Key Summary

Derivatives-focused exchange Zoomex opened an ETH airdrop with a 10 ETH total pool split into 3 ETH for new-user rewards and 7 ETH for futures trading incentives, running through September 28, 2026. The 70% tilt toward futures rewards is a volume-acquisition play rather than a price event: at this size the notional is immaterial to ETH spot, but incentive-driven perp activity can inflate reported venue volumes and add leverage that unwinds quickly once rewards lapse. Watch whether Zoomex open interest and funding rates hold after the campaign window, since incentive-only liquidity typically leaves order books thinner and liquidation cascades more likely on second-tier venues.
