BitMEX kicked off a new campaign this week called Copy and Conquer, dangling a 50,000 USDT prize pool for traders who copy or reverse-copy the platform's top performers. The promotion runs from May 14 to June 14, 2026, and is open to fully verified users.
What the campaign offers
New users can snag up to $50 in loss protection on their first copy trade. If they choose a reverse copy trade — essentially betting against the lead trader — they can get up to $50 in bonus profits if the trade is profitable. For everyone, there's up to $500 in trading credits tied to copy trading volume tiers. The higher your copy volume, the more credits you unlock.
How reverse copy works
BitMEX introduced copy trading in 2025 with a twist: you can reverse copy, meaning you take the opposite position of the trader you're following. It's a differentiator in a market where most platforms only let you mirror trades. The exchange also lets users copy top Hyperliquid traders, pulling in activity from that ecosystem.
Verification and security
To join, users must be fully verified — no shortcuts. BitMEX has been pushing transparency: it claims no crypto has been lost to hacking since its founding, and it publishes proof-of-reserves and proof-of-liabilities data twice a week. That's a selling point for a platform that's been around since the early derivatives boom.
The campaign deadline is June 14 at 11:59 UTC. Whether the reverse copy feature draws a crowd or remains a niche experiment is something the prize pool should help answer.
