DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, kicked off the globally anticipated Main Competition of World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025 on August 27, 2025, as was announced in an official livestream. This follows a 10-day pre-heat stage where traders divided $670,000 in rewards after generating $78 billion in trading volume. The race for the $8 million total prize pool for Main Competition is on until September 15, 2025, representing a defining moment for traders worldwide to rewrite and reshape their future in crypto.
WSOT Main Competition: Unprecedented Scale and Transformation
The livestream, themed WSOT 2025: The Ultimate Trading Showdown Starts Now, is part of the WSOT 2025 livestream series serving global as well as regional audiences in multiple languages. The session featured guest speakers Dusty BC, crypto trader and KOL, Alex Marzell, crypto trader and investor, and Sam, CEO of Tealstreet.
In the livestream, organizers revealed that Bybit WSOT 2025 had shattered previous participation records with over 1,400 squads ready for battle by the end of the pre-heat stage. Over 350,000 participants had signed up, over four times of the total number of competitors in 2024. WSOT 2025’s transformation centers on eliminating traditional barriers that limited competitive trading to high-capital participants. The competition now welcomes traders starting from just $100, creating the most inclusive trading arena of its kind in cryptocurrency history.
The flagship event’s main competition features the Squad Showdown with $3.76 million prize pool, while the Individual Showdown boasts an even larger $4.4 million prize pool for traders of all styles.
Celebrating Trading Excellence on Multiple Stages
With comprehensive support systems spanning educational resources, community engagement, and professional-grade trading infrastructure, WSOT 2025 establishes new standards for what competitive trading can achieve on a global scale.
WSOT 2025 provides unprecedented opportunities for traders to demonstrate their skills across diverse formats. The four-tier system ensures fair competition regardless of capital size, while regional competitions across nine territories allow traders to compete within their geographic communities.
The competition also pioneered the integration of decentralized trading through the first-ever Onchain Wave on Solana, featuring over $1 million in BBSOL and USDC rewards. Running from August 18 through September 15, WSOT Onchain Wave unites centralized and decentralized traders on a single leaderboard through strategic partnerships with leading Solana ecosystem projects including xStocks, Sanctum, DeFiTuna, Sonic SVM, CUDIS, and Fragmetric.
Industry veteran Dusty BC emphasized the competition’s transformative potential: “For the first time, we’re focusing on smaller traders in the $100 range because it opens up incredible opportunities that were previously unavailable.”
The competition is heating up during exceptionally dynamic market conditions. Crypto trader Alex Marzell noted that “we’re seeing the highest Google search trends for altcoins and trading in the last four to five years,” while market analysis suggests strong momentum building toward Q4 2025.
The convergence of expanded accessibility, record prize pools, and bullish market sentiment positions WSOT 2025 as a flagship event in competitive cryptocurrency trading. The competition’s “Rewrite and Reshape” theme reflects its mission to transform how traders worldwide approach competitive excellence, creating pathways for success previously reserved for elite participants.
For both participants and crypto enthusiasts, WSOT has curated a series of livestreams by topic and region, offering a free platform and research resources presented by the best in the industry. From investment theories (Mandarin), trading playbook of seasoned traders, excelling in Web3 by Solana’s top builders, to a WSOT veteran’s reflection, the WSOT 2025 livestream series celebrates the trading community and Web3 visionaries across the world.
Making History with WSOT 2025
With a total prize pool of $10 million, WSOT 2025 is one of the most rewarding competition in the industry as it aims to reshape the competitive trading landscape. The convergence of expanded accessibility, record prize pools, and bullish market sentiment positions WSOT 2025 as a watershed moment for competitive cryptocurrency trading. The competition’s mission to “Rewrite and Reshape” stands to transform the rules of trading.

ChainGPT Pad is proud to announce the unveiling of Buzzdrops and Initial Buzz Offerings (IBOs). These new campaign formats power the brand-new Buzz system by ChainGPT. Buzz is designed to transform how Web3 projects engage their communities and distribute tokens.
Users can visit ChainGPT Pad to participate in Buzz campaigns, including the first-ever Buzzdrop now live.
Traditional airdrops often suffer from bot activity and low-quality participation, while IDOs raise capital but generate little organic traction ahead of TGE. Buzzdrops and IBOs solve these problems by tying allocations directly to verifiable social impact, rewarding users for authentic engagement on X (Twitter) and other tasks.
