VICTORIA, Seychelles -
Thursday, 11. June 2026
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bitget,
the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Universal
Cup, a global football-themed community campaign that invites users to
compete for a share of a 250,000 USDT prize pool through an interactive
mini-game inspired by one of the biggest sporting events this year.
Built
around the "Don't Just Watch. Rule the Game," Universal Cup transforms
spectators into participants through a global competition where users
represent nations, score points, climb leaderboards, and unlock rewards
throughout the tournament.
Players
can choose from 48 countries and participate in a penalty shootout
challenge featuring moving targets representing Crypto, Stocks, and
CFDs. Individual scores contribute to national rankings, creating a live
global leaderboard that evolves throughout the competition. Users can
continue participating across every stage of the tournament, even if
their original nation is eliminated simply by switching countries. The
tournament runs from June 11 till July 19 2026.
The
campaign includes a total prize pool of 250,000 USDT distributed
through daily rewards, leaderboard rankings, lucky draws, and
championship prizes. Top participants will compete for rewards
throughout each tournament phase, with additional prizes available to
members of the eventual winning nation.
"For years, sports fans have been some of the most passionate audiences in the world, but mostly as spectators," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget.
"Crypto changes that dynamic by making participation part of the
experience. Universal Cup brings together competition, community, and
engagement around a global sporting moment while giving users a fun
introduction to the Universal Exchange ecosystem."
Universal
Cup builds on Bitget's long-standing connection with the global
football community. The company previously partnered with football icon
Lionel Messi and currently serves as an official regional partner of
LALIGA across Eastern, Southeast Asian, and Latin American markets.
Through the Universal Cup, Bitget brings that relationship one step
further, creating an interactive experience where football fans and
traders can participate together rather than simply follow the action
from the sidelines.
Don't just watch. Rule the Game. Join the Universal Cup.
