BYDFi Sponsors Solana Accelerate APAC at Consensus Hong Kong 2026

The convergence of Solana Accelerate APAC with the broader Consensus Hong Kong conference underscored the city’s established position as a regional meeting point for blockchain innovation. The gathering attracted a diverse mix of founders, institutional investors, policymakers, and developers, facilitating dialogue on the future of internet capital markets and onchain innovation. A recurring theme throughout the event was the market’s focus on the development of crypto regulation and licensing frameworks in Hong Kong, a jurisdiction noted for its clear guidelines and active market participation.

For BYDFi, participation marked a significant first step into dedicated Solana-focused programming. The exchange maintained an active booth with strong foot traffic throughout the day, where its team engaged with attendees, discussed product offerings, and distributed limited co-branded merchandise with Newcastle United, reflecting its ongoing partnership with the Premier League club. This presence was not merely promotional but represented a deliberate effort to listen to Solana-native users and teams, positioning BYDFi at the heart of community-driven conversations about market infrastructure and product evolution.

Central to BYDFi’s message at the event was its ‘CEX + DEX dual-engine’ model, designed to bridge the gap between centralized liquidity and onchain discovery. The company detailed how this approach provides users with a connected experience across different trading venues and workflows. A key component highlighted was MoonX, BYDFi’s onchain trading engine that supports the Solana blockchain. MoonX is engineered to help users track and navigate fast-moving onchain markets with an emphasis on speed, signal clarity, and execution efficiency.

Alongside its technological offerings, BYDFi placed a strong emphasis on the reliability foundations it believes are crucial for fostering long-term trust in volatile crypto markets. The exchange publicly outlined its operational safeguards, which include maintaining over 1:1 Proof of Reserves with periodic public reporting and an 800 BTC Protection Fund. To ensure user support, BYDFi also promotes its 24/7 multilingual customer service, which promises timely responses across official channels, including social media. These features are presented as pillars of a secure and responsive trading environment.

Michael, Co-Founder and CEO of BYDFi, articulated the strategic rationale behind the sponsorship, stating, ‘Solana Accelerate APAC creates the right setting for practical conversations between builders, market participants, and policymakers. BYDFi joined to learn, connect, and contribute in a way that holds up over time.’ This statement underscores the exchange’s two primary objectives: to gain deeper insights into the needs of the Solana community and to explore collaboration opportunities that can enhance product coverage, user experience, and market access.

The move aligns with BYDFi’s broader growth trajectory. Founded in 2020, the exchange now serves over 1 million users across more than 190 countries and regions and was recently recognized by Forbes as one of the Best Crypto Exchanges in Canada for 2026. Its product suite spans intuitive, low-fee trading across Spot and Perpetual Contracts to Copy Trading and Automated Crypto Trading Bots. By engaging deeply with the Solana ecosystem at a major regional event, BYDFi is positioning itself not just as a trading platform, but as an integrated infrastructure partner committed to supporting the maturation of the broader crypto market through consistent, reliable engagement.
