StarTrader has announced a global NBA-themed trading competition, where participants register, select one of 30 team options, and compete for performance-based rewards including NBA prizes and cash.
StarTrader has introduced the STAR Trading League, an NBA-inspired global trading tournament in which participants register, choose from 30 NBA-themed teams, and compete across multiple stages. According to the broker, the competition runs from June 1 to July 31, 2026, requires a minimum cumulative deposit of USD 500 and trading volume of USD 1,000,000, and uses a multi-stage elimination format based on individual profit rates, with prizes such as NBA game tickets, basketball merchandise, NBA Store vouchers, and a USD 10,000 cash prize awarded to the winning team's top traders.
To join the STARTRADER NBA-themed trading competition, register through the STARTRADER client portal or mobile app during the registration period. Participants must select one of 30 NBA-themed teams (selection cannot be changed), deposit at least USD 500, and achieve a minimum trading volume of USD 1,000,000 cumulatively. Advancement through the competition is based on profit rates, with top traders from each team moving on to later stages. For full details and to sign up, visit the official sign-up link.
