Zoomex Monthly Transparency Report: September 2026

What Happened

September was the month crypto took three hits that were supposed to break it and kept climbing anyway. A Federal Reserve rate hike, a failed Senate vote on the CLARITY Act, and the worst month for hacks of 2026 all landed within weeks of each other, yet Bitcoin finished the month up more than 6% after printing an eight month high above $87,000 on September 21. Behind the price action, Zoomex used the month to open its biggest trading championship yet with a record prize pool of up to 5 million USDT, push its TradFi Stock Perpetuals past 50 contracts and add six ETF perpetuals, widen its Prediction Markets, and mark a double points finish for the TGR Haas F1 Team in Baku, proof that Easy to Use and Transparent by Design hold up when the headlines turn ugly just as well as when they turn euphoric.

September’s stress test was different from August’s whipsaw, a rate hike, a regulatory defeat, and a nearly $770 million hack total compressed into a single month, with the hacks concentrated in custody and credential infrastructure rather than smart contract bugs. The regulatory registrations listed in Zoomex’s September disclosures — Canada MSB, US MSB, US NFA, and Australia AUSTRAC, remained the same, and the platform’s Hacken audits and Proof of Reserves framework continued to do what they are designed to do: let users verify balances and reserves for themselves rather than take a platform’s word for it.

On September 10 it spotlighted TSLA and NVDA as flagship names, and on September 17 it added six ETF perpetuals, SPYUSDT, QQQUSDT, IWMUSDT, XLFUSDT, XLKUSDT, and TQQQUSDT, giving traders round-the-clock exposure to broad market, tech, financial and small-cap benchmarks. The timing fit the moment: the ETF launch arrived in the very week the Fed announced its first hike in three years, when Nasdaq-linked products like QQQ and TQQQ sat at the center of the rate debate.

Having run a first Zero-Fee TradFi event from August 28 to September 4, Zoomex relaunched the campaign for a full month, running from September 11 to October 11.

On September 10, Zoomex launched the Zoomex World Trading Championship 2026, returning for its third year with a prize pool of up to 5 million USDT, the largest in the competition’s history.

Alongside the championship launch, Zoomex put its futures focused Copy Trading Hub in the spotlight, built around one click execution, published trader performance data and rule based profit sharing.

Return on investment and cumulative profit and loss are charted over selectable windows of 7, 30 and 90 days, so users can judge a trader across timeframes instead of relying on a single flattering snapshot, which is Transparent by Design in practice.

The long horizon slate asks the questions the industry argues about all year, including whether HYPE will flip SOL by year end, whether China will unban Bitcoin by 2027, whether Bitcoin, gold or the S&P 500 will win 2026, and whether MicroStrategy will announce bankruptcy before 2027, each with a live probability gauge, a running volume figure and settlement against published resolution criteria rather than discretionary calls. The same month’s shortest markets showed the other end of the spectrum, with Bitcoin’s 5-minute Up or Down contract the most active market on the board at roughly $11 million in volume.

Market Context

None of that changed what Zoomex actually is: a platform focused on Derivatives, running sub-10ms execution on a dual liquidity pool architecture that blends internal depth with aggregated external liquidity, wrapped in a minimalist interface built to hold up whichever direction volatility breaks. The platform continues to serve over 3 million registered users across 35-plus regions, with 700-plus trading pairs spanning Perpetual USDT, Inverse Perpetuals, Spot, tokenized equities, and Predict Market contracts, and a Stock Contracts offering that now spans more than 200 global stocks, indices, and ETFs.

September opened with Zoomex confirming that its Stock Perpetuals lineup had grown past 50 contracts, one of the largest product expansions in the exchange’s history, and a week later the platform detailed the expansion across four new categories of global equities, all margined and settled in USDT and trading around the clock rather than closing with Wall Street.

The event rebates 100% of actual trading fees on eligible TradFi products, capped at 100 USDT per account, across Stock Contracts, Commodity Contracts on gold, silver and crude oil, and Stock Tokens, removing the cost of simply placing a trade for anyone wanting to test the platform’s TradFi offering.

The format expands across crypto perpetuals, stock contracts, AI-powered trading, a team competition with up to 2.5 million USDT in prizes, a solo battle, and a Rewards Zone with up to 1.5 million USDT.

The Squad Competition opened on September 21, ranking teams on three separate boards for profit rate, trading volume, and community popularity, and runs through October 11, a structure designed to reward teams for performance and participation, not just for the biggest account on the leaderboard.

Copy Trading Hub Under the Spotlight

On September 13, Zoomex’s X article on the hub put the pitch in plain terms: ROI, win rate and AUM visible on every trader profile, profit share shown up front, orders with IDs instead of screenshots, and the same rules for every copier. On September 16 the platform added a first week Copy Trading loss compensation campaign, offering up to 50 USDT in Copy Trading Bonus for eligible first week net realized losses through October 13.

Prediction Markets Go Long

On September 18, Zoomex expanded the Long-Term category of its Prediction Markets, which now accounts for 49 of the platform’s 70 live markets, alongside 5-minute, 15-minute, and 4-hour contracts.

On September 14, Zoomex published a plain-language guide to individual KYC, leading with the point most traders ask about first, verification is optional to trade. It only becomes necessary when withdrawals exceed 100 BTC a day, with Lv.0 accounts capped at 100 BTC daily and Lv.1 verification lifting the limit to 200 BTC.