How It Works
Buzz uses a performance-based scoring system where every post, share, referral, or engagement task translates into Buzz Points. Points are tracked on live leaderboards, and token allocations are distributed proportionally at snapshot.
Key features include:
- Daily Quests: Participants can tweet, stake, read updates, or complete campaign tasks to earn extra XP.
- Leaderboard Rankings: Participants can climb to the top and boost your share of rewards.
- Referral System: A custom referral link allows users to earn a percentage of referees’ Buzz and staking points, plus their campaign spend.
- Quality Bonuses: Posts with strong engagement, visuals, or “smart followers” score higher.
- Fair Distribution: Caps ensure no single user can dominate; up to 1,000 winners may share a pool in larger campaigns.
Buzzdrops
Buzzdrops are community-driven token distribution campaigns. Participants earn tokens purely through activity — posting, sharing, and completing tasks. At snapshot, allocations are distributed transparently on-chain, ensuring rewards go to real contributors.
IBOs (Initial Buzz Offerings)
IBOs combine community engagement with early access allocations. Participants earn Buzz Points through the same activity system, clear KYC requirements, and may then commit stablecoins. Allocations are scaled by impact on the leaderboard, creating a launch that blends fundraising with organic visibility.
For Projects
Launching on Buzz is designed to be seamless:
- Projects select Buzzdrop or IBO.
- Campaign rules, geo-blocks, and token details are set via dashboard.
- Users connect wallet + X, post content, and climb the leaderboard.
- Snapshot is taken; allocations are calculated (50% stakers, 50% buzzers, with individual caps).
- Tokens and rewards are distributed via on-chain settlement.
“We’re so excited to launch the Buzz system. Buzzdrops and IBOs truly give projects a launch strategy that is both fair and viral,” said Gintare Kairyte, CEO of ChainGPT Pad. “Communities benefit from real rewards for their activity, while projects enter TGE with momentum and an engaged holder base.”
First Campaigns Incoming
The first Buzzdrops and IBOs are set to go live with SnowBall Finance, Ekox, and ChainGPT bringing the new system to communities across Web3. Further Buzz campaigns are planned to be announced in the near future.
About ChainGPT
ChainGPT is an AI-powered Web3 infrastructure provider building tools, platforms, and protocols for the next generation of blockchain innovation. Its ecosystem includes the ChainGPT AI suite (smart contract generator, NFT generator, trading assistant, auditor, and more), ChainGPT Pad (launchpad and incubation hub), the viral Buzz system for community-driven token launches, and the upcoming AIVM blockchain, a Layer-1 designed to support decentralized AI compute and verifiable on-chain execution.

EcoSync, a regulated climate fintech platform headquartered in Dubai, and CarbonCore, a pioneering Ethereum-based protocol for tokenized carbon assets, have officially announced their strategic alliance to launch one of the world’s most comprehensive Regenerative Finance (ReFi) ecosystems.
By merging off-chain legitimacy with on-chain programmability, EcoSync and CarbonCore aim to unlock a new category of real-world asset (RWA): high-integrity, transparently verified carbon credits that are tradeable, stakeable, and integrated across both traditional and decentralized finance.
A New Standard for Climate-Linked Crypto Assets
The EcoSync–CarbonCore collaboration addresses one of the largest bottlenecks in climate finance: the fragmentation between carbon registries, opaque intermediaries, and the lack of liquidity or pricing transparency in carbon markets.
Their joint model introduces:
- Tokenized Carbon Credits: CarbonCore issues cryptographically verifiable carbon tokens, starting with REDD+ and nature-based projects. All tokens are backed by off-chain verification data and anchored to existing standards (e.g., Verra, Gold Standard).
- Custody and Compliance: EcoSync operates under Dubai’s digital asset and carbon license framework, offering regulated custody, fiat on/off ramps, and ESG-compliant banking solutions.
- DeFi Integration: Credits can be staked, pooled, or traded through CarbonCore’s smart contracts, enabling DeFi-native utilities such as carbon-backed lending, yield farming, and futures markets.
