TradeUP is running a limited-time offer that lets new users earn up to 100 free shares of CRCL when they open and fund an account using the promo code wealth.
To qualify, open a new TradeUP account and make settled deposits or ACATS transfers during the campaign period.
Deposits are aggregated — meaning multiple transfers count toward your total qualifying amount. Pending, reversed, or internal transfers don’t count.
| Deposit Amount | Free CRCL Shares |
| $2,000 | 1 |
| $10,000 | 3 |
| $50,000 | 10 |
| $200,000 | 30 |
| $500,000 | 60 |
| $1,000,000 | 100 |
Must Know:
- Bonus timing: Shares typically post about 15 days after qualifying deposits fully settle.
- Holding rule: Proceeds from sold reward shares can’t be withdrawn for three months unless you’ve completed at least ten valid trades.
- Expiration: All qualifying deposits and transfers must settle by December 31, 2025.
- Eligibility: Available in countries TradeUP operates (currently 35+ different countries)
My Take
At the current market price of roughly $117 per CRCL share, even a smaller deposit offers a solid return. For example, depositing $2,000 to earn one share represents about a 5 to 6 percent effective bonus, while a $10,000 deposit for three shares is still competitive with most free stock promotions.
On the higher end, a $1 million deposit would earn 100 shares, worth more than $10,000 if CRCL stays above $100. That’s a strong short-term incentive, though not quite as large as some 2 percent transfer bonuses available elsewhere. However, most of those 2 percent offers come with multi-year hold periods that can last up to five years, while TradeUP’s reward posts in about two weeks.
Overall, this promotion offers meaningful near-term upside for active investors who are already moving funds, with the added potential for growth if CRCL’s stock price rises.
