Bitget's Universal Cup Kicks Off with 250K USDT Prize Pool
Crypto exchange Bitget has launched the Universal Cup, a football-themed contest offering a 250,000 USDT prize pool. The tournament runs from June 11 to July 19, 2026, and players can participate by picking from 48 countries and taking penalty shots at moving targets that represent various assets, including crypto, stocks, and CFDs.
Individual scores feed national rankings on a live global leaderboard. The contest is built around the slogan 'Don't Just Watch. Rule the Game,' and it turns spectators into competitors who represent nations, climb the rankings, and switch countries to keep playing after elimination.
The 250,000 USDT pool pays out through daily rewards, leaderboard rankings, lucky draws, and championship prizes. Extra prizes are also awarded to the winning nation's members. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said, 'Crypto changes the dynamic of sports fandom by making participation part of the experience.'
