Bitget launches 3M USDT multi-asset KCGI trading competition

Bitget has launched the 2026 King’s Cup Global Invitational (KCGI), a trading competition featuring a total prize pool of 3 million USDT. This edition marks a strategic expansion for the platform, moving beyond cryptocurrency to include traditional finance (TradFi) perpetual contracts and tokenized U.S. stocks.

Traders can compete across more than 600 cryptocurrency futures pairs, as well as markets covering stocks, commodities, and precious metals. All trading activities will be integrated into a single profit and loss (PnL) leaderboard, emphasizing cross-asset allocation strategies.

The core of the event, the UEX Arena, will distribute 2 million USDT across five distinct leaderboards, including team PnL, crypto futures volume, TradFi perpetuals volume, rToken volume, and individual PnL. The largest single allocation is 1 million USDT for top-performing teams.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated that the integration reflects the increasing convergence of crypto, gold, and stock markets. The competition is scheduled to run from September 9 to September 22, with results announced in late September.
