BYDFi, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has taken a significant step into the Solana ecosystem by sponsoring the Solana Accelerate APAC event during the Consensus Hong Kong 2026 conference. The event, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, served as a major gathering for founders, institutional players, policymakers, and developers, highlighting Hong Kong's status as a key Web3 hub in the Asia-Pacific region.
The exchange's participation marked its "first, deeper step into Solana-focused programming and community dialogue." At the event, the BYDFi team engaged with attendees, showcased its products, and distributed co-branded merchandise with its partner, Newcastle United Football Club. The booth reportedly saw strong foot traffic throughout the day.
Central to BYDFi's presentation was its "CEX + DEX dual-engine" approach, designed to offer users a connected experience combining centralized liquidity with on-chain discovery. The company highlighted its on-chain trading engine, MoonX, which supports the Solana network and is built for speed and execution efficiency in fast-moving markets.
In parallel, BYDFi emphasized its reliability measures to build long-term trust, including maintaining over a 1:1 Proof of Reserves with public reporting, an 800 BTC Protection Fund, and 24/7 multilingual customer support.
Michael, Co-Founder and CEO of BYDFi, stated: "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." He added that the company aims to strengthen its infrastructure and support as its engagement with the Solana ecosystem deepens.
The discussions at the event also touched upon the ongoing market focus on crypto regulation and licensing within Hong Kong's clear regulatory frameworks.
