Market Volume Program


Market Volume Program

Thalex's Market Volume Pool ("MVP") is an incentive program that rewards Thalex customers who generate meaningful trading volume on Thalex.

Volume Pool Rewards

Volume Pool rewards are allocated based on a participant's share of daily maker trading volume compared to combined maker trading volume of all eligible participants in a day.

A total of up to $250,000 USDt is allocated monthly depending on total exchange volume.

An account's maker trading volume is the total volume of all trades where the account's limit order was resting in the book and was executed on by another party.

Volume Pool Size Scaling

The daily size of the Volume Pool, Pdaily, scales linearly based on the total daily exchange volume, Vdaily, across all products as a percentage of the maximum (Vmax = $120,000,000) volume threshold.

The Maximum Daily Volume Pool size, Pmax_daily, is possible if the daily equivalent of the $250,000 monthly maximum is larger than the maximum volume threshold. In other words, Pmax_daily if Vdaily > Vmax

See Terms & Conditions for the eligibility criteria and distribution rules.
