Why Crypto Exchanges are Paying to Keep You Trading

Zoomex offered eligible copy traders up to 50 USDT in non-withdrawable bonus credit for first-week net realized losses under a loss-compensation campaign that ran from Sept. 16 to Oct. 13, Marketing Director Fernando Aranda said at TOKEN2049. Copy trading lets users automatically follow another trader’s positions. Aranda linked the approach to retention pressure and to trading activity diverging from prices: crypto’s total market value rose 39.6% in the third quarter of 2026, while spot volume across the top 10 centralized exchanges fell 14.2%, CoinGecko data showed. He also cited contracts tied to traditional assets, prediction markets and team competitions as ways to attract and retain users.
