Zoomex Launches $150,000 BTC Airdrop Campaign for New Users

Zoomex said it launched a $150,000 Valentine’s Month Love Airdrop Event in February 2026, but the official reward list reviewed for this report names ETH and XAUT rather than Bitcoin, leaving the “first Bitcoin” framing unconfirmed.

What Zoomex Confirmed About the Event

In a February 11, 2026 announcement, Zoomex said the campaign carried a $150,000 prize pool and ran from February 6 to February 28, 2026. Those are the clearest verified details available because the direct event page returned an access-denied response during research, forcing verification back to the company-distributed PRNewswire release.

The release also said users who completed daily check-ins from February 9 to February 15 received two lottery entries per day. Its reward matrix named ETH and XAUT airdrops, 100% investment vouchers, and $20 trading discount vouchers, which is where the strongest evidence now sits.

That reward list is the central verification issue. A headline framed around Bitcoin creates one expectation, while a verified matrix centered on ETH, XAUT, and vouchers points to a different campaign structure, the same kind of distinction readers should watch when high-visibility token narratives outrun the underlying offer.

The verified reward list is not a cosmetic detail. A user who thinks they are entering for Bitcoin is responding to a different asset mix, a different risk profile, and a different onboarding message than one built around ETH, XAUT, or platform vouchers.

Zoomex also said it was founded in 2021, serves more than 3 million users across 35+ regions, and lists 600+ trading pairs. Those company-stated scale claims help explain why a seasonal promotion could be aimed at broad user acquisition, although the release’s regulatory-registration claims were not independently verified in this phase.

Those scale claims do not prove the Bitcoin angle, but they do explain why a simpler mass-market hook would be useful. An exchange operating across dozens of regions has a clear incentive to package a seasonal event in the most recognizable crypto language available.

Why the First-Bitcoin Angle Got Attention

According to unconfirmed reports, the promotion was presented as a BTC airdrop that could help users earn their first Bitcoin. The brief does not support publishing that as established fact, but it does support describing it as the framing that turned a routine exchange promotion into a Bitcoin story.

That framing makes sense in market terms because Bitcoin was trading near $71,674 at fetch time, with a 24-hour change of 0.69%, a market cap of about $1.43 trillion, and 24-hour volume near $39.9 billion. For exchanges, that scale makes Bitcoin the easiest asset to use in onboarding language even when the verified reward mix points somewhere else.

Broader sentiment was also weak. The Fear and Greed Index read 16, or Extreme Fear, at fetch time, which fits the release’s market-volatility framing and helps explain why exchanges keep using promotional campaigns to stay visible during cautious trading conditions, much like speculative retail campaigns continue competing for attention in a risk-off tape.

The “first Bitcoin” wording also matters because it signals a beginner audience rather than a professional trading one. That interpretation comes from the supplied headline language and Bitcoin’s market scale, not from any internal Zoomex strategy document, so the article can only treat it as positioning, not proven intent.

What Users Should Verify Before Joining Similar Promotions

Readers evaluating any exchange-led airdrop should verify the official terms, timing, and asset list on the operator’s own event page before sharing funds or personal information. That caution is especially relevant here because the research could confirm the event through PRNewswire but could not independently review the live landing page that would normally settle the BTC-versus-non-BTC question.

They should also check whether KYC, geography, deposit thresholds, or task completion rules apply. Promotions with a headline-sized pool do not promise equal payouts to all participants, and this one already showed a tiered reward structure rather than a single-asset drop, a detail that is easy to miss when fast-moving token coverage compresses several incentives into one narrative.

The timing matters as well. The event window in the release ended on February 28, 2026, so the live question for readers now is not how to enter, but whether the widely shared Bitcoin framing ever matched the campaign’s documented rewards.

The narrow takeaway is that Zoomex did confirm a Valentine-themed airdrop event and a month-long schedule, but the material reviewed for this run did not confirm a Bitcoin payout. For a Bitcoin news site, that verification gap is the most important fact in the story.
