The Bullion Rush: trade gold and silver perps for a share of $20,000 in USDG
TL;DR
The Bullion Rush is a 30-day trading competition on Kraken Futures, running August 5 through September 5, 2026, with a $20,000 prize pool paid in USDG.
It’s built around XAU Perp (gold) and XAG Perp (silver) only, ranked together on one combined leaderboard.
Rankings are based on Absolute Realized PnL (profit and loss) from closed positions, not account size or open exposure, so sharper trading beats bigger capital.
A dedicated sub-leaderboard tracks traders placing their first futures trade during the competition.
People have chased gold and silver for thousands of years. Starting August 5, we’re giving that chase a $20,000 prize pool, a 30-day clock, and one leaderboard.
