Take immediate action by clicking the Register Now button on the event page to enroll and take part in the championship. Event 1: Referral Competition: Invite friends to trade futures and grab up to 240,000 USDT Referral Prize Pool: Participants invite friends to sign up on HTX and encourage them to trade futures during the event period. Your invitees will be considered as your valid referrals, if they achieve a cumulative trading volume of ≥ 1,000 USDT. Participants must have ≥ 5 valid referrals to qualify for the referral ranking and become eligible to share 50% of the Referral Prize Pool & New Trader Prize Pool (The Referral Prize Pool and the New Trader Prize Pool each account for 50% of the total funds in the Referral Prize Pool & New Trader Prize Pool). New Trader Prize Pool: During the event period, participants who trade futures for the first time and reach a cumulative trading volume of ≥ 10,000 USDT will qualify to share 50% of the Referral Prize Pool & New Trader Prize Pool.

A prize pool of up to 360,000 USDT in Futures Trial Bonuses will be shared among the top 100 participants. However, please pay attention to the following points: Individual futures trading volume = Total opening + closing amounts during the event period. In the event of multiple participants having the same trading volume, rankings will be determined based on their PnL ratios. Event 3: Team up for shared success and vie for up to 600,000 USDT In the team-up period, participants can opt to either create their own teams or become part of established ones. A team will be deemed successfully formed when it encompasses at least 5 members. During the challenge period, team members can bolster their team's PnL by trading futures. The top 20 teams with the highest cumulative PnL will qualify to share a Team Challenge Prize Pool of up to 600,000 USDT. Team Challenge Prize Pool Here are the rules for how rewards are distributed among team members: The team leader can receive 10% of the team rewards, and the remaining rewards will be distributed based on the individual PnL rankings of team members (including the team leader). The 1st place is eligible for 30% of the team rewards, the 2nd place is eligible for 20% of the team rewards, and the 3rd place is eligible for 10% of the team rewards. Other qualifying team members can evenly split 30% of the team rewards (Each individual's share cannot exceed 10%; if it does, it will be calculated at 10%). Throughout the team-up period, team changes after joining are not permitted. For a team to be considered successfully formed, it must consist of ≥5 members. At the end of the team-up period, teams with <5 members will be dissolved, and their members will be randomly reassigned to other teams. The calculation of the team's PnL will incorporate only the PnL of team members who have reached a cumulative trading volume of ≥ 200,000 USDT. Only the realized PnL from closed positions during the event period will be included. If multiple teams or participants within a team have the same PnL, rankings will be determined based on their cumulative futures trading volume. Event 4: Lucky Draw: Complete trading tasks for a shot at winning 1 BTC During the event period, participants will receive 1 entry into the lucky draw every time they achieve a futures trading volume of 5,000 USDT in a day. Each participant has the chance to gather up to 10 entries for the lucky draw per day. Participants' trading volumes will be reset to zero when a new day starts. The lucky draw boasts generous rewards, offering a chance to win up to 1 BTC.

TUSD Attends Binance Blockchain Week as a Diamond Sponsor

TUSD

Binance Blockchain Week 2023 took place in Istanbul, Turkey from November 7-8. Themed on empowering the next billion with the future of Web3, this year's gathering focuses on how blockchain and cryptocurrencies can financially empower a billion more users around the globe. The event brought together a diverse group of top blockchain experts worldwide to discuss market dynamics in trending areas such as Web3, DeFi, and stablecoins, providing a wealth of expertise and investment insights. TUSD was invited to the conference as a top-tier Diamond Sponsor. The prospects and challenges currently faced by stablecoins came to be one of the spotlights at the conference. At the Main Stage discussion titled "Unlocking Value and Stablecoin Adoption in Asia", the guest speakers analyzed the current state and future prospects of stablecoin trading in the Asia Pacific region, while acknowledging the immense potential of stablecoins to transform the future of crypto finance. The global community has come to recognize the significance of the Web3 industry, with the Asia-Pacific region particularly stressing it as a key sector for future development. Countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore are enacting laws and providing official guidance to support the growth of their local crypto economies, and stablecoins have garnered substantial attention. Being a burgeoning epicenter for crypto development, Turkey wholeheartedly embraces crypto payments dominated by stablecoins. Now, the fluctuating exchange rate of Turkish lira has troubled the Turkish people. But stablecoins not only provide stability in value but also utilize blockchain technology for settlements, thereby reducing costs. Thus, some people believe that stablecoins can effectively alleviate this predicament and make people's lives easier. In recent years, TUSD has focused on developing multi-chain versions to inject stable and high-quality liquidity into various DeFi ecosystems, while also embracing market trends by enhancing blockchain technology adoption in real-world payments. This provides various projects with reliable crypto options and propels crypto payments. Various projects have accepted TUSD as a major payment option, including Web3 shopping platform UQUID, the crypto-friendly travel-booking platform Travala.com, and CryptoWallet.com, a one-stop shop for crypto transactions. As of now, TUSD is available on over 100 digital asset exchanges and an assortment of DeFi platforms across the globe. It has a total supply of 3,334,570,520 and 409,172 holder addresses, ranking fourth among all stablecoins in the market. A TUSD spokesperson noted, “As the world’s first dollar-pegged stablecoin that is attested live on-chain by an independent third party, TUSD strives to become the go-to choice for global crypto payment and transfers services by lowering payment costs and offering more use cases.” About TUSD TrueUSD (TUSD) is the first digital asset attested live on-chain by an independent third-party institution and pegged at 1:1 to the U.S. dollar.

Navigating Open Enrollment

YourUpdateTV

Open Enrollment season is underway, and as we look ahead to 2024, now is the time to assess health care coverage options and select the plan that is best for you and your budget. Recently, Rhonda Randall, the Chief Medical Officer of UnitedHealthcare Employer and Individual participated in a nationwide satellite media tour to share tips for navigating the Open Enrollment season. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/mhpkMs2vBGk Enrollment periods aren’t the same for everyone, so there are key dates to keep in mind depending on your circumstances. Many employers set aside a 2- to 3-week period between September and December when employees can select health benefits for the following year. But just as millions of Americans prepare to choose health insurance for next year, a recent survey revealed that 1 in 3 people (36%) spend less than 1 hour reviewing their benefits options. For most people, not making an enrollment decision means you may be locked into your current plan for the upcoming year. If anything has changed this year – either with your current plan, health status or budget – that decision to do nothing could lead to unpleasant surprises or missed cost-savings in 2024. Because everyone has unique health and budget needs, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to selecting a health plan, it’s important to stay informed before making these decisions. When choosing a health plan, here are a handful of tips that will hopefully lead to better health and cost savings: Take your time and consider all of your options Learn the language Help prevent financial surprises Check for mental health coverage Don’t forget about specialty benefits Look into wellness programs Explore virtual care services Visit UHCOpenEnrollment.com for tips, resources and information on plans in your area About Rhonda Randall Rhonda L. Randall, D.O., is the Chief Medical Officer of UnitedHealthcare Employer & Individual, the nation’s largest business serving the health coverage and well-being needs of nearly 28 million Americans. Dr. Randall collaborates with U.S. employers who are looking for quality, cost-effective, long-term solutions to health benefits for their employees and retirees. She also leads the clinical strategy development for these businesses to improve quality outcomes, ensure affordability and improve health and well-being.
