The WCTC 2026 (Season 8) is a major trading competition hosted by Gate to celebrate the platform's 13th anniversary. It features a dynamic prize pool of up to 8 million USDT.
Below are the key details for the event:
Event Schedule
Official Competition Period: April 23, 2026, to May 20, 2026 (UTC).
Team Competition: Divided into two phases:
First Half: April 23 – May 6, 2026.
Second Half: May 6 – May 20, 2026.
Competition Formats & Prize Pool
The prize pool is dynamic, meaning the total amount unlocked depends on the number of valid participants. The structure includes:
Team Competition: Up to 3,600,000 USDT.
Individual Competition: Up to 2,000,000 USDT.
1v1 Champion PK: Up to 1,600,000 USDT.

Key Features
Gate.io usually provides a live dashboard showing your cumulative trading volume, so you don’t have to calculate manually.
If you buy 100 USDT worth of BTC and later sell 120 USDT worth, your trading volume is 220 USDT (not just the net gain).
Open to both new and existing users.
In a significant upgrade, the competition includes TradFi (traditional financial) trading pairs alongside standard crypto spot, ETF, flash swap, and perpetual futures pairs.
Includes mystery boxes, cash boxes, and various bonus incentives to encourage active participation.
