Bitget's KCGI 2026 Live Trading Competition Sees $3 Million USDT Prize Pool

Bitget has launched its live trading competition for the 2026 King's Cup Global Invitational (KCGI), offering a $3 million USDT prize pool to participants across crypto, stocks, and gold.

The two-week tournament allows competitors to trade tokenized U.S. equities, gold, and traditional financial perpetuals from a single account, marking the first time in KCGI's history that participants are not restricted to crypto futures.

For this event, the competition is divided into three primary sectors: Crypto Futures with over 600 USDT-margined perpetual and delivery trading pairs; TradFi Perpetuals covering gold (XAU/USD), commodities, stock indices, and foreign exchange; and Tokenized U.S. Stocks (rTokens) for spot trading of major U.S. equities.

Trading volume is calculated separately for each sector, but overall profit and loss feeds into a single global leaderboard, allowing participants to pivot capital toward whichever asset class presents the strongest market movement during the competition window.
