WhiteBIT Launches First Live Global Crypto Trading Championship

WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic and the official cryptocurrency partner of FC Barcelona, has announced the first-ever International Crypto Trading Cup (ICTC). This groundbreaking event, scheduled for May 9-10, 2025, will be the first live-streamed global crypto trading championship, offering traders a unique platform to showcase their skills in real-time and providing viewers with an immersive learning experience.

The ICTC will feature eight world-class traders competing on stage in a live futures trading competition. Each participant will start with a balance of 50,000 USDTB, an internal asset for securing positions within futures trading on WhiteBIT. The goal is to achieve the highest Return on Investment (ROI), with the winner claiming the accumulated profits of all competitors. This event is not just a display of elite trading skills but also an educational opportunity, offering valuable insights and real-time strategy analysis for the audience.

In addition to the main event, WhiteBIT is hosting a pre-tournament from March 27 to April 7, 2025. This global trading tournament will determine one standout trader to join the seven world top traders on stage. The winner will participate in the live competition broadcast of ICTC and the awards ceremony in Andorra. They will receive full coverage of travel expenses and accommodation and a VIP experience of attending El Clásico on May 11 in Barcelona—the legendary football match between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. In the event of any changes to the match schedule or arrangements by the organizers, the winner will be offered an alternative bonus.

Participants can qualify for the pre-tournament by registering on WhiteBIT and completing a minimum of 10 trades with the highest performance metrics. Those who deposit 50 USDT before March 26 will receive an additional 50 USDTB to their subaccount. This pre-tournament presents an unprecedented opportunity for aspiring traders to step into the spotlight, showcase their skills on the biggest stage in crypto trading history, and share insights within the global trading community.

The ICTC is set to be the first live-streamed global trading championship, designed to captivate millions worldwide. Viewers can track live trades, analyze strategies, interact with the community, and experience the intensity of real-time trading. It’s an event where education meets entertainment—every trade is a lesson, and every decision could be game-changing.
