WEEX Crypto Pizza Day: A Pizza Day Celebration Like No Other

May 22, 2010 – programmer Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for pizza (now worth $774,880,000 by the time of writing), marking the first bitcoin transaction for real-world goods. Overnight, Bitcoin went from digital code to real value. That single slice gave Bitcoin its first price and started an entire industry.

WEEX is bringing this epic milestone to life in Dubai. On May 21, 19:00-23:00 UTC+4, our WEEX Dubai Studio opens for an exclusive Crypto Pizza Night – a pizza day celebration where crypto elites, KOLs, and traders gather. WEEX, a trusted global exchange since 2018 with over 6.2 million users, leads the way. We're not just hosting a party – we're honoring the moment crypto became real.

Stronger Together: Meet Our Partners

Great events need great partners. WEEX is proud to co-host this event with INPUT Global, a top communications agency for fintech, crypto, and AI. Their expertise in earning market legitimacy and founder visibility ensures this event delivers real impact, not just hype.
