Gate WCTC S9: 6 million USDT headline pool, 2.17 million unlocked, ends November 25
Overview
Gate's ninth World Crypto Trading Championship is running with a headline pool of up to 6 million USDT across team competition, solo competition and up-down PK matches. As of November 8 the official dashboard showed 2.17 million USDT actually unlocked, 10,287 participating teams and 33,800 valid traders. The second half of the team competition opens on November 10, which is the window available to anyone registering now.
Requirements
Registration closes at 08:00 UTC on November 25, and first visit to the campaign page registers you automatically, with identity verification required to receive rewards. A valid trading user is defined as 5,000 USDT of converted volume, and the solo competition requires at least 20,000 USDT. API users, VIP15 and above, market makers, corporate accounts and sub-accounts are excluded.
Reward
The team pool splits across two halves, October 26 to November 10 and November 10 to November 25, at 45% and 55%, and each half divides by 60% platform volume, 20% CFD volume and 20% profit leaderboard, with team captains taking 20% of leaderboard rewards. There is also a Lucky Launch Zone and a trading carnival. Rewards pay within 15 business days after the event.

Risk notes
The 6 million is a ceiling rather than a payout, since the official page itself says the maximum does not represent the amount actually distributed. The dashboard showed 2.17 million unlocked on November 8, while last season's S8 unlocked 980,000 against its advertised maximum. The next unlock needs 50,000 valid traders and currently sits at 33,800. Service availability is limited in the UK and other restricted regions. Competitions like this convert fees into rankings, so work out your own trading cost before entering.
How to take part
- Always enter through the official link listed under Source — never a shortened link from a stranger.
- Use a dedicated wallet. Start with a small transaction, confirm it behaves as expected, then scale.
- Check every requirement one by one, especially snapshot times and holding periods.
- Claim or confirm before the deadline — expired windows are rarely re-opened.
