These market conditions have been quite torturous lately.
Back and forth—going long or short, you can easily get taken out.
Then I happened to come across this event on Gate.
WCTC 2026 S8 directly offers an 8 million USD prize pool.
My first reaction wasn’t actually about wanting to participate.
It was more like: with the market like this, do you still dare to run such a big competition?
I’d planned to lower my trading frequency these past couple of days.
I even had a bit of a thought about checking out the gold and crude oil side (it just feels a little easier than the crypto world).
But I found that this time, even TradFi counts as a result.
So it’s kind of subtle.
And at a time like this, they’re still doubling down to roll out more activities.
That says a lot—they must have some confidence in their liquidity and their user pool.
Anyway, one sentence:
Even though the market is pretty bad, some people are still going big.
Have you been seriously trading these days, 👀?
