Vilnius, Lithuania, March 25th, 2025, Chainwire

For the first time, the ICTC will be a live-streamed global crypto trading championship, with the top 8 traders facing off in real time for the top rankings.

WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic and the official cryptocurrency partner of FC Barcelona, is proud to announce the first-ever International Crypto Trading Cup (ICTC)—the first live-streamed trading championship that brings crypto trading to the stage. The event will take place on May 9-10, 2025, providing an exclusive opportunity for traders to showcase their skills in a real-time format and serving as a unique learning experience to gain insights from top performers.

“With ICTC, we are setting a new standard for competitive trading,” said Volodymyr Nosov, Founder and President of WhiteBIT Group. “It is not just another competition—it’s a trading championship that blends skill, entertainment, and learning into an action-packed showdown. It’s a chance for traders worldwide to test their limits, engage with the global trading community, and compete in an immersive environment. And viewers will have a unique opportunity to observe their strategies and decision-making in real time."

A Trading Show Like Never Before

The ICTC tournament will feature 8 world-class traders battling it out on stage in a demonstrative competition. Each participant will start with a balance of 50,000 USDTB — an internal asset for securing positions within futures trading on WhiteBIT. Traders will compete in live futures trading to achieve the highest Return on Investment (ROI), with the ultimate winner claiming the accumulated profits of all competitors. More than just a showcase of elite trading skills, this event is designed to educate, offering valuable insights and real-time strategy analysis for the audience.

The ICTC goes beyond the stage, inviting everyone to compete alongside traders on stage—whether individually or as part of squads led by experienced leaders. Traders worldwide will participate in real-time, while spectators can follow expert strategies, join live discussions, and gain valuable insights into high-level trading.
