossed the 5,000 BTC threshold last week, will operate its new entity as Metaplanet Treasury Corp. to expand its access to U.S. institutional investors and bolster 24-hour operations across time zones. "The reason for choosing Florida is clear: the state is rapidly emerging as a global hub for Bitcoin innovat...
Medical device company Semler Scientific purchased another 165 Bitcoin for $15.7 million between the dates of April 25-29, bolstering its Bitcoin treasury to 3,467 BTC. The purchase marks the firm’s second major Bitcoin acquisition in the last week after it announced that it added 111 BTC for $10 million on April 25. As of Wednesday, Semler’s Bitcoin treasury is valued at more than $327 million. “We bleed orange,” Semler Scientific Chairman Eric Semler posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), j...
Galaxy Digital Holdings plans to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market next month, the firm said Wednesday in a statement, a byproduct of the pro crypto pivot of U.S. federal regulators and policymakers. The listing, which is subject to shareholder approval, will tentatively go live on May 16, according to Galaxy Digital's statement. The company's Class A common stock will trade under the ticker GLXY. In listing on the Global Select Market, Galaxy Digital aims to broaden its access to capital,...
