Registration requirement: Any user with at least 100 USDT in their account is eligible to register after the promotion starts.

Introduction to main segments and promotion pools:

With a total pool size of 3,000,000 USDT, the promotion pool scales dynamically based on the total number of participants. The more users, the greater the pool.

 

Activity 1: UEX arena—share up to 2,000,000 USDT

During the promotion, the UEX arena will feature five leaderboards: team PnL, team crypto futures trading volume, team TradFi perps trading volume, team spot stock (rToken) trading volume, and individual PnL.

UEX arena reward distribution:

•         Team PnL reward (1,000,000 USDT): Accounts for 50% of the UEX arena pool, shared among the top 30 teams ranked by PnL and proportional to their PnL.

•         Team crypto futures trading volume reward (300,000 USDT): Accounts for 15% of the UEX arena pool, shared among the top 10 teams ranked by their crypto futures trading volumes.

•         Team TradFi perps trading volume reward (300,000 USDT): Accounts for 15% of the UEX arena pool, shared among the top 10 teams ranked by their TradFi perps trading volumes.

•         Team spot stock (rToken) trading volume reward (200,000 USDT): Accounts for 10% of the UEX arena pool, shared among the top 10 teams ranked by their spot stock (rToken) trading volumes.

•         Individual PnL reward (200,000 USDT): Accounts for 10% of the UEX arena pool, shared among the top 500 eligible participants ranked by their individual PnL.

 

Team formation notes:

•         To become a team captain or join a team, users must have at least 100 USDT in futures assets. Joining a team or becoming a team captain automatically registers you for all tournament segments.

•         Each team must have at least 10 members, including the captain, to participate in the team battle.

•         Teams with fewer than 10 members cannot participate in the team battle. However, those members can still take part in the individual challenge and other segments.

•         Before the start of the challenge, the captain can remove a team member or dissolve a team, and a member can leave the team at any time.

•         During the registration phase, members in teams with fewer than 10 members can choose to leave their original team and join another team, and captains can choose to dissolve the team or remove specific members.

•         During the waitlist team formation period, teams with fewer than 10 members will be eligible to participate in the challenge once they reach 10 members. However, teams with 10 members will be considered "formation successful." In this case, team members will not be able to leave the team, and team captains will not be able to remove a member or dissolve the team. Teams with fewer than 10 members will still be in the "formation in progress" status. In this case, team members will be able to leave the team, and team captains will still be able to remove a member or dissolve the team.

•         A team's battle data will start being calculated once it reaches 10 members during the waitlist team formation period.

•         On the last day of the waitlist team formation period, all teams with fewer than 10 members will be dissolved and the team members will be randomly assigned to teams that have completed formation.

•         To receive a share of the promotion pool, participants must reach at least 30,000 USDT in total futures trading volume during the challenge. Users who do not meet this threshold will still appear in the rankings but won't receive rewards.

 

Team member reward distribution rules

The winning team's captain receives a 10% share exclusively, while a 40% share is divided among eligible team members ranked in the top 10 in terms of their PnL. The remaining 50% is shared among members who meet the trading volume criteria.

 

Participation and ranking details

Once the challenge begins, each eligible trade made by a user will automatically count toward their team's and individual data and rankings. 

All successfully formed teams will be automatically included in all the team PnL and trading volume leaderboards for each track. All users will also be automatically enrolled in the individual PnL leaderboard, with no separate registration required.

 

UEX arena | Additional rewards of up to 300,000 USDT

Early bird perks (200,000 USDT):

The first 10,000 users who join a team between August 26, 2026, 12:00 AM (UTC+8) and August 30, 2026, 11:59 PM (UTC+8) and trade at least 30,000 USDT during the tournament will receive 20 USDT in trading bonuses.

 

Captain reward (100,000 USDT):

•         Active trader reward (30,000 USDT): Shared among the top 30 captains whose teams have the most members reaching 30,000 USDT in individual trading volume during the challenge (and meeting the minimum valid member requirement).

•         Rising star recruiter reward (30,000 USDT): Shared among the top 30 captains with the most valid new users on their teams (and meeting the minimum requirement).

•         UEX pioneer reward (40,000 USDT): Shared among the top 30 captains with the most team members trading crypto futures, TradFi perps, and spot stocks (rToken) at the same time and meeting the minimum valid user requirement.

 

Captain reward distribution:

Captains will be ranked based on the number of active trading members in each team under the applicable reward track. The more active members a team has, the higher its ranking.

Rewards will be distributed according to the ranking tier and the corresponding minimum number of active members required.

•         Each team must reach both the applicable ranking tier and the minimum active member requirement for that tier to receive the corresponding reward.

•         If a team does not meet the member requirement for its current ranking tier, it will be moved down to the next lower reward tier.

