The <\/span>World Series of Trading (WSOT)<\/b> is a global trading competition hosted by <\/span>Bybit<\/b>, the second-largest cryptocurrency exchange. The 2024 event ran throughout October, attracting <\/span>80,000 participants across 380 teams<\/b>. Teams competed in several categories, with performance measured mainly by <\/span>capital appreciation<\/b> over the contest period.<\/span><\/p>


The competition is extremely demanding, requiring continuous trading over an entire month. For <\/span>Dopamine Investments<\/b>, it provided a chance to benchmark trading strategies against global peers and test several tactics under real-world conditions for potential integration into the fund’s broader portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The team’s success centred on <\/span>identifying market inefficiencies<\/b> within the cryptocurrency space. By targeting smaller, more volatile tokens, they focused on parts of the market that tend to be less efficient and offer greater opportunities for profitable trading.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

One notable example was the token <\/span>FitFi<\/b>, which declined sharply due to <\/span>inflationary pressure<\/b>. Despite the deteriorating fundamentals, it remained available for leveraged trading on <\/span>Bybit<\/b> \u2014 a structural inefficiency the team was able to identify and exploit. Following an internal analysis and review of trading activity, <\/span>Bybit<\/b> removed several similar tokens from its platform.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

These types of inefficiencies are common across exchanges. Larger platforms like <\/span>Binance<\/b> usually correct them quickly, while smaller exchanges often react only after significant market dislocations.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Among the team’s most successful trades were futures positions on <\/span>Ethereum (ETH)<\/b> and <\/span>Bitcoin (BTC)<\/b>, particularly a long position in <\/span>Ethereum<\/b> that delivered strong returns during a broader market rally. The timing of the event, coinciding with improving market sentiment, supported the strategy’s success.<\/span><\/p>


Thorough market research, disciplined preparation, and the ability to move quickly<\/b> on emerging opportunities were key to placing first in the event.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
