BTCC, the world’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the launch of the BTCC x AFA Trading Championship, a futures trading competition running from May 6 to May 26, 2026. The campaign features a prize pool of over one million USDT, with the ultimate reward reserved for the No. 1-ranked trader: a jersey signed by Lionel Messi, captain of the Argentine National Football Team.

The competition is open to all registered users. Traders compete on two separate leaderboards: a Futures Trading Volume Leaderboard, where the prize pool unlocks dynamically based on total community trading volume, and an Individual Profit Rate Leaderboard, offering a dedicated prize pool of 80,000 USDT for traders who achieve the highest returns.

Rewards from both pools can be claimed simultaneously, giving skilled traders of all styles multiple ways to earn rewards. 

The championship is the latest campaign under BTCC’s partnership with the Argentine Football Association (AFA), which spans the full 2026 FIFA World Cup schedule. Since being named the official regional sponsor of the AFA, BTCC has rolled out a series of fan-favorite campaigns, including a lucky draw for AFA-signed merchandise and the “Legends Made With Every Trade” video released last week.

The momentum carries well beyond May. June 2026 marks BTCC’s 15th anniversary, and users can look forward to a mega trading campaign coinciding with the FIFA World Cup, complete with large-scale competitions and winner prediction challenges.

Full campaign rules and registration details are available on the BTCC website.
