Leveraged, a proprietary trading firm that positions itself as an enabler for traders worldwide, announced the launch of the 2026 Leveraged Cup, a competitive trading event scheduled to run from June 17 to June 30. The promoter says the overall champion will be awarded an all-expenses-paid Champions Package valued at $20,000 to attend the World Football Final in New York in July.
The competition is structured around Leveraged's Sprint accounts, which the company says are intended for traders who can take advantage of rapid market movements. Over a 15-day window, contestants will be ranked on leaderboard positions determined strictly by percentage payout in their Sprint accounts, not by nominal profit. Participants may purchase Sprint accounts with trading ranges between $10,000 and $100,000, and they may open multiple Sprint accounts; only a trader's highest payout percentage will count as their score.
Format and prizes
According to the competition outline, the four top-ranked traders on the overall leaderboard at the end of the two-week period will advance to a live, head-to-head Sprint 2 Cash competition. The final is to be a 90-minute trading session streamed live, with each finalist trading using identical account sizes to ensure parity. The trader who posts the highest percentage return during that session will be declared the 2026 Leveraged Cup Champion and awarded the Grand Prize Champion's Package, which includes two tickets to the world football final, flights, and accommodations.
The event will also distribute daily cash rewards: each day a $200 prize will go to that day's top performer, described by the company as an opportunity to "host friends for the match of a lifetime" and become a "Legendary host." Leveraged says a real-time leaderboard will track percentage gains throughout the contest.
Entry conditions and additional incentives
Eligibility for the Leveraged Cup requires traders to purchase Sprint accounts in the stated $10,000 to $100,000 range. The company permits traders to operate multiple Sprint accounts during the competition but will use the highest payout percentage from any single account as the participant's official score. Leveraged frames percentage-based ranking as consistent with Get Leveraged's stated principle that trading talent should not be constrained by account size.
There is also a referral incentive: participants can receive a free Sprint account for every two users they refer who open Sprint accounts. To qualify for daily cash prizes and Final Four eligibility, entrants must follow @Get_Leveraged on X or Instagram, post a screenshot of their current Sprint account dashboard or leaderboard position with the hashtag #LeveragedCUP, and tag @get_leveraged.
"Trading and sport have more in common than meets the eye," said Tal Fromchenko, Founder of Leveraged. "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 and gives traders around the world the opportunity to showcase their skills on a global stage and get rewarded for that."
