  "account": "Victoria, Seychelles, September 21, 2026 — Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency derivatives trading platform, has now opened regular registration for the ZWTC 2026 Squad Competition, transitioning it from the initial launch phase to the squad formation stage. Traders can now choose and join participating squads until October 3, 2026, at 10:00 UTC. The official competition begins on September 21 at 10:00 UTC and continues until October 11 at 10:00 UTC.\n\nIn addition to the prize pool of up to 2,500,000 USDT, the competition is divided into three categories based on three distinct rankings: Squad Profit Rate (up to 1,500,000 USDT), Squad Trading Volume (up to 700,000 USDT), and Squad Popularity (up to 300,000 USDT). These categories allow squads to compete through various methods: trading results, sustained eligible trading activity, and the ability to build an active community around the competition.\n\nThe Squad Profit Rate ranking emphasizes trading performance, while the Squad Trading Volume ranking rewards teams with consistent eligible trading activity. The Squad Popularity category recognises the ability of captains and members to cultivate support and engagement around their teams. By separating these categories, ZWTC 2026 allows squads to distinguish themselves through performance, activity, or community reach.\n\nZoomex Marketing Director Fernando Lillo explained, \"A strong trading squad is not built around one account or one result. It requires leadership, active members, and a structure that keeps the team engaged throughout the competition.\" Captains play a crucial role in the event, organizing teams, maintaining activity, and helping members understand the competition schedule. Captains may receive up to 20% of their squad's competition prize, with rewards reaching up to 125,000 USDT for the highest-ranking squads.\n\nWhile captains are responsible for the team's success, regular registration remains open after the official start of the competition, allowing eligible users to join participating squads until October 3. The Squad Competition features key dates, including captain registration closing on September 21 at 10:00 UTC, regular squad registration from September 17 to October 3 at 10:00 UTC, and the official competition from September 21 to October 11 at 10:00 UTC, all times in UTC.",
