Ceylon Cash Throws Sri Lanka’s First-Ever Crypto Halving Yacht Party for Crypto Whales

Published

on

Ceylon Cash, a leader in Sri Lankan cryptocurrency adoption and the force behind the Bitcoin Deepa Initiative is set to make history with the nation’s first and largest crypto-themed yacht party. Following the buzz of their 2022 Colombo meetup, Ceylon Cash is raising the bar with this event. The exclusive “Halving Yacht Party” will take place on April 19th, 2024, aboard the largest luxury boutique catamaran hotel – Ocean Diamond.

The 2022 meetup, attended by a select 50 users, employed a rigorous vouching system to ensure that only trusted members of the crypto community were present. The yacht party will operate similarly. Tickets will initially be available to a whitelisted group, with additional attendees carefully chosen from the same Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). This curated approach emphasizes Ceylon Cash’s commitment to fostering a secure and reputable environment for Sri Lanka’s crypto pioneers.

This groundbreaking event underscores the growing interest in cryptocurrency within Sri Lanka. Ceylon Cash has been instrumental in driving awareness and facilitating cryptocurrency transactions in the country. The Halving Yacht Party promises to be a landmark occasion for Sri Lanka’s crypto community, offering a unique platform for networking, insights, and celebration.

The timing of this inaugural party is significant. It coincides with the Bitcoin ‘halving’, a programmed event that cuts the rate of new Bitcoin creation in half. These halvings are rare and historically have ignited major growth cycles—the kind that transforms early adopters into industry titans. Sri Lanka, with its tech-savvy youth and appetite for innovation, is poised to benefit from this potential surge.

This event puts Sri Lanka on the crypto-world map, echoing the buzz found in established hubs like Singapore, Miami, or Dubai. Imagine breathtaking views, luxurious surroundings, and a guest list brimming with crypto enthusiasts and pioneers—a far cry from the traditional financial world. For the Yacht Party, they’ve meticulously vetted attendees, ensuring the guest list represents the absolute best-of-the-best within the Sri Lankan crypto scene.

“Sri Lanka has the potential to become an Asian Web 3.0 powerhouse,” affirms Mr. Nisal Chandrasekara. “With the right mindset and connections, there’s no limit to what we can achieve. This party is about demonstrating that potential—to the world and to ourselves.”

Ceylon Cash has proven that they understand what it takes to cultivate a crypto community from the ground up. Their Bitcoin Deepa initiative which is also funded by HRF, modeled after the groundbreaking work in El Salvador, is the catalyst Sri Lanka needed. Through education and practical support, they’re not just promoting crypto adoption, they’re changing mindsets. One workshop, one business at a time, they’re showing Sri Lankans the future of finance and the power it holds for them.

Chainlyze, the leading wallet profiler and on-chain intelligence service, is the main sponsor of this prestigious event. The platform is renowned for its real-time insights into smart money flows, enabling users to track transactions with precision and make informed trading decisions. Raashid Siddeeque, the founder of Chainlyze, highlights the significance of their services, stating, “Segmentation and profiling are crucial in understanding customer behavior. Chainlyze has supported this on a larger scale, offering insights that empower our clients to stay ahead of the curve.”

In a separate collaboration, Swiss Ceylon Gemology has been named the official gem and jewelry partner, bringing their expertise in Ceylon precious and semi-precious gemstones to ensure the event’s success.

Adding to the technological expertise, Perfectus Tec, a leading Web3 development firm, joins as the official development partner. Their innovative approach in leveraging blockchain technology positions them at the forefront of the Web3 revolution, providing robust solutions for a decentralized future.

Finally, if you’re passionate about crypto and believe Sri Lanka can be a force in the decentralized future, the Halving Yacht Party is where you need to be. This is where the deals get done, partnerships are forged, and the energy of the crypto revolution is most tangible. For those fortunate enough to step onto the Ocean Diamond; Sri Lanka’s first luxury yacht, it will be an unforgettable experience.
