Bitcoin Asia, Up Close: How Prepaid2Coin Turned Conversations into a Regional Growth Plan
The best conferences do more than fill calendars. They sharpen strategy, open doors, and convert ideas into actions. At Bitcoin Asia, Prepaid2Coin did exactly that. Across meetings with government, conversations with founders and investors, and targeted media, we validated our model and mapped a path to scale in Asia while staying focused on what we do best. We turn prepaid and retail gift cards into Bitcoin quickly and compliantly.
Our team met with representatives of the Hong Kong government to discuss potential investment and visibility with both local and visiting international investors. The feedback was clear. The model is compelling, the deck communicates the opportunity, and further steps will track to data driven market sizing. One early corridor stands out. Hong Kong’s sizable Filipino community relies on remittances, which aligns with our product strengths. Card value in, instant Bitcoin out, and funds move to any wallet with speed and transparency.
Even if Hong Kong’s direct market size proves limited, officials encouraged a structure that uses Hong Kong as a regional hub. This would let Prepaid2Coin serve users in Thailand and Vietnam where open loop gift cards are common and many consumers rely on Bitcoin ATMs as their primary access to digital assets. Our pricing and instant payout can compare favorably to ATM routes, which creates a practical advantage for users and partners.
The conference reinforced demand for closed loop acceptance, including high velocity brands such as Steam. Adding closed loop support expands the total addressable market beyond Visa and Mastercard gift cards and signals product adaptability. Many peers struggle with closed loop integrations. Building this capacity creates lasting differentiation for B2C users and for bulk traders who manage mixed inventories.
We connected with industry leaders including Andrew Webley, Aidan Bishop, and Malcolm Gonsalves, and completed three media interviews on our mission and the long term role of Bitcoin. The excitement we saw on site matters. Visibility fuels hiring, partnerships, and investor confidence, and strong photos and clips help both B2B and consumer storytelling in the weeks ahead.
Conference time is only as good as the pipeline it creates. One investor expressed strong interest, and we are working to convert that interest into a formal commitment with the support of our advisor network. In fundraising, one lead investor can catalyze the rest of the round, so we treat this as a priority follow up.
We also spoke with two smaller Bitcoin mining companies that expect production costs below fifty thousand dollars per coin. Direct sourcing can reduce cost of goods sold, diversify away from exchange only purchases, and make our supply chain more resilient. Margin matters in our category, and resilient inputs help us preserve user value while we scale.
The takeaways are simple and actionable. Government engagement provides credibility. A Hong Kong hub can unlock Southeast Asia. Closed loop acceptance expands market reach. Media and networking amplify brand equity. Investor interest is real, and supplier conversations can improve unit economics. Most importantly, we expect the InComm integration to complete before November 1. This is a milestone that expands coverage of hard to use cards and positions Prepaid2Coin to lead gift card to Bitcoin conversions through the holiday season.
If you operate a gift card marketplace, manage Blackhawk or InComm inventory, or serve remittance users who need faster, bank independent options, we would like to talk. Prepaid2Coin turns stored value into digital value in minutes, with KYC, OFAC screening, and audit ready reporting that your finance and compliance teams will appreciate.
