Moomoo’s Second Global Paper Trading Competition, Powered by Nasdaq TotalView, Hits 150,000 Participants in Two Days
JERSEY CITY, N.J., Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading global investment and trading platform Moomoo announced that its second Global Paper Trading Competition (“Competition”) has attracted over 150,000 participants in just two days since launch, underscoring strong global interest in the event.
Powered by Nasdaq TotalView®, the Competition also integrates advanced AI-powered tools for participants to experience smarter investing made simple. Starting October 12 (EST), users are invited to join the Competition, trade with virtual money at zero risk, and compete for a share of $200,000 in cash rewards. The Competition saw immense traction from the start, reaching 100,000 participants within the first 24 hours and surpassing 150,000 shortly after.
Similar to last year, all participants will receive 1-month free access to Nasdaq TotalView®, offered by Moomoo’s global strategic partner Nasdaq. This year’s competition, themed “Moove to the Next Level”, offers an enhanced experience where users can compete with global peers, complete educational tasks, sharpen their investing skills, and even earn a chance to be featured on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square, New York.
Participants will paper trade U.S. stocks, ETFs, and options with a $100,000 virtual fund, aiming to achieve the highest returns over a six-week period, which includes pre-market, intraday, and post-market trading hours. For the first time, Moomoo is integrating Moomoo AI, its powerful AI assistant, into the Competition. Moomoo AI, designed to break down complexity and lower the barrier of entry for high-level market insights instantly, will be available 24/7 to answer participants’ questions throughout the Competition.
By completing tasks and progressing through different stages, participants will experience an immersive “leveling-up” journey. Along the way, they’ll earn Moomoo Tokens, which can be redeemed for cash prizes at the end of the Competition.
"Moove" to The Next Level While Gaining Exciting Prizes and Global Recognition
Moomoo has prepared a wide range of rewards for outstanding competitors. The global top three participants based on cumulative returns will receive $10,000, $3,000, and $1,000 cash rewards, respectively.
In addition, regional champions will be recognized across markets where Moomoo and its sister brand operate, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, and Hong Kong SAR. Both global top three and regional top one winners will receive an exclusive Moomoo x Nasdaq trophy celebrating their exceptional performance.
This year, Moomoo is also offering a unique opportunity for users to be featured in the final celebration video on the Nasdaq Tower. A select number of registered participants will be chosen based on their final performance and contributions to the Moomoo community.
“Survey data from last year’s Global Paper Trading Competition shows that our initiative appeals not only to beginner investors — 18% of participants had over 10 years of trading experience,” said Neil McDonald, CEO of Moomoo US. “Paper trading competitions offer a valuable, risk-free way for investors of all levels to improve their skills. This year, we’ve added options trading, Moomoo AI, and even more educational tools to help our users enhance both their trading abilities and financial literacy.”
“The enthusiasm from Moomoo’s global community during last year’s competition underscored a growing appetite for smarter, data-driven investing,” said Brandon Tepper, Senior Vice President, Global Head of Data at Nasdaq. “We’re proud to continue our collaboration by providing access to Nasdaq TotalView® Depth of Book Data, our most comprehensive market data feed.
