Bybit's World Series of Trading 2026: Open Registration

Bybit has officially launched registration for its much-anticipated World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2026, with an incredible prize pool reaching up to 10 million USDT. The event, which has gained immense popularity among traders, allows participants to engage in a multi-asset competition featuring cryptocurrency, stocks, and even AI trading strategies. The registration opened at 10 AM UTC and will run until December 2, 2026, providing traders ample time to sign up and form squads.

The WSOT 2026 follows last year's successful edition that attracted over 520,000 traders globally, even earning a GUINNESS WORLD RECORD™ for most simultaneous participants in a trading event. This year’s theme, The World Trades Here, reflects Bybit’s evolution into a holistic trading platform that accommodates various asset classes. Alongside traditional crypto trading, participants can now engage in Global Assets Showdowns involving stocks, gold, oil, and indices, alongside an AI Showdown that leverages Bybit's proprietary technology to enhance trading strategies.

How to Join the WSOT 2026

Becoming a participant in the WSOT 2026 is straightforward:

1. Registration: Interested traders must register on the WSOT 2026 page at bybit.com/wsot2026. Notably, there is no minimum equity requirement to register.

2. Squad Participation: Traders can create or join squads, encouraging teamwork and collaboration. Squad leaders can apply and begin recruiting once approved, while members can find teams by searching squad names or through links.

3. Preheat Quest: Participants are urged to kick off their competition journey with the Preheat Quest, where they can complete tasks across five specific arenas to earn rewards from day one.

4. Leaderboard Participation: To get ranked on the Profit and Loss (PL) leaderboards, traders need to maintain at least 100 USDT in their Unified Trading Account for a minimum of five minutes.

New Features in WSOT 2026

This year brings several exciting features to the WSOT, reflecting Bybit's commitment to evolving with the trading landscape:

• - Global Assets Showdown: New leaderboards have been created that integrate traditional financial markets into the existing crypto competition framework. Traders can now compete in both spot and perpetual trading across crypto and stocks, enhancing their trading experience.
• - AI Integration: Bybit has developed an AI showdown leaderboard that ranks traders using Bybit AI subaccounts based on their profit and loss records. This feature positions the AI as a competition assistant, helping participants remain informed about the event’s progress.
• - Incentives for Squad Members: A shift in the rewards structure allows all squad members to earn benefits for inviting new traders, fostering a growth-oriented community. For instance, the first 100 qualified squads have leaders who earn rewards of 100 USDT each.
