Zoomex, a global cryptocurrency exchange specializing in derivatives trading, successfully concluded its official side event, "Zoomex Summer Bay Party: Trade the Tide," on August 20 during Coinfest Asia 2026. The event took place at the Tropical Temptation Beach Club in Bali, Indonesia, and was part of the exchange's broader engagement as a Gold Sponsor at the conference, which ran from August 20 to 21 at Melasti Beach.
The side event was designed to foster direct interaction between Zoomex and key stakeholders from Indonesia and the wider Southeast Asian region, including traders, builders, content creators, investors, and community members. By hosting a dedicated gathering alongside its main conference presence, Zoomex aimed to bridge formal industry discussions with informal community networking.
Roundtable: Trust, Speed, and SEA Adoption
The centerpiece of the event was a mini roundtable titled "Trading the Next Tide: Trust, Speed and the Next Wave of SEA Adoption." Moderated by Christian (@christianvctrs), the panel featured Fernando Lillo, Marketing Director at Zoomex, alongside Indonesian crypto educator Michael Wyann (@itsmikewyann) and trader Andy Tjoeng (@kyojindee). The discussion focused on three critical operational questions: how platforms build user trust through transparent rules and clear communication, how trading speed integrates with execution stability and ease of use, and how platforms can better serve Southeast Asian users through localized education and partnerships.
Fernando Lillo emphasized the value of direct feedback from the community, stating, "Coinfest Asia allows us to hear direct, authentic feedback from traders, builders, and regional communities regarding their product experiences. While market conditions constantly evolve, user expectations remain clear: operations should be simpler, account and balance details should be transparent, and users deserve fair access to their earnings." This aligns with Zoomex's current brand proposition: Easy to Use, Transparent Balance, and Fair Access to Your Earnings.
Cultural and Sports Elements Enhance Experience
The event opened with a traditional Indonesian Water Drum performance, blending water elements with tech-inspired visuals, followed by a Balinese fire dance, a group toast, and a DJ After Party. These cultural showcases were complemented by a special video message from Emiliano Martínez, Zoomex's Global Brand Ambassador and Argentine goalkeeper, who greeted attendees. The subsequent "Pass-the-Flag" interactive challenge offered participants the chance to win signed footballs from Martínez and exclusive merchandise from the TGR Haas F1 Team, of which Zoomex is the Official Cryptocurrency Exchange Partner.
The interactive session translated Formula 1's attributes—speed, precision, and team execution—alongside a goalkeeper's judgment and reflexes into an engaging offline brand experience. This approach underscored Zoomex's strategy of leveraging elite sports partnerships to build a refined brand image.
Strategic Focus on Regional Engagement
Zoomex emphasized that its participation in Coinfest Asia 2026 was not solely about brand visibility but about gaining firsthand insights into the practical needs of regional users, communities, and partners. The exchange views offline gatherings as a key channel for regional market engagement, and plans to maintain active dialogues with Southeast Asian users and industry partners around derivative trading experiences, intelligent tools, transparent rules, and broader market access.
Founded in 2021, Zoomex serves over 3 million users across 35+ countries and regions, offering access to 700+ trading pairs. The platform holds registrations and licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including the US MSB, Canada MSB, US NFA, and Australia AUSTRAC, and has completed security audits by Hacken.
