It is reported that Bybit recently launched a new category of contracts: USDT Event Settlement Contracts, which are based on the outcomes of sports events. Users can trade these contracts in real time before and during matches, with automatic settlement after the event concludes. Product Features: - Contract prices are benchmarked at 10, reflecting the market’s real-time expectations for the home or away team’s victory: prices above 10 indicate bullish sentiment toward the home team; prices below 10 indicate bullish sentiment toward the away team. - Settlement price formula: 10 + (home team goals − away team goals). Only goals scored during the official 90-minute match duration count; goals scored during extra time or penalty shootouts are excluded. - Settlement occurs 130 minutes after the scheduled match kickoff. A “close-only” mode is activated during the final 20 minutes prior to settlement. - Maximum leverage supported is 5x; minimum initial margin is 10 USDT. According to comprehensive reports, the first batch of contracts will be rolled out progressively aligned with the 2026 FIFA World Cup schedule. Exact listing times for individual trading pairs will be announced officially by the platform.
WEEX Exchange has launched the large-scale themed trading reward campaign “World Cup × Monopoly: Participate and Win $1 Million in USDT,” which runs until 23:59:59 (UTC+8) on July 20, covering the entire World Cup season. The campaign features low participation thresholds and highly engaging interactive gameplay: users can earn dice by completing tasks such as registration, depositing funds, trading futures and spot assets, consuming dice, and inviting friends to join. After rolling the dice, users advance across the game board according to the number shown; landing on specific squares entitles them to rewards including BTC, ETH, and USDT. Rolling dice to advance on the board and completing weekly trading tasks both accumulate points. Reaching designated point thresholds unlocks milestone rewards such as USDT, WXT tokens, fee discounts, and trial funds. Additionally, users can spend points to interact with World Cup matches—cheering for their favorite teams—and leverage small investments to earn even more points.
