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.

Sri Lanka may give the world another refreshing beverage. Made of an original recipe, it’s brewed from some of the country’s most iconic spices, that could, in time, match the country’s best-known export, tea, thanks to the vision of the enterprising young marketing professional, Sohan Jayasena and his company mild earth
‘Wild Mist Water’ unveiled at an appropriately styled ‘quiet reveal’ in Colombo 7 a few weeks back is, in its creator Sohan Jayasena’s words, “a luxury wellness experience inspired by Sri Lanka’s botanical heritage.”
Available initially in four variants, the Wild Mist Water mixes come in canisters, and their contents must be brewed just as tea is, with each canister containing a thoughtfully curated mix of local spices that have been associated for generations with physical and mental wellbeing.
The spices that go into the mix are drawn entirely from Sri Lanka’s botanical repertoire, with each blend combining coriander seeds with carefully balanced accents of nigella, cloves, cinnamon, rosemary and lemongrass. The result is a subtle, refined infusion designed not to overwhelm the palate, but to offer a calming aroma, a smooth mouthfeel and a sense of grounding that unfolds slowly with each sip, giving its patrons a time to pause a moment of calm that is much needed in a world that never pauses or stops.
At the heart of the brand is its founder’s belief that Sri Lanka’s wellness heritage does not need exaggeration or nostalgia to be relevant to modern life, only thoughtful reinterpretation.
Araliya Group of Companies has further strengthened its logistics and transportation capabilities with the acquisition of 10 brand-new TATA LPK 1618 trucks from Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO), one of Sri Lanka’s leading automobile distributors.
This strategic investment expands the Group’s existing fleet to over 200 vehicles, reinforcing its ability to support large-scale operations across multiple sectors. The newly added trucks are expected to enhance efficiency, reliability, and operational capacity within Araliya’s supply chain and distribution network.
DIMO’s comprehensive after-sales service, technical expertise, and long-standing reputation for quality were key factors behind the Group’s decision. The collaboration highlights Araliya Group’s continued commitment to operational excellence and sustainable growth, while reaffirming DIMO’s position as a trusted partner for large-scale commercial transport solutions in Sri Lanka.
In a groundbreaking transaction that marks Sri Lanka’s largest single vehicle investment to date, DIMO Lanka has successfully completed the delivery of 50 LPT 1615 TATA commercial trucks to Rathna Rice Pvt Ltd, setting a new benchmark for fleet acquisitions in the country.
This substantial growth demonstrated by the local business sector represents an economically significant milestone for Sri Lanka’s commercial vehicle industry.
The deal underscores the confidence and expansion capabilities of Sri Lankan enterprises, highlighting the continued strength of the domestic business community.
