Bybit This record-breaking trading competition is back, with the addition of Global Assets and AI tracks, early bird team rewards, and a schedule that will last for five weeks until December 2, 2026.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, October 29, 2026 / PRNewswire / -- This "new financial platform" trusted by over 80 million users worldwide is today launching its flagship global trading competition – World Series of Trading ( WSOT ). Registrations for 2026 are now open. Starting from 10 a.m. UTC today, qualified traders from around the world can register, create their own teams, or join existing teams, and begin competing. The total prize pool for this competition can reach up to 10 million USDT, and it will last until 10 a.m. UTC on December 2, 2026.

Under this year's theme of “The World Trades Here”, WSOT has evolved from an encryption competition to a multi-asset trading championship. In addition to team competitions and individual contests, two new categories have been added this year: Global Assets, where traders can compete in stocks, gold, crude oil, and indices; as well as AI P & L Showdown, where strategies are executed and competed through Bybit AI.

How to Participate

• Register on page WSOT of bybit.com / wsot2026 in 2026. There is no minimum asset requirement for registration.
• Create or join a team. The team leader can apply on the WSOT page, and recruitment can begin once the application is approved. Traders can join through team links, by searching for team names, or by selecting from recommended teams; they can also choose to compete individually.
• Start Preheat Quest. Complete the trading tasks for five tracks, and you will be able to unlock rewards from the first day onwards.
• Activate the leaderboard. As long as you hold at least 100 USDT in your unified trading account for a period of five minutes, you will be eligible to enter the P&L and P&L% leaderboards.

WSOT New Changes in 2026

Global Assets confrontation. Two trading volume rankings incorporate traditional markets into WSOT. The spot ranking covers crypto assets and stock spot transactions (where available locally); the TradFi perpetual contract ranking covers perpetual contracts for stocks, gold, crude oil, and indices.

AI confrontation. The new leaderboard will rank traders using either the Bybit AI sub-account or the universal AI sub-account based on their P&L (Profit and Loss). Bybit AI will also appear on the WSOT page, serving as a competition assistant to explain the rules and tasks, as well as to track team and individual rankings in real-time.

Preheat Quest. This task spans the entire event cycle and covers five tracks: New & Invite, Spot, Derivatives, TradFi, and Bybit AI. Upon completing each task, a track is unlocked and a reward is available.

Key dates for each stage

As the total trading volume of participants increases, the prize pool will be gradually unlocked. In team competitions, the first place winner will receive 20% of the team's reward, the top 10 members will share a total of 20%, and the remaining eligible members will share 60%. In individual competitions, traders are ranked according to three weight categories: lightweight, medium, and heavyweight.

How to Participate

There is no minimum asset requirement for registration. To qualify for the P&L and P&L% rankings, traders must hold at least 100 USDT in their unified trading account for a period of five minutes. Each trader can use one main account and up to six sub-accounts to compete, including AI sub-accounts. Traders can join teams as well as compete individually.

Professional users, market makers, and institutional users are not eligible. WSOT 2026 is not available to residents of the European Economic Area or users in other restricted regions.
