DUBAI, UAE, Feb. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is calling traders across the TradFi and crypto divide to come together for the Master Trading Challenge: TradFi VS Crypto. With Bybit Copy Trading as the main arena, the global trading tournament will offer 300,000 USDT in prizes as trader interest in automated trading strategies continues to grow amid heightened market volatility.
The multi-round challenge is set to keep competitive traders on their toes throughout February and March 2026. Designed to finally settle the friendly rivalry between traditional finance tactics and classic crypto trading strategies, Bybit's Copy Trading platform will serve as the ultimate battleground where Master Traders and their followers can put their skills and strategies to the test.
Rising to the Challenge: TradFi VS Crypto
The challenge runs across two two-week rounds, with Round 1 from February 9 to 24 and Round 2 from February 27 until March 14, 2026. Each round runs independently with its own 150,000 USDT prize pool and leaderboard rankings.
Master Traders may compete in one of two categories: classic cryptoperpetual contracts or TradFi-style products, mirroring the growing convergence between traditional finance and digital asset trading strategies. Rankings are determined by both team trading volume and profit-and-loss performance.
Eligible participants must meet the minimum team trading volume to qualify for the leaderboard:
- Classic traders: 75,000 USDT
- TradFi participants: 1,500,000 USDx
Master Traders must also maintain at least 20 unique active Followers, ensuring that rewards go to traders with demonstrated track records of attracting genuine follower interest.
Prizes Galore: Rewarding Performance and Clout
The top 50 Master Traders in each round are eligible for prizes, with first-place teams receiving 39,000 USDT and cascading rewards for teams placing 31st through 50th. Master Traders receive 50% of their team's total reward, with the remaining half distributed among Followers based on proportional trading volume.
The tournament also features a "Like" rewards system where users can vote for preferred traders during the first week of each round. If a liked trader finishes in the top three, the first 1,000 supporters share 2,000 USDT, creating a social trading dynamic that mirrors emerging trends in retail investment platforms.
The tournament comes as copy trading, a strategy that allows users to automatically replicate the trades of experienced traders, has gained traction among retail investors seeking to navigate increasingly complex market conditions. With Bybit Copy Trading, less experienced traders can follow established Master Traders, democratizing access to sophisticated trading strategies that were previously available primarily to institutional investors.

TradFi vs. Crypto: Bybit Launches 300,000 USDT Trading Challenge as Copy Trading Gains Momentum in Volatility
- Targeting RE markets in Latin America and Asia-Pacific with product proven in Europe and OE sales
SEOUL, South Korea, March 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NEXEN TYRE, a leading global tyre manufacturer, announced the launch of its high-performance summer tyre the N'BLUE S in Australia, as it accelerates its expansion in the global replacement (RE) market. Following its success in the European market, the company is now introducing this proven product to Australia to diversify its premium portfolio and support long-term growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
NEXEN TYRE's launch of the N'BLUE S in Australia is part of the company's premium global expansion strategy. Optimised for Australia's diverse driving conditions, the N'BLUE S delivers exceptional stability on wet roads and superior efficiency in everyday driving. This launch marks a significant step forward in the company's plan to diversify its regional portfolio and meet the structural demand for high-quality summer tyres in the Asia-Pacific region.
The N'BLUE S is a high-performance summer tyre designed with an optimised contact patch structure that reduces rolling resistance for better efficiency and improved handling. It is made from a multifunctional compound with evenly dispersed materials to enhance wet grip, ensuring stable driving on wet roads.
The newly launched N'BLUE S also carries NEXEN TYRE's proprietary EV ROOT mark. This designation is granted to products engineered to deliver optimal performance across internal combustion engine, hybrid, and electric vehicles. As electrification accelerates globally, the company expects to broaden its sales base by offering a single product suitable for vehicles across diverse powertrains.
The N'BLUE S's performance has already been proven in both the European replacement market and original equipment (OE) sales. It has been supplied as OE for European models as well as electric vehicles such as the Hyundai Casper EV, Kia Niro and PV5. NEXEN TYRE aims to build on the product's proven competitiveness with global automakers by expanding consumer touchpoints through broader penetration into the replacement market.
NEXEN TYRE is strengthening its presence in Australia by enhancing both its logistics infrastructure and its retail competitiveness. With the opening of a new warehouse in Rocklea, Queensland in 2025, the company now operates three dedicated logistics hubs across New South Wales, Victoria, and Queensland. This has enabled significantly shorter lead times and superior inventory responsiveness for NEXEN TYRE's partners nationwide. As part of its continued investment in the Australian market, the company is also planning to establish a new warehouse in Western Australia later this year further enhancing its nationwide distribution efficiency.
Starting in 2026, NEXEN TYRE AUSTRALIA plans to roll out its global retail branding program, the Nexen Point Dealer Program, nationwide. This will unify external signage, in-store interiors and merchandising guidelines to ensure a consistent brand experience. By integrating its three logistics hubs with a unified distribution and branding strategy, NEXEN TYRE aims to accelerate its growth in the local RE tyre market.
"The launch of the N'BLUE S in Australia reflects our commitment to delivering high-performance summer tyres across the Asia-Pacific region," said John Bosco (Hyeon Suk) Kim, CEO of NEXEN TYRE. "With our strengthened local logistics and retail network, we will continue to expand our presence and enhance our competitive edge in the Australian replacement market."
