BYDFi Takes Warsaw: Sponsoring Next Block Expo, Dropping Mystery Boxes & Prepping a Six-Year Rager

Global crypto exchange BYDFi is planting its flag in Warsaw, signing on as a sponsor for Next Block Expo 2026, hitting Poland's capital March 24-25. The expo's sixth iteration, now upgraded to a bigger venue, is promising a sea of thousands of degens, over 140 speakers, and the usual parade of Web3 brands, builders, VC suits, and the occasional regulator trying to keep up.

The two-day agenda is a classic crypto buffet, serving up everything from DeFi and RWAs to AI, gaming, and the ritual of startup fundraising. Key features include a dedicated schmooze zone, investor speed-dating that’s basically Tinder for cap tables, a pitch arena, and a Web3 gaming zone. Speakers like Animoca's Robby Yung, Solana Foundation's Marouane Essaidi, and Polish MP Sławomir Mentzen highlight the event's chaotic blend of market alpha, policy talk, and product shilling.

The BYDFi squad will be on the ground, working the expo floor to chat, swap war stories, and dive into the endless debates about trading infra and UX. Their booth will be the spot for a mystery blind-box giveaway, stuffed with limited-edition Newcastle United co-branded merch – a direct play from their partnership playbook that's already pulling in the football and crypto crossover crowd.

For the exchange, this expo is prime real estate to flex its "built for reliability" branding. In a market where "long-term" often means until the next bull run, BYDFi is betting that trust is built on clear comms, consistent standards, and not treating users like exit liquidity. CEO Michael framed it like a true builder: "Next Block Expo gathers the conversations that actually matter – infrastructure, regulation, product design, and how people navigate this circus. For us, it's a key chance to listen, connect, and keep refining a trading experience built to last, not just to pump."

The Warsaw gig also sets the stage for a bigger celebration: kicking off April 1, BYDFi will mark its 6th anniversary with a full month of community campaigns, limited-time rewards, and exclusive X-based activations. New sign-ups can expect some extra airdrop-hopium during the birthday season, with registration live at https://www.bydfi.com/en/register.

Launched in the halcyon days of 2020, BYDFi operates a hybrid model, mashing up a CEX with an integrated on-chain trading module. It holds the exclusive title of Newcastle United's official crypto partner and even snagged a spot on Forbes' list of Best Crypto Exchanges in Canada for 2026. The platform offers low-fee spot and perps, copy-trading, and automated bots, aiming to serve both greenhorn normies and grizzled veterans with what it calls a "confident, world-class" experience.
