Bybit has launched the preheat phase of its World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2026 competition, with the exchange announcing via its official X account that participants can now complete preheat quests and challenges ahead of the main event. WSOT is Bybit's flagship annual trading tournament, historically drawing tens of thousands of participants competing for prize pools that have reached millions of dollars in prior editions. The campaign is designed to drive user engagement and trading volume on the platform, particularly across derivatives, where Bybit ranks among the top global exchanges by volume. While the announcement did not specify the 2026 prize pool, participant rewards, or exact competition dates, traders and affiliates typically use the preheat period to register teams and build standings before leaderboard competition begins. Market watchers should monitor Bybit's follow-up announcements for prize pool details, eligibility rules, and volume incentives, which could influence near-term activity on the exchange.
