On January 31, 00:00–04:00 (Beijing Time), the WEEX AI Trading Hackathon Dubai Offline Opening Ceremony successfully concluded. This event, which connected global developers and quantitative teams, unfolded through a combination of online live streaming and offline stage activities. The global viewership exceeded 150,000, marking the official entry of this AI Trading Hackathon into a "global stage" phase.

150,000 People Witness Together as AI Trading Steps into the Spotlight

Unlike traditional technical competitions, the Dubai opening ceremony was presented for the first time in the form of "offline stage + global live broadcast." Participating teams from different countries, industry organizations, and technical community representatives gathered on-site, while online audiences across time zones actively participated in real-time interaction. This transformed an algorithm competition originally belonging to the developer circle into an open competition for the general public.

At the event venue, WEEX COO Andrew interacted with participating teams and global audiences to show support. He stated that AI trading is moving from the laboratory to the real market, and WEEX hopes that through the form of hackathons, it can provide developers with a verifiable, comparable, and growing open platform, allowing truly battle-tested strategies to be seen.

Team 【The Alpha】 Wins WEEX AI Trading Hackathon Dubai Leg Championship

During the opening ceremony, the Dubai leg's interim champion of this edition's qualifiers was officially announced—Team 【The Alpha】 stood out with a stable strategy performance and outstanding risk control capabilities. The panel of judges believed that the team demonstrated strong consistency and execution discipline under multiple scenario fluctuations, setting an important benchmark for the subsequent competition.

This result once again confirms the core logic of this event:

It's 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 qualifying rounds, the WEEX AI Trading Hackathon has attracted a large number of quantitative developers and AI teams to participate. Through a unified environment and public rules, the event allows different models to be tested in real market conditions, providing the industry with a rare observation window.

The successful hosting of the Dubai Opening Ceremony is seen as a significant milestone for this hackathon—it is not just an event, but also a symbol of the AI trading ecosystem's transition from the "code world" to the "public stage."
