DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is excited to announce the trading competition of the year, Bybit's flagship World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025 is kicking off on August 12, 2025 at 10AM UTC.
As the world's longest-running crypto trading competition, WSOT enters a pivotal year to rewrite and reshape crypto trading in its 2025 edition. Manifesting the vision to transform crypto into a more inclusive, engaging, and fairer space, WSOT 2025 marks a significant evolution in competitive crypto trading with zero equity requirements at the registration stage.
With the sector reinventing itself with CEX and DEX innovation, and renewed synergy with traditional finance (TradFi), WSOT 2025 expands its global arena to help traders capture on-chain opportunities and explore tokenized TradFi offerings. The latest additions, compounded by the network effect through Bybit's ecosystem partners, allows competitive traders of all specialities to truly shine.
Breaking from tradition, WSOT 2025 removes all financial prerequisites for participation at the sign-up stage while maintaining the platform's commitment to rewarding skill, strategy, and leadership. Any eligible trader who completes KYC verification can now register for WSOT, democratizing access to what has become the crypto industry's most prestigious trading competition.
WSOT 2025: Rewriting Rules for Fairer Play
WSOT 2025 is refreshed with Bybit's mission to rewrite and reshape, supported by a network of partners from the non-profit sector, the blockchain and crypto ecosystem, and financial services providers, including EthicHub, the Blockchain for Good Alliance, SoSoValue, SUI, CryptoBanter, Chart Champions, Dusty BC, Michael Devlin, among others.
The format of the games has evolved in parallel, now boasting a total of 10 million USDT in prizes. In addition to the main tournament, side competitions such as the pregame—WSOT Trader's Camp, and WSOT On-Chain Trader House—a DEX competition co-hosted by Bybit Web3 and Byreal, offer alternative access to separate prize pools and bonuses.
WSOT 2025's tiered and weighted system ensures fair competition by allowing traders to compete within their own weight class—from Beginner ($100) to Heavyweight ($10,000)—with dedicated prize pools for each division.
The Main Competition takes place from August 27, 10AM UTC to September 15, 10AM UTC and features four rewards categories with a 8 million USDT prize pool:
