WSOT What new changes are there in 2026?
WSOT 2026 reflects Bybit's transformation into a global multi-asset platform. Cryptocurrencies, stocks, and commodities can now be traded within the same account, in the same competition, and artificial intelligence is integrated throughout the entire experience, from registration to the final rankings.
Global Assets Showdown: Two rankings based on trading volume include traditional markets in WSOT. The Spot ranking covers spot transactions of cryptocurrencies and stocks (where applicable); the TradFi Perps ranking covers perpetual contracts for stocks, gold, crude oil, and indices.
AI Showdown: The new rankings will take into account the profit and loss situation to count traders who use the Bybit AI sub-account or the general AI sub-account. Bybit AI will also appear on the WSOT page as a competition assistant, explaining the rules and tasks, and tracking the team and individual rankings in real time.
Preheat Quest: The event spans the entire competition period and covers five tracks: New, Invite, Spot, Derivatives, TradFi, and Bybit AI. Upon completing each task, a track will be unlocked and a reward will be available.
The team mechanism has also been upgraded. Now, not only the team leader, but also team members who invite traders to join their teams can receive rewards. The leaders of the top 100 qualified teams each receive 100 USDT; the leaders of the top 20 teams in the TradFi race each receive 500 USDT; and the leaders of the top 200 qualified teams each receive 50 USDT.
Key dates for the phase
The prize pool will be gradually unlocked as the total trading volume of participants increases. In Squad Showdown, the team leader receives 20% of the rewards for each team, the top 10 members receive a combined 20%, and the remaining eligible members receive a combined 60%. The individual trader leaderboard is divided into three categories: lightweight, medium, and heavyweight.
How to participate?
