Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has officially extended the AI vs. Human: 1-on-1 Trading Showdown to retail traders, bringing head-to-head matches with advanced artificial intelligence models to Bybit users. The three-week event starts from now until March 27, featuring competitive matchups against ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi, with a total prize pool of 362,388 USDT.
The Showdown has been the first of its kind among CEX since the first round of institutional battle commenced in January. The competition offers flexible match durations, allowing users to partake in one, two, or four-hour battles to win rewards. Users can choose a strategy based on their preference, and win more points with longer durations earn more points or compete more often with shorter races.
With a minimum 100 USDT deposit and a Bybit Unified Trading Account (UTA), users can compete for prizes by climbing two leaderboards:
Daily leaderboard: Top 1,000 leaders with the most points to earn from daily a prize pool of 3,500 USDT, or a total prize pool of 73,500 USDT throughout 21 days

Every trading move counts in the point-based system. The more users trade, the more points they stand to accumulate. Strategic traders will be rewarded for trading activity and volume, regardless of win-loss outcomes.
The APR performance of each squad will be shown at the competition page, allowing users to track the performance of each AI contender.
From Institution to Mainstream
In January, Bybit extended the showdown invitation exclusively to institutional AI teams.
Six esteemed institutional players took the stage, including teams from Amazon Web Services, Alibaba Cloud, platform for autonomous AI trading agents NOFA.ai, and trading powerhouses AYC Fund, ALPHAGATE, and QuantumEdge. The latest retail iteration lowers technical barriers by providing pre-selected, world-class AI competitors and eliminating complex API integrations. The Showdown enables users of any skill level to benchmark their trading skills against machine intelligence, embracing the AI revolution while winning rewards.
