The International Crypto Trading Cup (ICTC) by WhiteBIT will mark a landmark event in the blockchain arena. The novel format, idea, and scale of this tournament raise the stature of crypto trading competitions above anything ever seen before.

What WhiteBIT group founder says
“We set ourselves an ambitious goal — to set a new standard in the world of trading and hold the first-ever live-stream trading championship. Our ICTC is the first international tournament where world-class traders will compete. Along with them, fully-formed squads of 25 participants and individual traders will also take part online. Everyone will have the chance to follow the traders’ decisions in real time, observe their reactions, analyze strategies, and join the conversation via a general chat — asking questions, sharing insights, and engaging in live discussions,” comments Volodymyr Nosov.

From the beginning, ICTC has been rooted in education. The championship kicked off with a qualifying stage, allowing participants to compete for a chance to become the eighth trader on the main stage.
“Anyone interested had the opportunity to test their skills, gain unique experience, and learn something new even before the main competition stage.” said WhiteBIT Group President Volodymyr Nosov.
Nosov also stressed the tournament’s commitment to professionalism, fairness, and transparency:
“We’ve ensured continuous financial monitoring to track the traders’ actions in real-time: their screens, open positions, and market activities. After trades are completed, all transactions undergo mandatory validation to ensure compliance with the tournament’s rules and conditions,” Nosov noted.
Additional details
Traders on the main stage will each be provided with an initial balance of 50,000 USDTB (WhiteBIT’s internal asset for futures trading). They shall trade in futures, winning all the profits accrued from the participants’ trades if they prove to be the best traders in the tournament.
This is Nosov’s opinion: that crypto trading tournaments can turn out to be events of global scale, with the enormity of eSports championships.
“Crypto trading has all the necessary components for a spectacular format: strategy, emotions, and strong personalities with extraordinary stories. It has huge potential. These competitions can soon reach a level where traders become public figures, followed by millions who learn from them and support them as true stars,” he added.
ICTC starts on May 9 at 13:00 UTC. You can watch the live broadcast at this link: https://whitebit.com/m/ICTC-2025
