WCTC S8 Global Trading Competition Officially Opens Registration
13th Anniversary Main Event $8 Million Super Prize Pool, Ready for Your Challenge
The eighth season of the World Crypto Trading Competition (WCTC S8) is now officially open for registration, marking the flagship event of Gate's 13th anniversary celebration. With a total prize pool of $8 million, this year's competition introduces multiple competitive tracks designed to accommodate traders of all experience levels and trading styles.
Competition Structure
This season features three distinct competition formats running simultaneously:
Team Battle: Traders can form or join teams to compete collectively, with special incentives for early team formation. The first 30 teams to reach at least 50 members will qualify their team captains for an additional $3,000 priority formation bonus.
Individual Competition: Solo traders can compete directly against the global participant base, with rankings determined by individual trading performance and returns.
1v1 King PK: A head-to-head elimination format where traders face off in direct competition for the ultimate crown.
Registration Benefits
All participants who register during the pre-registration period will receive a 20 USDT experience voucher as a welcome bonus. Additionally, registered competitors gain access to daily free chests with a guaranteed 100% win rate, providing daily opportunities to accumulate rewards throughout the competition period.
