Binance has rolled out its February Monthly Challenge for Dual Investment users, dangling up to 8,888 USDC in combined rewards for traders willing to lock up significant capital in the structured product.

The promotion runs from February 3 through February 28, 2026, with rewards distributed within 14 days after the challenge ends.

How the Reward Structure Works

The challenge splits rewards into two pools. The primary leaderboard competition offers up to 5,888 USDC distributed among the top 100 participants, ranked by average subscription amount. There’s a catch though—positions must be held for a minimum of seven days to qualify.

A separate bonus tier targets whale-sized accounts. Users maintaining average Dual Investment subscriptions exceeding $5 million earn an additional 100 USDC for every $100,000 subscribed beyond that threshold, capped at 3,000 USDC.

What Is Dual Investment?

For those unfamiliar, Dual Investment is Binance’s structured product letting users commit to buying or selling crypto at a predetermined future price and date. In exchange for this commitment, participants earn yield—currently advertised at 15% APR or higher depending on market conditions and selected parameters.

The product supports major tokens including BTC, ETH, SOL, and BNB. It’s essentially a covered call or cash-secured put strategy packaged for retail users who want yield but can stomach potential assignment risk.

Participation Requirements

Entry requires completed identity verification (KYC) and clicking the ‘Join Now’ button on the promotion page. Given the $5 million threshold for bonus rewards, Binance is clearly targeting institutional-sized retail accounts and high-net-worth traders rather than casual participants.

The timing coincides with Binance delisting several perpetual contracts—BIDUSDT, DMCUSDT, ZRCUSDT, and TANSSIUSDT—which settled on January 21. The exchange appears to be redirecting user attention toward its yield products as it prunes lower-volume derivatives.

Rewards hit accounts by March 14, 2026. Whether the yield-plus-bonus math beats simply holding spot positions depends entirely on where BTC and ETH land by month’s end.
