REPLY: Reply Crypto Investment Challenge Kicks Off, Organised by Reply and Young Platform, to Promote Conscious Investment in Digital Assets
The fourth edition of the Reply Investment Challenge kicks off, focusing for the first time on Digital Assets, Crypto, and Blockchain. Aimed at students and young professionals, the international online competition in 2022 counted 13,750 entries from 95 countries around the world and a total volume of 36,000 trades executed.
The objective of the Challenge, which will take place from Monday 8 May to Friday 19 May 2023, will be to bring participants closer to the world of digital assets and Blockchain, promoting an informed use of these financial instruments and paying particular attention to the issue of portfolio diversification. Players will also be able to choose between two different interfaces: a more simple and more intuitive one and a more complete and detailed one, respectively Young Platform and Young Platform Pro.
Participants will be able to practice until 5 May in a protected environment, expanding their skills on digital financial instruments, and in particular on cryptocurrencies, as well as on the Blockchain as an enabling technology. The virtual capital of EUR 1 million that each player will have at their disposal will be made available at the time of registration, and all transactions will be conducted at current market values. In the month leading up to the competition, moreover, on the Challenge platform, all participants will be able to access exclusive e-learning content, created by Reply, Young Platform and POLIMI Graduate School of Management.
At the start of the competition, on 8 May, the participants' wallets will be re-credited with the virtual sum of € 1,000,000 to be invested in real-time and the challenge can begin. Challengers will be ranked and evaluated based on their investment choices and the strategy implemented in response to the suggestions published by Reply. Only the top three, i.e. those who, more than the others, have succeeded in maximising their portfolio's return through diversification, will win the competition.
