After holding its pilot cup last month, Crypto Esports League PH is set to roll out what it describes as the “Philippines’ first live crypto trading esports event” on December 17, 2025 at Ayala Malls The 30th in Pasig City.
Crypto Esports League PH Grand Cup
The Grand Cup 2025 is scheduled from 3:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Organizers expect 36 traders and around 150 to 200 attendees for the upcoming competition.
According to them, the Grand Cup 2025 will feature real-time trading battles displayed on a large screen, with participants including Marvin Favis, Giu Comia, Jared Dillinger, and John Sedano.
The event will offer a total prize pool of $2,000 USDT (around ₱118,000). The champion will take home $1,000 USDT (around ₱59,000), and each of the four other top finishers will receive $250 USDT (approximately ₱15,000).
“With crypto adoption rising in the Philippines, the Grand Cup creates a new intersection of finance, gaming culture, and entertainment, providing an accessible entry point for the public to understand real trading dynamics.

Previous Pilot Cup
The Crypto Esports League PH held its inaugural Pilot Cup on November 8 at House of Prime in Bacoor, Cavite, introducing a cryptocurrency trading competition presented in an esports format. Fifteen participants competed across three live trading rounds spanning about four hours, with spectators tracking real-time charts and leaderboard updates.
Organizers said roughly 50 attendees watched as traders were evaluated on strategy and decision-making. The top three performers; Jayson “Amaranth” Benedicto, CJ “Alamiz” Oliquino, and Raymond “Bigboss” Coronel all received USDC prizes.
Event representatives noted that the competition used a decentralized exchange and simulated accounts, stressing that no real funds or gambling elements were involved. They said the contest was skill-based and compliant with Philippine regulations.
Trading as an Esports
Prior to this event, South Korea hosted Perp-DEX Day 2025 at SJ Kunsthalle in Gangnam during Korea Blockchain Week last September. It introduced an esports-style format for perpetual decentralized exchange (perp-DEX) trading.
- The one-day event featured live trading competitions, real-time leaderboards, and audience participation, organized by ReboundX in partnership with UmbrellaX DAO.
