Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency derivatives platform, has announced the third edition of its flagship trading competition, the Zoomex World Trading Championship (ZWTC) 2026. The event, which runs across multiple participation tracks, offers a total prize pool of up to 5,000,000 USDT—the largest in the competition's history.
The 2026 edition introduces a broader multi-asset format, moving beyond a single ranking metric. Participants can engage in three distinct areas: the Team Competition, the Solo Battle, and the Rewards Zone. These cover crypto perpetual contracts, stock contracts, AI-powered trading challenges, team leaderboards, and interactive reward activities.
According to Zoomex, the expanded structure aligns with its product strategy of keeping derivatives at the core while extending access to a wider range of markets and trading tools. The company aims to cater to different trader profiles, from those focused on crypto perps to those exploring stock-linked products or automated strategies.
Team Competition: leadership and community
The Team Competition offers a prize pool of up to 2,500,000 USDT and features three separate leaderboards. Captains are responsible for forming teams and mobilizing their communities, with eligible captains receiving a 20% share of their team's rewards. Team members can earn based on rankings, individual performance, and applicable rules.
The format combines ROI, trading volume, and community popularity, providing multiple paths for teams to demonstrate performance and influence.
Solo Battle: AI, stocks, and perps
The Solo Battle carries a prize pool of up to 1,000,000 USDT across three independent competitions: AI Trading Battle, Stock Contract Profit Leaderboard, and Perpetual Contract Trading Volume Leaderboard. The top 100 eligible participants on each leaderboard can receive rewards.
These categories reflect different approaches to derivatives trading, allowing participants to choose the market, tool, or format that suits them best. The inclusion of AI trading and stock contracts highlights the platform's expansion beyond traditional crypto derivatives.
Rewards Zone: lower-barrier participation
The Rewards Zone, with up to 1,500,000 USDT in prizes, offers a more accessible entry point. Users can earn participation opportunities through daily check-ins, missions, and friend referrals. Collecting and combining designated cards can unlock upgraded rewards, with individual users potentially receiving up to 10,000 USDT, subject to official rules.
This zone is designed for users who may not wish to compete directly on trading leaderboards, broadening the event's appeal.
Multi-asset evolution
ZWTC has become a core annual initiative for Zoomex, connecting trading competition with product use and global community engagement. For 2026, the championship has been expanded to reflect how traders engage with a broader range of markets and tools. Crypto perpetual contracts remain central, while stock contracts and AI-powered trading introduce new ways to test strategies.
This direction supports Zoomex's broader strategy of being derivatives-first while expanding the surrounding ecosystem. The goal is not to move away from derivatives but to offer more underlying markets, decision-making tools, and participation formats within a derivatives-led experience.
Interested participants can register or log in to a Zoomex account, visit the official ZWTC 2026 campaign page, and select their preferred competition area. Eligible users may participate in more than one area, subject to the terms and conditions of each category.
Zoomex, founded in 2021, serves over 3 million users across 35+ countries and offers 700+ trading pairs. The platform emphasizes transparent rules, fair execution, and a high-performance trading environment.
