The WEEX AI Trading Hackathon Dubai offline opening ceremony concluded successfully from 00:00 to 04:00 Beijing time on January 31st. This event, connecting global developers and quantitative trading teams, was conducted simultaneously online and offline, attracting over 150,000 views worldwide , marking a new stage of "globalization" for this year's AI trading hackathon.
150,000 people witnessed the same event simultaneously, and AI trading stepped into the spotlight.
Unlike traditional technology competitions, this Dubai opening ceremony was presented for the first time in a "live stage + global live stream" format. Participating teams, industry organizations, and representatives from the technology community from different countries gathered on-site, while online viewers participated in real-time interaction across time zones, transforming what was originally an algorithm competition for developers into an open competition for the general public.
At the event, WEEX COO Andrew interacted with participants and a global audience, encouraging the teams. He stated that AI trading is moving from the laboratory to the real market, and WEEX hopes to use hackathons to build a verifiable, comparable, and evolving open platform for developers, allowing truly practical strategies to be seen.
The Alpha team wins the WEEX AI Trading Hackathon Dubai Championship
At the opening ceremony, the interim champion of the Dubai qualifying round was officially announced – Team 【The Alpha】 stood out with their stable strategic performance and excellent risk control capabilities. The judging panel believed that the team demonstrated strong consistency and discipline in the face of fluctuations across multiple scenarios, setting an important benchmark for the subsequent stages of the competition.
This result also reaffirms the core logic of this competition:
The competition is not about short-term bursts, but about understanding market structure and long-term stable output.
From online to offline, WEEX is building an AI trading arena.
Since the start of the preliminary rounds, the WEEX AI Trading Hackathon has attracted a large number of quantitative developers and AI teams. Through a unified environment and open rules, the competition allows different models to be tested in real market conditions, and also provides the industry with a rare window for observation.
The successful opening ceremony in Dubai is considered a significant milestone for this year's hackathon—it is not just an event, but a symbol of the AI trading ecosystem moving from the "world of code" to the "public stage."
Dubai is just the beginning.
