Bitget has concluded its Universal Cup trading competition, distributing a total prize pool of $350,000 to participants. The exchange confirmed that all cash rewards and vouchers were sent out automatically to winners, closing out the contest without requiring manual claims.
Golden Ball Winners
Beyond the cash payouts, two participants — identified by Bitget only by partial account numbers ending in 983 and 989 — were singled out as winners of the contest's exclusive Golden Ball merchandise, a physical prize tier separate from the main cash pool. Singling out a small number of winners for a distinct physical reward is a common way exchanges add an extra layer of exclusivity to otherwise standard trading contests.
Automatic Distribution
Bitget emphasized that all cash rewards and vouchers tied to the Universal Cup were distributed automatically rather than through a manual claims process, reducing friction for participants and limiting the chance that eligible winners miss out on payouts due to missed deadlines or claim windows.
Part of Bitget's Contest Calendar
The Universal Cup adds to a steady stream of trading competitions and reward campaigns Bitget has run in recent weeks, part of a broader industry pattern of exchanges using contests with substantial prize pools to drive trading volume and engagement, particularly on futures products where contest structures reward high-frequency activity.
