The worldwide event organized by Whitebit on Might 9 and 10 has the excellence of getting been the primary of its class, in line with Alternate executives. However what’s much more essential: if life is truthful (which is usually not), its incidence got here from the hand of a possible impact, and hopefully sturdy, within the social dynamics of cryptocurrency buying and selling; That’s, the demonstration that aggressive cryptocurrency commerce could be enticing and thrilling similar to digital sports activities, and mixing training with leisure in knowledgeable and dynamic surroundings.
I clarify myself. If the ICTC 2025 occasion, which had a neighborhood headquarters however prolonged earlier than the eyes of the world by way of videotreatment, penetrates the social imaginary and doesn’t fader rapidly, Then the social requirements of buying and selling could have begun to vary (for higher).
Customers will start to demand extra transparency and credibility to merchants earlier than shopping for their subscriptions, buying their methods, belonging to their teams, and can encourage those that reveal extra proveing dwell. The necessities for copying will enhance, and ideally, merchants will construct good repute with dwell profitable operations.
We name totally different opinion leaders (QLS) and merchants with invites to this occasion. Perhaps 80-85% don’t even reply us. However those that start to speak with us say: guys, is all the things clear? Are you able to cover my crimson P&L and present solely the greens? I say: guys, I repeat, we will probably be on stage, in dwell streaming, with all these boards, we can not cover the crimson panels. It’s a fully clear strategy (…).
Alex Kozenko, CMO de WhiteBIT.
Demonstrates context. On Might 9 and 10, 2025, the Worldwide Alternate with roots in Ukraine organized a present that needed to be created by anybody with the power to take action, however that by no means occurred, as a result of apparently no one dared. It’s not a thriller that the ICTC will arrive properly, though late, to the cryptocurrency buying and selling ecosystem, Nicely, it’s an initiative that challenges your self and be higher.
The ICTC 2025 was an academic objective occasion and broadcast dwell amongst eight merchants to erect a single winner. Every obtained steadiness to buying and selling 50,000 USDTB (an inside asset for futures commerce in Whitebit) in whole. The 8 competed 12 hours distributed in two days for an award whose restrict might ascend as much as 5 million USDT.
The spectacle winner It was Max Hamaha. Along with an financial incentive, it noticed its title deployed on the LED screens of the stadium that housed on Might 11 the Soccer Membership Barcelona towards Actual Madrid, additionally known as the Traditional. It is among the most essential sporting occasions on the planet.
Hamaha had a Realized Revenue and Loss (RPNL, internet outcomes of earnings and losses made) increased than that of its opponents: it was probably the most worthwhile dealer.
Whereas competing within the ICTC 2025, the merchants’ screens had been filmed and proven, in addition to their faces, whereas they did technical evaluation and opened and closed operations. Throughout these 12 hours a tense and thrilling environment was breathed, equal to the reputational status at stake.
Within the occasion, 4 hosts that had been turned over six hours commented on the actual -time operations of the merchants, giving the competitors a sports activities format, frequent to that of chains similar to ESPN or Fox Sports activities, a format that was appreciated rather a lot and that managed to around the expertise. Being actual merchants, The commentators shared shut and related evaluation in regards to the actions of the merchants. Additionally they directed questions in actual time, who gave an account of their methods to the whole world within the midst of aggressive pressure.
Usually, I used to be stunned by the professionalism of the occasion, able to proposing a coherent and stimulating tv and sports activities format. Particularly when buying and selling, regardless of sharing frequent options with different types of leisure similar to video video games, had not been the topic of a therapy like this, a minimum of not on this skilled scale.
There was additionally a element that I favored: ICTC 2025 transmitted a small documentary about Bitcoin and the particular person of Satoshi Nakamoto For a useless time. The presence of the mom cryptoactive can’t be lacking in an occasion of nice magnitude like this.
Moreover, Whitebit restricted the quantity of exterior instruments or equipment out there to merchants to execute operations. These They may not use buying and selling bots, for instance, or any type of instruments that may improve actual -time operations administration. They may use tradingview with their evaluation indicators and instruments to design methods on worth graphics.
A further further further of the ICTC 2025 is that the merchants weren’t simply warriors, and the general public not solely spectators in a coliseum demanding blood. The position of the latter was extra interactive, residing and participant. This occasion amplified its radius of affect permitting merchants all over the world, by way of on-line, to compete throughout 6 hours in two days for awards.
These digital merchants might evaluate their RPNL with these of the merchants chosen by Whitebit that starred within the dwell present, and reveal for themselves that they deserved to be there, in ICTC 2025, earlier than different competitors merchants.
Think about, you could be transported from your private home to the sand. That was the thought of the best way to mix it. You can’t do that with another sport, similar to interactive competitors. It will be as if FC Barcelona performed soccer towards followers. For instance, you’re a fan of Barcelona and also you say: tomorrow is the basic, I generally is a defender. I can play higher than Cubarsí or Kounde.
Alex Kozenko, CMO de WhiteBIT.
It’s true that the competitors was not exempt from some weaknesses at its guidelines that would barely relieve the strain on merchants, though it was already excessive in itself, particularly on the reputational stage.
For instance, the funds they used had been provided by Whitebit. To make use of actual funds from your individual pocket, it’s doubtless that your threat tolerance, or a minimum of the boldness to commerce cryptocurrency pairs, It will have higher mirrored the emotional actuality of buying and selling. Some merchants might have skilled lag (response latency) When operating operations at particular instances.
In any case, Alex Kozenko, how of Whitebit and different members of the Alternate workforce assured that the ICTC will seem once more in 2026, so it’s anticipated that the occasion will probably be even higher subsequent 12 months.
The occasion of this 2025 had a specific taste due to a well timed coincidence: earlier than the beginning of the occasion, the worth of Bitcoin (BTC) skilled a powerful rise, in addition to that of the ETHER (ETH) and different Altcoins. BTC, particularly, value about $ 93,000 on Might 6. Three days later, when the occasion started, Bitcoin had already strongly damaged the $ 100,000 line. This coincidence gave the ICTC opponents with what they want most to reap the benefits of the market: a risky, oscillating surroundings; A promising local weather to buying and selling.
Alex Kozenko, how of Whitebit, had phrases about this coincidence of occasions throughout an interview on the event of the ICTC 2025: “Three weeks in the past or perhaps months, we had a gathering. My colleagues additionally requested me: Alex, I’m very frightened in regards to the market state of affairs for our ICTC. (…). And final week Bitcoin went up.”
His repetition subsequent 12 months, of occurring, will point out that this occasion is right here to remain. And what I wish to perpetuate is, exactly, merchants ought to attempt to earn consumer credibility.
On this sense, I want lengthy life to the ICTC organized by Whitebit, and likewise on the beginning of latest initiatives that promote skilled transparency as this contest achieved.