•         If that still doesn't happen, it will keep moving down until it lands on a tier it qualifies for.

•         Rewards are distributed based on final rankings and the applicable reward tier, on a first-come, first-served basis. Once a tier's pool is exhausted, no further rewards will be distributed from it.

Example:

A team ranks 5th, which falls within the 4th–10th place reward tier (1200 USDT). However, the team has only 80 active members, short of the 100 required for that tier, so it moves down to the 11th–20th place tier and receives 750 USDT instead.

 

Activity 2: UEX treasure map—up to 600,000 USDT up for grabs

There are three types of rewards in the promotion: the welcome airdrop, task treasure chests, and the treasure map rewards. Details are as follows:

KCGI 2026 welcome airdrop:

Take part in the game on the promotion page to receive a welcome airdrop. Complete registration with an account balance of at least 100 USDT to unlock rewards.

Task treasure chests:

Users complete trading tasks to collect keys to open treasure chests and win guaranteed rewards.

Reward tracks: Win silver keys and golden keys from daily expedition and milestone adventure respectively, which will be used to open the silver and golden chests.

Treasure map assembly:

Users complete specified trading tasks to collect treasure map puzzle pieces (eight in total). Collect two pieces from the same track to activate that track. Collect all pieces to activate the entire map and unlock fixed rewards and a share of the total treasure map pool.

 

UEX treasure map guidelines:

•         Complete the tasks specified on the promotion page to earn keys and open chests. Any chests left unopened when the promotion ends will expire.

•         The task list shown on the promotion page is final. Each task is independent, and users can earn the corresponding rewards for completing each task.

•         Treasure chests must be opened promptly after being claimed. Unopened chests will expire on September 22, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM (UTC+8).

•         Pieces of each track can only be earned during the promotion. Any pieces not assembled by the end of the promotion will automatically expire.

•         Vouchers will be distributed the next day after being obtained.

•         Physical rewards will be distributed within 14 working days after the promotion ends. Submit your shipping information promptly. If a merchandise item is unavailable, it will be substituted with an item of equivalent value.

•         If you do not receive your rewards within the designated period, it means that you did not meet the requirements and failed to pass the review. Contact customer service if you have any questions.

 

Activity 3: KCGI livestream giveaway

•         Results will be revealed via livestream two days after the tournament ends. Users who successfully register for KCGI 2026 and reach a cumulative futures trading volume of 30,000 USDT during the tournament period will be eligible to participate in the grand giveaway.

•         Giveaway rewards: KCGI 2026 exclusive merch, a gold-plated Bitget football, crypto vouchers, futures trading bonuses, and more.

•         Pictures are for reference only and may not exactly represent the actual rewards.

•         If for any reason the final rewards cannot be delivered to the winning user or there is a delay, Bitget has the right to replace the rewards with another of equal or greater value within a reasonable range. Bitget reserves all rights to final interpretation.

 

Promotion rules:

•         Once the promotion begins, users whose account balance reaches 100 USDT are eligible to register for the competition. Participants must complete Bitget's required identity verification review before the promotion ends to obtain and claim promotion rewards. Account balance will be determined based on Bitget's system records.

•         The total pool is capped at 3,000,000 USDT and will be dynamically unlocked based on the total number of eligible participants. ("Eligible participants" refers to users who register successfully during the promotion. The final reward pool amount will be determined based on the number of eligible participants at the end of the promotion, in accordance with the unlock rules published on the promotion page.) Each participant must reach at least 30,000 USDT in valid futures trading volume during the promotion period to qualify for the reward pool. Participants who do not reach 30,000 USDT in valid futures trading volume may still appear in the final rankings but will not be eligible for rewards.

•         Trading volume is calculated based on the notional value of actual executed orders. Cancelled orders, unfilled orders, abnormal trades, wash trading, improperly matched orders, and any transactions deemed by Bitget to violate the promotion rules will not be counted toward the promotion's trading volume calculation.

•         The tournament offers three major tracks:

Crypto futures: USDT-M perpetual/delivery futures, with up to 125x leverage and over 600 trading pairs.

TradFi perps: Perpetual futures on stocks, commodities, and precious metals, with up to 100x leverage and USDT as margin, tradable 24/7.

Spot stocks (rToken): Tokenized U.S. stocks issued by Reality, Bitget's compliant RWA protocol, fully backed 1:1 by the underlying assets and tradable directly with USDT.

Trading volume is calculated separately for each track, while PnL feeds into one overall leaderboard—so any track you choose counts toward it.

•         New users refer to users who complete Bitget account signup on or after 12:00 AM (UTC+8) on August 26, 2026, and successfully register for this KCGI promotion during the promotion period. User signup time will be determined based on Bitget's system records.
