May 22nd holds a special place in the history of the crypto world, marking the anniversary of the first documented purchase of a physical good using Bitcoin. This seminal event, now known as Bitcoin Pizza Day, commemorates the moment in 2010 when programmer Laszlo Hanyecz exchanged 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, a transaction that highlighted Bitcoin’s potential as a medium of exchange. To celebrate this significant date, the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC has launched a dedicated promotional campaign targeted at users in Ukraine.
In anticipation of Bitcoin Pizza Day, MEXC introduced the “BTC Pizza Day Party” event, offering users a chance to participate in trading activities and compete for valuable rewards. The total prize pool for this initiative is set at 80,000 USDT.
The promotion is running from 13:00 on May 16, 2025, until 18:00 on May 31, 2025, providing participants with several weeks to engage.
Event Components
The “BTC Pizza Day Party” features two primary ways for users to earn rewards:
Fearless Futures Trading Festival (Exclusive for New Users)
This component is designed specifically for users who are new to MEXC. To qualify, participants must:
• Create a new MEXC account.
• Deposit at least 100 USDT.
• Execute their first futures trade (of any amount).
A key benefit for new traders is that potential losses from their initial futures trades may be covered up to 50%. Rewards for this segment are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Futures Points Frenzy
Open to all MEXC users, this part of the promotion allows participants to accumulate points by trading futures contracts. The more futures trading volume a user generates, the more points they earn, increasing their chances of winning exclusive prizes. The rewards available in this category include sought-after items such as a Samsung Neo QLED Smart TV, a MacBook Air, and a Red Solution Loona Petbot.
MEXC has emphasized that this specific “BTC Pizza Day Party” event is exclusively available to its user base in Ukraine. This tailored promotion underscores the platform’s commitment to supporting and engaging the Ukrainian market.
The exchange aims for this campaign to not only celebrate the cultural milestone of Bitcoin Pizza Day but also to offer users engaging opportunities to explore futures trading and potentially win substantial prizes.
MEXC is recognized globally, serving over 40 million users, attributed to its platform features like rapid token listings, extensive altcoin variety, robust liquidity, competitive trading fees, and frequent airdrops. The platform consistently strives to simplify access to cryptocurrency trading and enhance the user experience through various events and trading tools.
