DEX ASTER has announced a $50,000 USDF trading competition focusing on commodity-based pairs, running from January 29 to February 5, 2025. The event targets XAU/USDT, XAG/USDT, XPT/USDT, and XCU/USDT pairs, aiming to enhance liquidity in tokenized real-world assets. Participants must achieve a minimum trading volume of $10,000 to qualify for rewards, which are determined by an Open Interest (OI) score rather than raw volume. The OI score system rewards traders for maintaining positions, promoting market stability and deeper liquidity. This approach reflects a strategic shift in decentralized finance, encouraging meaningful participation over high-frequency trading. The competition aligns with a broader trend of integrating real-world assets into DeFi, potentially setting a new standard for decentralized exchange incentives.
