On August 22-23, 2024, Coinfest Asia was held in Bali, Indonesia, bringing together a diverse community of crypto, Web3, and blockchain enthusiasts. This annual festival has become a key event for industry leaders, innovators, and key opinion leaders (KOLs) to engage, network, and discuss the future of digital assets in a casual and collaborative environment.

One of the standout sponsors of Coinfest Asia 2024 was OKX, a leading global Web3 company. OKX went all out with exclusive event perks, starting with the distribution of limited-edition OKX-branded merchandise like t-shirts and tote bags. Attendees could score these items by minting a specially designed NFT through the OKX Wallet, adding a unique digital touch to their event experience.

OKX also hosted a lunch gathering that brought together Southeast Asia’s most influential KOLs and community leaders. The event saw the presence of prominent figures like Chris Rodil (Prof Toff), Coach Miranda Miner, CryptoPareh’s Gerry Go, and Giu Comia, sparking insightful discussions within the region's crypto ecosystem.

And the excitement didn't stop there. 

OKX certainly knew how to make a lasting impression on attendees. Coinfest’s tropical Bali setting meant hot and humid weather, leaving participants craving something cool. OKX delivered with a creative twist by offering free gelato at the event’s ‘Gelato Cave.’ All attendees had to do was follow OKX Wallet on social media, snap a picture with the OKX Wallet branding, and tag #OKXWallet and #OKXCoinFest. Who wouldn’t want free gelato right?

Coinfest Asia 2024 featured an impressive lineup of discussions, including a panel on the first day titled "Risk vs Reward: Institutions & Digital Assets." One of the key speakers was Jamie Kennedy, General Manager of OKX’s Australia entity, who brought valuable insights from one of the world’s leading Web3 companies. Joining him were other prominent voices such as Saad Ahmed, Head of APAC at Gemini, Raks Sondhi, Chief Operating Officer of Upbit, and Mohd Kifa, Head of Compliance at Flipster. Moderated by Yos Ginting, a founding member of the Indonesia Blockchain Association, the panel explored the evolving regulatory landscape and institutional strategies around digital assets, providing participants with a deeper understanding of these crucial topics.

Events like Coinfest Asia 2024 strengthen the Web3 community by blending innovation, networking, and collaboration. As one of the most prominent names in Web3, OKX continues to lead by example, contributing to the growth and excitement surrounding Coinfest Asia and the broader crypto industry.
