Official Launch Statement by Tradants GmbH

Ludwigsburg, Germany, 1st Aug 2025 – Tradants GmbH, a reputation for transparency-driven trading tournaments, has officially announced the first officially confirmed participants of the World Series of Trading (WSOT) 2025. The tournament, scheduled to run from 22nd September to 19th December, is set to analyze trading ability in a live, regulatory environment with real capital.

Open-to-Public Global Contest

WSOT is an open-to-the-public competition that attracts a diverse group of seasoned traders, ranging from hedge fund professionals to institutional veterans and high-performing trading specialists. The competition is designed to give an equal chance to participants to demonstrate their abilities across asset classes.

Verified Europe-Based Participants

A number of Europe-based professional traders and fund managers are among the first verified participants in the 2025 World Series of Trading. The competition is available to qualified traders globally, but only those accounts funded with real capital through regulated brokers are eligible. The requirement ensures that all results of trading constitute genuine market exposure and are maintained entirely auditable within the event’s standardized structure. With transparency and consistency in mind, WSOT offers a disciplined platform for traders to compare their performance against industry peers.
