Bybit EU launches trading competition with 100,000 USDC prize pool

Bybit EU has launched its inaugural API trading competition, featuring a prize pool that can reach up to 100,000 USDC. The total jackpot is determined by the collective trading volume of all participants: the pool starts at 10,000 USDC once a cumulative volume of $25 million is reached, scaling up to the full 100,000 USDC if the total volume exceeds $250 million.

To qualify, participants must create a Bybit EU account, register for the competition, generate an API key, and engage in Spot trading (including Spot Margin with up to 10x leverage) via the API. The competition runs from September 3 to October 1, 2026. The top 80 traders in the rankings will receive rewards, with the first-place winner eligible for up to 18,000 USDC.