“We’re not here to wrap carbon credits in a token and call it innovation. We’re building the infrastructure to make carbon a programmable, investable asset class,” said Henry, co-founder of Carboncore, speaking on behalf of both teams. “This isn’t just about credits — it’s about liquidity, yield, governance, and interoperability.”
Climate Impact Meets Capital Efficiency
EcoSync and CarbonCore offer an end-to-end lifecycle for project developers, investors, and institutions:
- Originate: Project owners list their projects with verified methodologies (REDD+, mangroves, cookstoves, renewables).
- Tokenize: CarbonCore issues tokenized credits and locks metadata on-chain for transparency and auditability.
- Custody & Monetize: EcoSync provides regulated carbon custody, enabling institutional onboarding and RWA-backed financial products.
- Yield & Trade: Tokenized credits can be staked into CarbonCore’s liquidity vaults or sold in futures markets to buyers, corporates, or DAOs.
- Redeem & Retire: Credits can be burned (retired) or held for appreciation, with full traceability and integration into ESG reporting tools.
Ethereum as the Carbon Settlement Layer
CarbonCore is built on Ethereum Layer 1 and Bahamut Layer 1, with planned deployments on Ethereum, Base, and other L2 blockchains that offer fast mining time with low fees.
- All carbon tokens adhere to ERC standards (ERC-1155/20 hybrid) and integrate seamlessly with existing DeFi protocols and wallets.
“We envision a world where carbon assets are traded like stablecoins, composable like NFTs, and as yield-generating as DeFi vaults — all while delivering measurable climate impact,” said Henry, CarbonCore.
EcoSync: Building the Regulated Rails for Institutional ReFi
EcoSync acts as the regulated bridge between the carbon markets and financial institutions:
- Digital Carbon Custody: Secure, licensed holding of tokenized credits in a compliant framework.
- Banking Suite: ESG-linked accounts, carbon credit–backed debit cards, cross-border remittance tools, and green investment products.
- Fund Management: Structured carbon funds for retail and institutional investors, benchmarked to credit quality, geography, and methodology.
EcoSync is also in a planned partnership with a licensed digital bank to pilot carbon-backed stablecoins, ESG credit scoring tools, and green loans.
Roadmap & Expansion
The joint venture will begin with pilot projects in Southeast Asia and Latin America — regions with high-volume REDD+ initiatives and undercapitalized carbon markets.
Upcoming Milestones:
- Q3 2025: Launch of first tokenized carbon credit pool (REDD+ forest assets, Borneo & Brazil)
- Q4 2025: Carbon Futures Market goes live
- Q1 2026: EcoSync ESG Yield Fund launch & fiat integration
- Q2 2026: DAO-enabled carbon governance & cross-chain expansion
Why It Matters
In a carbon-constrained economy, verifiable emissions reduction assets are no longer just environmental instruments — they’re financial primitives. This partnership signifies a future where:
- Carbon credits become liquid, transparent, and yield-generating.
- Institutional investors access compliant climate RWAs without compromising on DeFi efficiency.
- Climate projects gain upfront capital, revenue certainty, and programmable financing.
“Climate is the utility layer of Web3. EcoSync and CarbonCore are here to build the protocol stack behind it.”

WorldShards, a cross-platform MMORPG developed by Lowkick Studio, is about to make the big step in joining GameFi’s biggest projects.
The game offers dynamic, ever-changing environments and a progression model that allows players to access all content from the start — no level grinding required. Crafting, trading, and exploration are at the core of gameplay, with players creating all essential items including weapons, tools, and armor.
Special collectibles — such as rare islands and crafting-enhancing artifacts — are available through in-game achievements and limited-time events, adding value without compromising accessibility.
Previously users had to get access keys or digital land to get into WorldShards, but ahead of the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE), expected on September 5th, 2025, anyone can play WorldShards free for 30 days. Players who would be active at least 25 of those days will receive full access to the game at no cost.
Following the announcement of a centralized exchange partnership with Bybit, the team is preparing to unveil a full list of additional CEX partners in the upcoming week.
The project follows a fair launch model — no token allocations for the team or early investors. Only 5–10% of the total supply will be unlocked at launch, with the rest vested over six years to support long-term economic stability.
