Hey traders — if you’re not already deep in Bitget futures, October 2025 may be the month that changes your game. As of October 2, Bitget is rolling out two simultaneous FF token events tied to contract trading and CandyBomb rewards. Collectively, they offer 700,000 FF tokens — 400,000 FF from the Contract New Coin event, and 300,000 FF via CandyBomb — before their respective endings on October 7 and October 6.
For context, FF (Falcon Finance) is the utility token behind a growing DeFi ecosystem — it enables discounted fees, governance voting, and more. And with Bitget’s user base surpassing 25 million, these events aren’t just gimmicks — they’re serious opportunities to stack FF.
In this article, we’ll demystify FF, break down both events, share strategies to avoid being “rekt,” and explain why this might be your ticket to better token yields.
What Is FF (Falcon Finance)?
Before diving into the events, let’s get acquainted with FF. Contrary to meme tokens, FF is the utility backbone of Falcon Finance, operating across BSC and Ethereum L2s. It powers features like:
- Lending / borrowing,
- Yield farming (auto-compounded),
- Governance voting,
- Gas rebates, and
- Protocol integration perks.
Launched in early 2025 with backing from Binance Labs, FF quickly entered exchanges (including Bitget) and spiked to a ~$200 million market cap amid the stablecoin craze.
Additionally, Falcon’s “Vault” system recently integrated with Pendle to offer fixed-yield locks, pushing total value locked (TVL) over $500 million. Holders currently enjoy up to 20% trading fee discounts on Bitget plus priority access to airdrops.
According to Bitget’s official announcement, the dual token events (New Coin + CandyBomb) are live and open to all eligible traders. (Bitget)
Event 1: Contract New Coin (400,000 FF Up for Grabs)
From now until October 7 at 23:59 UTC, Bitget is hosting its Contract New Coin event with two reward pools: Newcomer Leaderboard and Placement Matches. The total prize: 400,000 FF. (Bitget)
✅ Newcomer Leaderboard
This is ideal for newer traders. Requirements:
- Deposit ≥ 100 USDT (net, pre-event),
- Make at least one contract trade of ≥ 500 USDT (FF perpetuals permitted, up to 50×).
Once eligible, you compete in rankings against other newcomers. The first 1,000 entrants share a 10,000 FF pool (≈ 10 FF each), but top performers scale up to 30,000 FF depending on volume tiers.
Volume tiers typically look like:
| Tier | Minimum Volume | Reward (FF) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 1,000 USDT | ~500 FF |
| Silver | 5,000 USDT | ~2,000 FF |
| Diamond | ≥ 50,000 USDT | Up to 30,000 FF |
You only need basic KYC to participate, and both isolated and cross margin trades count.
🚀 Placement Matches (Pro Tier)
Open to all traders (new and experienced), Placement Matches pits you in volume battles. Top 50 participants divide the pro pool — the #1 spot might snag ~50,000 FF, with 1,000 FF for #50. The net pro pool, after newcomer allocations, is ~390,000 FF. (RootData)
Because the FF/USDT market has tight spreads (~0.02%), high-leverage plays (e.g., 10×) could pay off if the market stays favorable.
Event 2: CandyBomb (300,000 FF Pool)
While the New Coin event is the sprint, CandyBomb is more of a quest-driven rewards engine. Running until October 6 (22:30 UTC+8) (Bitget), CandyBomb rewards up to 1,000 FF per user based on contract trading volumes. There’s no lottery — if you hit the milestones, you unlock rewards directly.
Typical quest tiers might include:
- 5,000 USDT → 200 FF
- 20,000 USDT → 600 FF
- 50,000 USDT → 1,000 FF
All your contract volumes count (futures, options, etc.), and you can stack CandyBomb with the New Coin event, effectively earning from both.
Also, referral “bomb multipliers” apply: invite a friend, and both of you get bonus FF.
Note: If oversubscription occurs, rewards in some tiers may be distributed pro-rata.
Strategies to Maximize Your FF Harvest
Because these events stack, you don’t need to pick just one — you can play both concurrently. Here’s a refined plan:
- Secure Newcomer baseline — complete initial volume to get 500+ FF.
- Hit CandyBomb tiers while grinding for Placement leaderboard.
- Automate: Use bots (grid, DCA) to generate consistent volume.
- Risk guard: Cap leverage at 5–10× until you know your thresholds.
- For veterans: Use BGB staking to boost rewards or shield FWAP on your trades.
Bonus tip: demo-trade FF perpetuals first to understand volatility and slippage.
⚠️ Risks: FOMO can lead to overtrading; volatility spikes (±10%) are real. Set tight stops. And don’t forget, the deadlines (Oct 6/7) loom large.
Why These Events Matter for Bitget & the Market
These dual events aren’t just promotional — they’re liquidity magnets. In 2025, derivatives volume across exchanges is estimated to hit $1T per month, up 40% year-on-year. By aligning FF incentives with futures traders, Bitget ensures both activity and ecosystem growth.
CandyBomb, in particular, has distributed 5M+ tokens across 50+ projects to turn casual users into repeat participants. FF fits neatly, especially given its integration into Bitget’s risk engine, oracle systems, and upcoming protocol utilities.
From a macro lens: as central banks hint at easing (e.g., potential 25 bps cut in late October), capital may flow back into alts and DeFi. Analysts are forecasting total DeFi TVL to hit $300B+ by year-end. Initiatives like these only accelerate that trajectory.
Your FF Game Plan
By October 7, 700,000 FF will be dispersed. The sharp traders will have claimed thousands of tokens. My strategy? Platinum CandyBomb + top 100 Placement push — that alone could yield 5,000+ FF if volume cooperates.
Pro tip: sign up via a referral link to grab 20% additional fee rebates. And always DYOR — review FF’s whitepaper, track tokenomics, and monitor on-chain metrics.
