What is Battle Trade?
Battle Trade is a trading-activation platform. Exchanges, venues, and token teams hire us to run competition series, produced as live shows, where creators trade real markets on camera and bring their audiences in as first-time traders. Anyone can join a series free at /competitions.
A venue's hardest problem is top-of-funnel: real sign-ups, first deposits, and volume from people who trust the platform. Battle Trade turns that into a show. We cast creators from a managed roster, produce a co-branded broadcast, and hand the sponsor a verified report where every sign-up traces back to the creator who drove it.
