Bybit has officially launched World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025, its biggest trading competition yet, with a record-breaking 10 million USDT prize pool. Starting August 12, 2025, this year’s edition reshapes the game with zero equity requirements at registration, making it the most inclusive WSOT in history.
WSOT 2025 Redefines Competitive Trading
As the world’s longest-running crypto trading competition, WSOT enters a landmark year. For the first time, any eligible trader who completes KYC can join without needing upfront equity. This bold move breaks barriers and levels the playing field, opening the door for traders of every skill level to compete for massive rewards.
Bybit’s mission is clear: make trading fairer, more inclusive, and more exciting. With global partnerships across blockchain projects, non-profits, and finance, WSOT 2025 is more than a competition: it’s a showcase of how crypto connects communities worldwide.
The $10 Million USDT Prize Pool
This year’s competition brings diverse ways to win across multiple categories and formats:
- Global Squad PnL% – 3.6M USDT shared among top squads, with leaders of the top 40 squads claiming 20% of their squad’s pool.
- Global Individual Profit – 1.2M USDT split across leaderboards ranked by trading weight, from beginner ($100) to heavyweight ($10,000).
- Regional Trading Volume – 2.44M USDT shared across nine regions based on cumulative volume.
- Individual Daily PnL% – 40,000 USDT awarded daily for 19 days, totaling 760,000 USDT.
In addition, side events like the Preheat, Trader’s Camp, On-Chain Trader House, and Livestream Giveaways boost the excitement with hundreds of thousands in bonus prizes.

Why WSOT 2025 Stands Out

- Tiered competition – From $100 beginners to $10,000 heavyweights.
- Multiple prize tracks – Squad, solo, regional, and daily competitions.
- 10M USDT in total prizes – With additional side events and giveaways.
This format ensures every trader has a chance to win, no matter their background or experience level.
