By participating in the BTC Price Projection Promotion ("Promotion"), you agree to these Official Rules, the CEX.IO Promotion and Reward Center Terms, and the CEX.IO Terms of Use, which each form a contract. Read them carefully before participating. This Promotion is a knowledge- and skill-based projection program and does not include any elements of a sweepstakes, contest, lottery, or game of chance; the winner is determined by objective market data according to fixed rules set forth herein.
1. Sponsor
The sponsor of this Promotion is CEX.IO Corp. (to the extent it is identified as your contractual counterparty under the applicable Terms of Use, referred to in these Official Rules as "CEX.IO" or "Sponsor").
2. Promotion Period
The Promotion runs on a recurring weekly cycle. Each weekly cycle consists of a Projection Window and a Determination Date as defined below. For the current cycle:
Projection Window opens: Monday, June 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM UTC
Projection Window closes: Tuesday, June 9, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM UTC (24 hours after the Projection Post)
Determination Date: Wednesday, June 10, 2026, at 12:00 PM UTC
CEX.IO reserves the right to run subsequent weekly cycles on the same schedule (each Monday/Wednesday cadence) without issuing separate Official Rules, provided that material changes to these Rules will be disclosed in advance. Each weekly cycle constitutes a separate, independent Promotion.
3. Eligible Areas
Offered only where CEX.IO provides service and where permitted by applicable law, for eligible users who are legal residents of the United States. CEX.IO’s licenses and corresponding required disclosures can be found on the Licenses and Registrations page, which is incorporated here by reference. Void where prohibited or restricted by law.
4. Eligibility
You are eligible to participate in the Promotion if, at the time of entry and during the Period, you:
are a legal resident of the United States where CEX.IO may lawfully make the Promotion and its Services available.
submit your projection comment on the applicable Projection Post on the CEX.IO official Telegram channel or X (formerly Twitter) account within the Projection Window, in accordance with Section 5;
comply with the Terms of Use, Promotion and Reward Center Terms, and these Official Rules; and
are not otherwise ineligible under applicable law.
To receive a Reward, the winner must also satisfy the additional requirements set forth in Section 8 (Distribution and Claim). Initial participation in the Promotion does not require a CEX.IO Account; however, receipt of a Reward does.
No purchase, payment, deposit, or trade is required to enter or win the Promotion. Completing a Qualifying Trade does not increase a participant's likelihood of being selected as the winner. Winner selection is determined solely in accordance with Section 6 based on the accuracy of the participant's submitted price projection compared to the Reference Price
CEX.IO may restrict or deny participation or the award of any Reward where required by law, regulatory requirements, fraud and AML controls, banking partner requirements, or risk policies, as contemplated by the Terms of Use.
5. How to Participate
5.1 Projection Post. At 12:00 PM UTC each Monday, CEX.IO will publish a post (the "Projection Post") on its official Telegram channel and X account inviting users to submit a projection of the BTC/USD price as it will appear on the CEX.IO Spot Trading terminal at 12:00 PM UTC on the following Wednesday ("Determination Date").
5.2 How to Submit. To enter, you must post a comment directly under the applicable Projection Post on the respective platform (Telegram or X) that clearly states a specific numerical BTC/USD price projection (the "Eligible Comment"). Comments submitted via direct message, reply to a third-party comment, or by any means other than a direct comment to the Projection Post will not be considered.
5.3 Projection Window. Only Eligible Comments submitted within twenty-four (24) hours of the publication of the Projection Post will be considered for the Promotion. Comments submitted or redacted after the Projection Window closes will be ineligible regardless of their content.
5.4 One Entry Per Person. Only one (1) Eligible Comment per person and per weekly cycle will be considered. If a user submits multiple comments under the same Projection Post on the same platform, only the first submitted comment will be eligible; subsequent comments will be disregarded.
6. Winner Determination
6.1 Reference Price. On the Determination Date, at 12:00 PM UTC, CEX.IO will record the BTC/USD price as displayed on the CEX.IO Spot Trading terminal (the "Reference Price").
6.2 Winner Selection. The winner is the eligible participant whose submitted price projection is the closest to the Reference Price, whether above or below, as determined by the smallest absolute difference between the submitted price projection and the Reference Price, calculated to 7 decimal places. There is one (1) winner per weekly cycle across both social media platforms combined. Winner selection is determined solely by objective comparison of submitted projections to the Reference Price, with no element of chance, random selection, or editorial discretion.
