Eligibility
A Participant is eligible to participate in the Program if they:
• Sign up as a first-time Participant who has not previously registered with the Exchange or
affiliate of the Exchange;
• Are approved by the Exchange to open a trading account; and
• Execute an initial trade using at least $10.00 of funds from the Participant's account within
30 calendar days of account approval.
The qualifying initial trade must occur in one transaction. If the funds used to satisfy the $10.00
qualifying trade requirement are returned by the Exchange's payment processor or settlement bank
for any reason, the Participant will be disqualified from the Program. A Participant who has
received Incentive Funds (as defined below) based on such trading will be required to return the
Incentive Funds.
To remain eligible for the Program, a Participant must not be the subject of an open compliance
investigation or review and must not have a suspended or restricted account at the time the
Incentive Funds are credited or used.
Continued eligibility for the Program is also conditioned on the accuracy and completeness of the
information provided during the Participant's account opening process. If the Exchange determines
that a Participant was not eligible for the Program based on information submitted in connection
with the application, the Participant may have their eligibility revoked, be disqualified from the
Program, and be required to return any Incentive Funds previously received.
Incentive Funds
Upon satisfying all eligibility requirements, the Exchange will credit $20.00 (the “Incentive
Funds”) to the Participant’s Exchange account within 1 calendar day. Credits are typically issued by Noon ET each day for the previous day's qualifiers. Please note the trade must be fully settled and not just submitted.
Incentive Funds may be used as funds on new trades and may be withdrawn only upon position
settlement. Upon opening positions, Incentive Funds will be utilized before other funds to
collateralize the new positions. Incentive Funds must be used for trading within 45 calendar days
of being credited. After 45 calendar days, unused Incentive Funds will be automatically forfeited
back to the Exchange. Each Participant is eligible to receive Incentive Funds under the Program
only once.
Program Term
The Program applies to all markets and all Market Participants on the Exchange. The Program will
be effective on June 29, 2026, which is no earlier than ten (10) business days following its
certification to the CFTC.
The end date of the Program is the later of:
• Fifty-two (52) weeks from the start date; and
• 500,000 Participants successfully onboarded under the Program,
unless extended or earlier terminated by the Exchange. The Program may be extended on the same
or modified terms, subject to any required CFTC filings, certifications, or approvals.
Program Administration
The Program is subject to the Exchange's Rulebook and all applicable provisions of the
Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC regulations promulgated thereunder. Participation in the
Program is subject to the Exchange's authority and obligations under its Rulebook and applicable
law. The Exchange may modify, suspend, terminate, withdraw, or otherwise amend the Program
from time to time, subject to any required CFTC filings, certifications, or approvals.
