WhiteBIT, the largest European cryptocurrency exchange by traffic, has launched an eight-week global futures trading tournament called the WhiteBIT Influence Trade Battle. The squad-based competition carries a prize pool of up to 50,000 USDT and features over 400 prize places. The tournament is run in partnership with TradingView and supported by Tether.
How the tournament works
The Influence Trade Battle is a team competition — participants form squads and compete over eight weeks by trading futures on WhiteBIT. The top squads split the prize pool, with individual traders and squad leaders also eligible for rewards. More than 400 prize places means even mid-tier teams can walk away with something.
Why TradingView and Tether are involved
TradingView is providing its charting and analysis tools directly in the tournament interface, letting participants track performance in real time. Tether's backing gives the prize pool a stable payout in USDT — no volatility surprises for winners. It's a smart play for both partners: TradingView gets broad exposure to futures traders, and Tether reinforces its role in exchange competitions.
WhiteBIT's bet on futures
WhiteBIT claims the title of Europe's largest exchange by web traffic, but it's not the only exchange pushing futures contests. Still, the eight-week length and squad format are a clear effort to build community loyalty and trading volume. The exchange isn't saying whether this is a one-off or the start of a recurring series — but given the prize size, they're betting big on engagement.
The tournament is now open for registration. WhiteBIT hasn't announced a specific start date for trading, but the eight-week clock likely begins within days.