Backed by Abu Dhabi Gaming and OpenLoot, and supported by a growing community of over 500,000 members, WorldShards has also recorded $8.6 million in NFT sales in 2024 and has shown impressive traction with more than 600,000 UAW(unique active wallets) engaged prior to TGE. The team at Lowkick Studio includes veteran developers with experience on titles such as World of Tanks and Allods Online.
About Lowkick Studio
Founded in 2022 in Abu Dhabi, Lowkick Studio is a game development company specializing in bringing MMORPG experiences to web3. The studio’s flagship title, WorldShards, is a free-to-play multiplayer action role-playing game featuring dynamic combat, extensive exploration, and a crafting system designed to give players more control over their in-game assets.

Ethereum-based meme project Pepeto ($PEPETO) has raised over $6.5 million in its ongoing presale, with more than 40 billion tokens sold so far. The presale is taking place amid a broader 2025 trend of renewed activity in meme-themed digital assets, marked by increased social engagement and narrative-driven participation.
While many expected utility-based blockchains to dominate this year, meme coins like Pepeto prove they’re still leading much of the online hype, especially when paired with real products like exchanges, bridges, and staking tools.
Pepeto Presale Crosses $6.5M Milestone
$PEPETO has recorded over $6.5 million in presale funding to date, with increased participation reported following the release of its exchange demo. According to the Pepeto team, this places the project among the more heavily funded Ethereum-based meme-themed initiatives launched in 2025.
Currently priced at $0.000000150 per token, $PEPETO remains accessible for early investors looking to join before it opens for public trading.
Community Hype and Exchange Demo Fuel Visibility
Pepeto’s team attributes its current visibility to growing community activity across platforms such as Twitter and Telegram. The recent release of the demo exchange has prompted increased user engagement on social media channels.
According to the Pepeto team, the current level of community engagement reflects patterns seen in earlier meme token cycles, with the project aiming to build on this momentum through its Ethereum-based infrastructure
Pepeto’s Growth Overview
Several key factors are fueling Pepeto’s milestone presale:
- Ethereum-Based Foundation: Built on Ethereum, Pepeto benefits from the security and recognition of the network while introducing unique utilities.
- Viral Community Engagement: Over 100,000 active followers across socials continue to amplify Pepeto’s story, making it one of the most discussed presales of 2025.
- Dual Security Audits: Fully audited by SolidProof and Coinsult, giving cautious investors more confidence in the project’s legitimacy.
- Strategic Tokenomics: A fixed supply of 420T tokens, mirroring Pepe, with allocations for presale, staking (242% APY), marketing, and liquidity, designed to support sustainable growth.
- Utility-Backed Ecosystem: A demo version of the Pepeto Exchange has already been displayed on socials, showcasing the zero-fee exchange, swap tech, and bridge. Applications are opening for Web3 projects to list in Stage 2.
What’s Next for Pepeto After the Presale?
With the presale still active, Pepeto’s team has confirmed that Tier 1 exchange listings are in discussion, liquidity provisioning, and wider marketing will follow immediately after. These moves are designed to position $PEPETO strongly for its next market phase.

YouTube Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVWPsZ69xnw
To date, Pepeto has secured over $6.5 million and distributed tens of billions of tokens through its presale. This shows real belief in the project’s roadmap and utility-first meme coin approach. The team’s transparency and consistent delivery continue to drive attention from retail and whale investors alike.
According to the Pepeto team, the project’s strategy is focused on long-term development rather than short-term market activity following its public trading launch. It’s creating the home of meme coins, powered by real infrastructure, scalable tech, and a Pepe-faced brand that’s already making waves like what history showed with Dogecoin, Shiba and Pepe itself.

MultiBank Group, the world’s largest financial derivatives institution, has announced the successful execution of its buyback and burn program, permanently removing 4,860,000 $MBG tokens from circulation.
The milestone follows the Group’s record-breaking financial results, with H1 2025 revenue reaching $209 million and an average daily trading turnover of $36 billion since the Token Generation Event on July 22.
The $MBG Buyback and Burn program underscores MultiBank Group’s commitment to rewarding its community while strengthening the long-term fundamentals of the $MBG Utility Token. By reducing supply, the Group is actively driving scarcity and reinforcing token value. The initiative is structured to scale significantly, with up to $58.2 million worth of $MBG expected to be retired in the first year and a cumulative $440 million over five years.
