In a remarkable display of collective enthusiasm and engagement, WSOT 2025 attracted an unprecedented 71,765 unique participants in just 24 hours, starting from August 27 at noon UTC. This record is not merely a statistic; it is a clear reflection of growing interest in cryptocurrency trading among a diverse array of individuals. The accomplishment was verified by HACKEN, a reputable third-party auditor, and witnessed by independent observers, culminating in an official recognition from the Guinness World Records.
Claudia Wang, the Head of Marketing at Bybit, aptly noted, “Nothing demonstrates team spirit like a world record achieved by the WSOT collective. We believe crypto is a global movement and our passionate communities are the building blocks. Bybit is beyond proud to spearhead efforts to bring the recognition our WSOT family deserves.” She emphasized that the WSOT 2025 would be remembered as a pivotal moment in cryptocurrency history, thanking every trader, learner, livestream viewer, and contributor who played a part in creating this record-breaking event.
As of now, with one week remaining in the main competition, WSOT 2025 has engineered several record-setting milestones across various pivotal metrics.

– A total of 236,209 registrations, with 43,505 participants involved in the WSOT.
To celebrate this extraordinary achievement, Bybit announced that the first 30,000 eligible participants meeting the record criteria would divide an additional secret prize pool beyond the main million pot. Further fueling the excitement, Bybit orchestrated a live-streamed event on September 8, 2025, where viewers had the chance to win 50,000 MNT alongside 1,000 USDT in airdrops.
