  • KuCoin Futures Elite+ program lets lead traders earn up to 32% of copier profits in their first month.
  • Expert, Master, and Legend traders can earn monthly salaries of up to 700 USDT alongside profit sharing.
  • Eligible traders moving from other platforms can receive up to 2,000 USDT in starting capital.

KuCoin has launched its new Futures Elite+ Lead Trader Program to give experienced and new copy-trading leaders more ways to earn when other traders follow their strategies.

The program offers several benefits, including profit sharing, free starting capital, higher tiers for experienced traders, monthly salaries, and promotional support. The campaign runs from September 6, 2026, at 16:00 UTC to November 30, 2026, at 15:59 UTC.

Key rewards include up to 32% profit share, up to 2,000 USDT in free starting capital, and a monthly salary of up to 700 USDT for traders who meet the required level.

KuCoin Offers Up to 32% Profit Share

Profit sharing is one of the main benefits of KuCoin’s Futures Elite+ program. New lead traders start with a 20% profit share for their first month. They can increase this to 32% if, within their first 30 days, they either:

  • Attract at least 3 copiers, or
  • Reach 1,000 USDT in copier assets.

After the first month, profit share is determined by KuCoin’s tiered system based on trader performance. The five levels are:

  • Beginner: 10%
  • Advanced: 15%
  • Expert: 20%
  • Master: 25%
  • Legend: 32%

KuCoin says lead traders receive their share of copier profits daily.

Experienced Traders Can Keep Their Tier

KuCoin’s program also supports experienced traders who are moving from other copy-trading platforms. Instead of starting at the lowest level, eligible traders can apply to transfer their existing tier to KuCoin. 

They can submit trading records from their previous platform, including:

  • Win rate
  • Sharpe ratio
  • Maximum drawdown
  • Copier profits
  • Copier assets under management (AUM)

KuCoin will review these results and decide the trader’s new tier. Eligible traders may receive the same or a higher tier and its benefits. Traders can apply through their assigned KuCoin business development representative.

Up to 2,000 USDT in Starting Capital

Experienced lead traders moving from other copy-trading platforms can also receive 200 to 2,000 USDT in starting capital. The amount depends on their performance over the previous 90 days. KuCoin looks at factors such as:

  • Copier profits and losses
  • Copier assets
  • Maximum drawdown
  • Number of copiers

This allows experienced traders to test their strategies on KuCoin without providing all the starting funds themselves. However, tier migration and starting-capital benefits are only available to traders moving from other platforms.

Monthly Salary of Up to 700 USDT

KuCoin also offers a monthly salary to higher-level lead traders. Traders at the Expert level or above can earn a monthly salary of up to 700 USDT:

  • Expert: 100 USDT
  • Master: 350 USDT
  • Legend: 700 USDT

Beginner and Advanced traders do not receive a monthly salary. This gives experienced lead traders an extra income source in addition to their share of copier profits.
