As the 2026 World Cup approaches, two financial platforms have unveiled competitions that blend trading and predictions with the global tournament, offering participants a chance to win substantial prizes.
Leveraged, a proprietary trading firm, announced the Leveraged Cup on June 16. Running from June 17 to 30, the competition challenges traders to achieve the highest percentage return using Sprint accounts, which are designed for rapid market moves. The overall winner receives an all-expenses-paid Champions Package valued at $20,000 for the World Football Final in New York in July—including two tickets, flights, and accommodations. Daily $200 prizes will also be distributed to winners, enabling them to host friends for the final. The top four traders will compete in a live-streamed Sprint 2 Cash finale, trading with identical account sizes to ensure fairness. Tal Fromchenko, Founder of Leveraged, said, “The best traders, like the best athletes, succeed because of their ambition, discipline, decision-making, and execution under pressure. The Leveraged Cup celebrates those qualities.” Eligibility requires purchasing a Sprint account with a trading range of $10,000 to $100,000, and participants can buy multiple accounts to use their highest payout percentage as their score. Referral bonuses offer a free Sprint account for every two new referred users.
Tria, a self-custodial neofinance platform, launched Tria FC on the same day. Running from June 16 through July 19, the in-app competition allows users to predict match outcomes, earn bonus Tria Points, and climb a live leaderboard for a share of a $15,000 prize pool distributed across three categories: overall leaderboard, most correct predictions, and social sharing. Rewards are tied to both prediction accuracy and real financial activity on the platform—such as card spending, trading, and referrals—with a minimum points threshold required for top prizes. Co-Founder Vijit Katta explained, “We saw an opportunity to make the event part of the product itself. Tria FC rewards users for engaging with the tournament while participating in the financial ecosystem they’re already using every day.” The competition runs alongside Tria’s Season 3 rewards program, which includes cashback, Mystery Boxes, and membership tiers.
Both initiatives leverage the massive global audience of the World Cup to drive engagement with their respective platforms, emphasizing performance-based competition and real financial activity.
