• The championship will start on January 23 and will last until February 11, 2026.
• The key format will be a team competition with a prize pool of 940,000 USDT.

The universal exchange Bitget has announced the launch of a global stock futures championship with a prize pool of 1,551,000 USDT. The tournament will start on January 23 and last until February 11, 2026. 

According to the company, it is set to be Bitget’s largest competitive event to date. As the developers emphasized, the initiative was created to bring together “elite traders,” rising talents, and global communities in one highly competitive space.

The central element of the championship is Team Battle, where cooperation is combined with competition for 940,000 USDT in prizes.

The main pool of 700,000 USDT will be distributed among the top 30 teams, ranked by profit and loss. An additional 200,000 USDT in Early Bird Perks is reserved for the first 10,000 participants who join teams and make qualifying trades between January 26 and 28.

The role of leaders will be recognized with team captain awards worth 40,000 USDT. These will be given to those who were able to unite and lead their teams to victory, company representatives said.

For traders who prefer to play individually, there is a separate PnL challenge. As part of this challenge, USDT 300,000 will be distributed among the top 100 traders from around the world. The developers believe that this allows them to create an “open stage for demonstrating accuracy, timing, and confidence under pressure.”

According to the platform team, the Star Trader Challenge adds an element of influence, with global crypto influencers competing for 101,000 USDT. 

The top three leaders will share a prize pool of 100,000 USDT. An additional 1,000 USDT will be allocated to public voting, allowing users to predict and support the future champion, turning viewers into active participants.

The championship ecosystem is complemented by the Challenge Center, which will distribute 100,000 USDT through daily and long-term missions, Bitget also announced. By completing tasks, traders will be able to open Mystery Boxes containing tokenized stocks, vouchers, merchandise, and premium rewards, making every trade part of the big game.

In addition, Bitget has prepared a “welcome airdrop” of 110,000 USDT for newcomers.

All participants will be able to receive a welcome bonus totaling 50,000 USDT upon registration. In addition, new users who have completed registration and achieved a trading volume of at least 100 USDT in stock futures will be eligible for an additional airdrop of 60,000 USDT with guaranteed rewards in the form of tokenized stocks.

The launch of the championship coincides with the peak of the reporting season, turning market volatility into a testing ground for skill, exchange representatives noted.

In their opinion, this is not just a competition, but a new stage in how traders interact with global stock markets through infrastructure focused on the crypto industry. With this debut, Bitget brings stock markets into the rhythm of real-time trading without borders, the developers said.
