Bullion Rush is a 30-day trading competition on Kraken Futures. The competition starts on August 5, 2026, and ends on September 5, 2026. It focuses on XAU Perp (gold) and XAG Perp (silver) markets, with rankings on a single leaderboard. The prize pool for the competition is $20,000 in USDG. ## Competition Details To participate, you need to trade XAU Perp or XAG Perp on Kraken Futures. Rankings are based on Absolute Realized PnL (Profit and Loss) from closed positions. Account size or open positions do not affect the rankings. This means smaller accounts can outperform larger ones with better trading strategies. ## Prize Pool and Rankings The competition's prize pool is $20,000 in USDG, distributed among the top 120 participants. Since rankings are based on Absolute Realized PnL, even a smaller account can surpass larger ones with effective trading. Additionally, there is a separate sub-leaderboard for traders placing their first futures trade during the competition. ## How to Participate If you already trade perpetual futures on Kraken Futures, you're ready to join. Trade XAU Perp or XAG Perp between August 5 and September 5 to climb the leaderboard. If you're new to Kraken Futures, you can activate futures trading on your existing account and participate in the competition. ## The Importance of the Competition Bullion Rush offers a chance to test your trading skills. The competition focuses on trading quality rather than account size, providing a fair platform for all participants. This is particularly advantageous for smaller investors. ## Trading Window and Flexibility XAU Perp and XAG Perp are markets that trade 24/7 on Kraken Futures. This means every hour during the competition is crucial. You can trade at any time during the competition and aim to rise in the leaderboard. ## Opportunity for Beginners The competition also offers an opportunity for beginners. Traders placing their first futures trade during the competition will be ranked on a separate sub-leaderboard. This ensures that beginners compete among themselves rather than against experienced traders. ## Conclusion and Takeaways Bullion Rush is an exciting competition for those interested in trading gold and silver. It offers a chance to test your trading skills and win prizes. To participate, simply register through the Kraken Pro app or website. ## Sources covering this story - https://blog.kraken.com/product/promotions/the-bullion-rush — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
