Trading tournaments in New Zealand
NZ is very-low density — comparable to Ireland in Wave 4. **NZ has no dedicated NZX Sharemarket Game** — unlike ASX, NZX has not run an equivalent annual schools/university virtual-portfolio competition. NZ secondary + tertiary students participate in the ASX Sharemarket Game instead (Game rules allow NZ student entry). **CMC Markets National Trading Challenge** (hosted by University of Auckland Management Consulting Club / Case Club, $2K pool, $50K virtual, 3 weeks Trans-Tasman) is the single recurring NZ-domiciled university trading competition — the headline NZ ingestion target. **NZSA Sharegame** (NZ Shareholders' Association, members-only, $10K virtual cap, annual April start) is niche but real. NZ retail brokers (Sharesies — 700K+ users — Hatch, Tiger Brokers NZ, Stake NZ, ASB Securities, ANZ, Jarden Direct) run zero PnL leaderboard contests. NZ crypto exchanges (Easy Crypto, Independent Reserve NZ, Kraken NZ, Binance NZ) — Kraken global tournaments accessible; Easy Crypto is brokerage-style (no order book, not tournament-eligible). Prop firms (FTMO, FundedNext, The5ers, City Traders Imperium, US futures props) all accept NZ residents.

Regulation
FMA (Financial Markets Authority) regulates securities + capital markets + derivatives. RBNZ for banking. FSPR (Financial Service Providers Register) for licensing — crypto exchanges register as FSPs under FSPR + AML/CFT only; **FMA has no direct prudential oversight of crypto trading platforms**, operating in a largely AML/tax-compliance space outside FMA's traditional securities perimeter. **Cryptopia exchange defunct** (hacked Jan 2019, in liquidation since May 2019) — DO NOT LIST. BitPrime dormant since 2022.