6.3 Tiebreaker Rules. In the event that two or more eligible participants submit identical projections that are equally close to the Reference Price, the following tiebreaker rules apply in order:
If only one of the tied participants completed a Qualifying Trade (as defined in Section 7) during the Trading Window, that participant is the winner.
If both (or all) tied participants completed a Qualifying Trade during the Trading Window, the participant whose Eligible Comment was submitted earliest (based on platform timestamp) is the winner.
If no tied participants completed a Qualifying Trade, the participant whose Eligible Comment was submitted earliest (based on platform timestamp) is the winner.
6.4 Results Announcement. At 12:00 PM UTC on the Determination Date, CEX.IO will publish a new post on its official Telegram channel and X account disclosing the Reference Price and identifying the winner.
7. Qualifying Trade and Reward Tier
7.1 Trading Window. The Trading Window is the period beginning at the time of publication of the Projection Post (Monday, 12:00 PM UTC) and ending at the Determination Date (Wednesday, 12:00 PM UTC).
7.2 Applicable Reward Tier. Following winner determination pursuant to Section 6, CEX.IO will determine the applicable Reward tier. A winner who completed a Qualifying Trade during the Trading Window will be eligible to receive 300 USD equivalent in BTC. A winner who did not complete a Qualifying Trade during the Trading Window will be eligible to receive 100 USD equivalent in BTC. Completion of a Qualifying Trade is not required to participate in the Promotion and does not affect winner selection.
7.3 Qualifying Trade. A "Qualifying Trade" means any trade in BTC of any amount, in any direction (buy or sell), executed on the CEX.IO Platform using one of the following trading products: Convert, Spot Trading, or Margin Trading, that: (a) constitutes an "Authorised Transaction" or equivalent concept under the Terms of Use; (b) is successfully executed and settled to the user's Account; and (c) is not, and has not been, returned, reversed, rejected, disputed, cancelled, or otherwise undone or invalidated.
8. Reward
8.1 Reward Structure. Following winner determination under Section 6, the applicable Reward shall be:
100 USD equivalent in BTC where the winner did not complete a Qualifying Trade during the Trading Window; or
300 USD equivalent in BTC where the winner completed a Qualifying Trade during the Trading Window.
No purchase, payment, or trade is required to enter or win the Promotion. Completion of a Qualifying Trade does not improve a participant's chances of winning. The winner is determined solely by reference to the accuracy of the participant's submitted BTC/USD price estimate as compared to the Reference Price.
8.2 Conversion and Exchange Rate. The Reward is denominated and credited in BTC. The USD equivalent will be converted to BTC based on the prevailing BTC/USD market exchange rate as displayed on the CEX.IO Platform at the time of Reward calculation. CEX.IO is not responsible for any fluctuations in the price of BTC between the time of determination, the time of credit, and any subsequent withdrawal.
8.3 Distribution and Claim. Following the identification of the winner pursuant to Section 6.4, CEX.IO will contact the winner via direct message on the same platform on which the winning Eligible Comment was submitted, requesting the winner's CEX.IO User ID. Upon receipt and verification of the User ID, the Reward will be credited to the winner's CEX.IO BTC wallet within seven (7) business days. If the winner does not respond or cannot be reached within a reasonable period as determined by CEX.IO, or if the winner is determined to be ineligible, CEX.IO reserves the right to award the Reward to the next closest eligible participant.
8.4 New User Registration. If the winner does not have an existing CEX.IO Account, they must register on the CEX.IO Platform, complete all applicable verification requirements, and be a resident of an Eligible Area in order to receive the Reward. CEX.IO is not responsible for any delay in Reward distribution resulting from a winner's failure to timely complete registration or verification.
8.5 Nature of Reward. Once credited to the winner's CEX.IO BTC wallet, the Reward is fully withdrawable and transferable, subject to the Platform's standard security verification and withdrawal procedures.
9. Disqualification
CEX.IO may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, disqualify any participant and withhold, reverse, cancel, or claw back any Reward where CEX.IO, at its sole discretion, determines that the participant has engaged in any of the following ("Prohibited Conduct"):
Creating or operating multiple social media accounts, or coordinating with others, to submit multiple projections or otherwise circumvent the one-entry-per-person rule or any other eligibility requirement.

Any other misuse, abuse, or bad-faith conduct in connection with the Promotion.
