Last month in June, Xapo Bank delivered a one-two punch of presence across Money20/20 Europe and BTC Prague, engaging the fintech and Bitcoin ecosystems with strategic activations, smart conversations, and focused community-building.
We started strong in Amsterdam and finished even stronger in Prague - each event offering a unique chance to meet the minds shaping the future of money.
Setting the stage at Money20/20 Europe
Held in Amsterdam from 3–5 June, Money20/20 Europe welcomed over 8,500 leaders across finance, fintech, and policy. Xapo Bank stood shoulder to shoulder with major institutions like JP Morgan and Stripe, hosting guests in a premium branded balcony and running private product workshops throughout the three-day conference.
But the real spark came from our side event - All-In on Bitcoin at All Out Amsterdam - the only Bitcoin-native gathering of the week. With DJ Chuckie (a Tomorrowland regular), branded cocktails, and 140+ attendees, it drew interest from everyone from Dutch exchanges to UK regulators.
Highlights included:
Joey Garcia, our Chief Digital Asset & Legal Officer, joining a fascinating panel on regulation featuring OKX and others.
Product workshop series featured in the official conference app, including invite-only sessions on Corporate Banking, Retail Products, and Beneficiaries - showcasing our technical expertise to selected audiences.
Participation in exclusive government roundtables post-event.
Doubling down in Prague
Fresh off Amsterdam, we brought that momentum to BTC Prague, 19–21 June - Europe’s largest Bitcoin-only conference.
Rather than a conventional booth, we focused on branded touchpoints: 6,000 wristbands, three coffee stations, and 12,500 direct interactions across three days. Our Product Manager Piotr Bedkowski’s two talks on Bitcoin custody and P2P access drew engaged audiences, while our team fielded in-depth questions on security, licensing, and full-reserve practices.
Our Bitcoin & Brews event, co-hosted with Rootstock and Rootstock Collective, brought together 200+ attendees for an evening of conversation, craft beer, and community at one of Prague’s most crypto-forward venues.
What we learned across both events
Reputation compounds: Amsterdam strengthened our relationship with global decision-makers; Prague deepened our relationships with the hardcore Bitcoin community. Together, the events reinforced Xapo Bank’s role as a trusted, compliant player in both worlds.
Tech leads the trust-building: Across both events, 80% of our best conversations were driven by product and engineering experts, not sales - highlighting the importance of expertise-led engagement.
Security remains the central concern: From counterfeit wallets to seed-phrase loss, attendees wanted practical answers. Our stance on full-reserve, regulated custody struck a chord - especially with those disillusioned by unregulated alternatives.
Regulation is top of mind: From MiCA to self-custody questions, attendees at both events wanted confidence in the structure behind their digital asset providers. Our message of regulated, full-reserve banking landed well.
What’s next?
Europe in June showed us that the future of money is being built in moments of real conversation. Whether with fintech founders or Bitcoin OGs, the appetite for secure, smart digital banking is growing, and Xapo Bank is proud to be in the room where those conversations are happening.