The move builds on the token’s strong early performance. Since listing on July 22 across MultiBank.io, MEXC, Gate.io, Uniswap, and BingX, $MBG has climbed to seven times its debut price, attracting worldwide attention as one of the market’s most closely followed new assets.
Naser Taher, Founder and Chairman of MultiBank Group, said: “This first buyback proves the power of our ecosystem, bridging TradFi, our institutional ECN, a regulated crypto exchange, and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. $MBG is becoming the utility token at the core of it all. Today’s burn is just the start — with additional utilities, greater scarcity, and more community rewards coming soon.”

- First edition of the flagship institutional event, hosted by Story in collaboration with Blockworks and Korea’s largest finance media, Korea Economic Daily, convenes global leaders in AI, IP, and crypto to explore IP as the foundation of the $80T opportunity powering the AI economy.
- The first lineup of speakers highlights the leaders and masterminds behind Korea’s world-renowned IP phenomena from BTS and BLACKPINK to aespa and Baby Shark. These include CEOs and founders from HYBE, The Black Label, SM Entertainment, The Pinkfong Company, and many more, while attracting leaders of top crypto companies like Polygon and Animoca Brands and Wall Street’s top firms such as Morgan Stanley and Grayscale.
Story, the world’s IP blockchain, in collaboration with Blockworks and Korea Economic Daily (Korea’s largest finance media group), today announced the inaugural Origin Summit, the flagship institutional event at the intersection of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and intellectual property. The Summit will take place on September 23, 2025, during Korea Blockchain Week (KBW) in Seoul, and will bring together leading voices across AI, blockchain, and finance to explore IP as the linchpin to unlocking an $80 trillion, illiquid market at the heart of AI’s next evolution.
Intellectual property (IP) is the backbone of global creativity, culture, and innovation. IP spans everything from AI training data and music catalogs to biotech patents, entertainment franchises, and user-generated content. Valued at over $80 trillion, IP is one of the world’s largest and most important asset classes, but it remains fragmented, illiquid, and largely invisible to markets.
As artificial intelligence advances, access to verified, rights-cleared IP is becoming critical. Models need structured data, not scraped content, and AI-native applications require infrastructure that can trace, license, and monetize contributions in real time. Meanwhile, institutional capital is searching for the next wave of real-world assets, and crypto is evolving from speculation to programmable ownership. IP sits at the center of this convergence. Origin Summit brings together the builders, investors, and cultural leaders unlocking the programmable IP economy, where AI, crypto, and capital align around one of the most consequential frontiers of the next decade.
Why Korea?
Few places on earth better capture the convergence of culture, capital, and technology than South Korea. It’s home to one of the world’s most digitally fluent populations, a booming creative IP sector, widespread digital-asset adoption, and some of the strongest industrial players advancing embodied AI.
- Cultural IP exports, including music, gaming, film, and animation, reached $13.6 billion in 2024.
- IP exports have more than tripled over the past decade, hitting $9.85 billion.
- South Korea has the largest number of paid ChatGPT subscribers outside the U.S., reflecting its world-leading AI adoption. Weekly usage has exploded (up 4.5× over the past year), making it one of the most dynamic and AI-savvy markets globally.
- Korea is fast emerging as the frontier of Physical AI and robotics, with Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and SK leading the charge. It has the world’s highest robot density (1,012 per 10,000 workers) and a robotics market growing nearly 15% annually, reinforced by the K-Humanoid Alliance aiming for advanced humanoids by 2028.
- Crypto adoption is surging, with 30% of the population (~15.6 million people) actively investing in digital assets.
- South Korean exchanges currently capture nearly 50% of global altcoin trading volume.
- Coupled with a vibrant retail trading base ($663B in KRW trades vs USD markets) and consolidated liquidity on platforms like Upbit and Bithumb, Korea has emerged as a critical hub for digital asset innovation.
- The domestic crypto market reached a value of ₩102 trillion, with daily trading volumes up 20% year-over-year.
The global rise of K-pop and K-drama, as well as gaming giants like Lineage, MapleStory, and PUBG, has thrust the country into the spotlight as a global IP powerhouse. And with national champions like Samsung, LG, Hyundai, and SK pushing the boundaries of embodied and physical AI, Korea is rapidly becoming a global hub for innovation with a burgeoning consumer market.
