Gate.io Launches $5 Million Crypto Trading Competition With Ford Mustang GT Grand Prize

Gate.io, a prominent digital asset trading platform, has launched the World Crypto Trading Competition Season 7 (WCTC S7), an eagerly awaited event in the crypto world. The competition, which began on April 15, 2025, offers a dynamic prize pool of up to $5 million, along with a Ford Mustang GT as the grand prize for the team with the highest total trading volume. This event underscores Gate.io’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the crypto trading space.

Gate.io has established itself as a global leader in digital asset trading, with over 22 million registered users. The platform’s spot and futures trading businesses are ranked among the top globally, reflecting its continued advancements in product experience, asset security, innovation, and global expansion. These factors have earned Gate.io the trust of traders worldwide.

In addition to its trading prowess, Gate.io has made significant strides in brand building. Over the past two years, the platform has sponsored multiple international sports brands and, in 2025, became an official sponsor of Oracle Red Bull Racing in F1. This partnership aligns with Gate.io’s core trading philosophy of speed, precision, and stability, which are also key attributes of F1 racing. The F1-themed design of WCTC S7 symbolizes the platform’s pursuit of excellence and its commitment to pushing the boundaries of crypto trading.

WCTC S7 features both team and individual competitions, with a dynamic prize pool of up to $5 million. The team competition accounts for 80% of the total prize pool, with up to $4 million to be shared. It introduces a “two-stage” system, allowing teams to recalibrate strategies and compete for Top 20 rankings in each stage independently. The team with the highest total trading volume will win the grand prize—a Ford Mustang GT.

The individual competition accounts for 20% of the prize pool, offering up to $1 million in rewards. The top 300 participants will share $1 million in cash, with higher ranks earning greater rewards. Participants ranked 301–700 will receive exclusive merchandise bundles, while those ranked 701–1000 will share $20,000 worth of Futures Vouchers. This tiered reward system ensures that a wide range of participants can benefit from the competition.

During the competition, participants can join airdrop events with a guaranteed 100% winning rate. Prizes include trading fee rebate vouchers, Futures Vouchers, and chances to win physical rewards through “Hourly Airdrops” and “Super Airdrops.” These events feature fragments of iPhone 16 Pro Max, popular tokens, and fragments of limited-edition merchandise like jackets and co-branded insulated bottles. Participants can also collect WCTC S7-exclusive fragments to share a $10,000 Futures Voucher Pool, adding an extra layer of excitement and engagement.

The competition is designed to be inclusive, allowing participants to choose between team and individual contests based on their preferences. The “every participant wins” design of the airdrop event ensures that even newcomers can easily join and win prizes, while the collectible fragment gameplay offers seasoned traders a deeper and more engaging experience. This balance of inclusivity and exclusivity makes WCTC S7 an accessible and exciting event for all crypto enthusiasts.
