Aster recently rolled out its “Hot Picks of the Week” derivatives trading contest, giving traders the chance to compete for substantial prizes. The event took place from January 21 through January 25, 2026, with all trading activity tracked in UTC timezone. By concentrating on four high-demand trading pairs that captured community interest, the competition created an engaging environment for active traders to showcase their skills and earning potential.

Event Overview and Hot Picks Trading Pairs

The competition focused on four specific trading instruments: GWEIUSDT, OWLUSDT, RIVERUSDT, and XAGUSDT. These hot picks were selected based on their popularity and trading activity within the community. Participants could engage with any or all of these pairs throughout the competition window, with their combined performance determining their final standing in the contest.

Prize Distribution: Volume Champion vs. OI Builder Awards

The $50,000 prize pool was divided into two distinct categories, each rewarding different trading strategies. The Volume Champion award allocated $40,000 to the top traders by trading volume, with a minimum threshold of $10,000 in total trading volume per pair required to qualify. Within this category, rewards were distributed proportionally based on each trader’s share of paid trading fees relative to the total pool.

The OI Builder award offered $10,000 to traders who excelled at maintaining open positions. This award calculated scores by multiplying position size by the duration positions were held (with a minimum 1-hour holding requirement). Participants earned rewards according to their score proportion compared to all other competitors’ combined scores, incentivizing both strategic positioning and patience in the market.
