MEXC Ventures2026-09-01 09:47:08MEXC Ventures-backed Alpha Arena Bali final ends with Arumando taking the titleMEXC Ventures, the official main sponsor of Alpha Arena S03, said the Alpha Arena Bali final has concluded following the event held on Aug. 21 during Coinfest Asia 2026. Japan’s Arumando won the championship, while Murasaki Trades from the Philippines and South Korea’s Coin6097 finished second and third. After the final, MEXC CEO Vugar presented awards to the three winners. The competition brought together 20 traders in a live demo trading environment, where they competed for a $100,000 prize pool. The Bali event closed out Alpha Arena’s first Asia-Pacific edition after participants advanced through online regional qualifiers before meeting for the in-person final. According to the event details, the format combined group-stage rounds with a final elimination stage, while timed challenges, heart-rate monitoring and randomly drawn mystery cards added uncertainty throughout the contest. Rankings shifted repeatedly, and the winner was not settled until the last moments of the final. More than 200 people attended at Venue 1, and combined online and on-site viewership topped 10,000. After the awards ceremony, nearly 300 industry participants gathered at the Coinfest Sunset Deck for a championship celebration. Vugar said standing out among traders from 12 countries was "no easy task," and described MEXC Ventures’ support for Alpha Arena as part of its effort to identify talent, explore new ideas and create more growth opportunities for participants.360
