Bitget opens registration for 2026 KCGI with a 3 million USDT prize pool

Bitget has opened registration for the 2026 King’s Cup Global Invitational, or KCGI, and has launched early-bird rewards and team registration at the same time. The event has been upgraded around what Bitget calls the "UEX panoramic competition" format, bringing together three trading tracks for the first time: crypto futures, TradFi futures, and stock spot trading through rToken. All participants will compete in the same arena under one prize pool and one ranking system. The total prize pool is 3 million USDT. As part of the event structure, Bitget has introduced five gameplay modules: the UEX Arena, the UEX Treasure Map, captain rewards, early-bird rewards, and a livestream lucky draw tied to the closing ceremony. The UEX Arena carries rewards of up to 2 million USDT, while the Treasure Map segment offers prize chests with a total of up to 600,000 USDT and a stated 100% winning rate. Team captains are eligible for a dedicated 100,000 USDT incentive pool. In addition, the first 10,000 users who join a team and complete the required tasks before Aug. 30 can compete for a 200,000 USDT early-bird pool. Registration will remain open through Sept. 22, according to Bitget’s official platform.
