WhiteBIT CEO Volodymyr Nosov Bets Big on Spectacle—Live-Streamed Crypto Trading Championship Kicks Off

Forget dull order books—WhiteBIT’s throwing a high-stakes trading circus, and everyone’s invited to watch the carnage.

Subheader: Gladiators of the 24/7 Market

The exchange’s live-streamed championship turns crypto volatility into prime-time entertainment—because what better way to attract liquidity than turning traders into influencers? Bonus points for the inevitable ’technical difficulties’ when BTC crashes mid-broadcast.

Closing jab: Because nothing says ’mature asset class’ like gamifying leveraged gambling while traditional finance still pretends blockchain doesn’t exist.

Volodymyr Nosov: Anyone can test their skills on WhiteBIT

The focus of ICTC is on crypto trading education. The pre-tournament qualification selected from a wide circle of traders, who competed for a chance to become the eighth trader on the main live event. 

“Anyone interested had the opportunity to test their skills, gain unique experience, and learn something new even before the main competition stage,” added Nosov.

In the second stage, the competition will focus on professionalism and fairness. All participants will be monitored for financial soundness. The traders’ actions will be open for tracking in real time, including screen-sharing. Anyone will be able to preview their open positions and trades. 

After the trades are completed, all transactions will be previewed and validated to ensure they fit the tournament’s rules and conditions, added Nosov.

Each trader will start with a balance of 50,000 USDTB, WhiteBIT’s internal asset for futures trading. The competition will track performance on futures markets, with the best trader winning the profits from all trades. 

Nosov believes crypto trading tournaments can turn into high-profile global events, rivaling the size of eSports championships. Nosov believes crypto trading has all the components for a content-producing sensation. 

Traders can show their strategic skills, emotions, and personality, producing unique stories based on live market developments. Nosov expects top traders to be followed by millions, and also used as an educational resource for others to venture into crypto trading. ICTC starts from May 9, at 13:00 UTC, and will be broadcast live.

Following the tournament announcement, WhiteBIT’s native WBT token traded at $30.27. The exchange still carried relatively high volumes of $2.13B in the past 24 hours.
