Alpha Evenings – The Inception
Date: September 10, 2025
Time: 19:00
Location: Bybit EU Office, Symphony Offices, Gustav Mahlerplein 10, Amsterdam
On September 10 we hosted Alpha Evenings – The Inception in Amsterdam. This initiative, set up by Amsterdam Investment Club, focused on bridging the gap between talent in the digital assets space. The crypto knowledge partner for this event was the Student Blockchain Association Network of the Netherlands (SBAN).
During the event, Meyade Curfs – Lead Regional Sales Executive at Bybit – walked us through what made them successful in the Netherlands, Bybit's EU plans & strategy, and covered their latest product.
Merlijne Keuss – Business Development Manager at Quantoz guided us through how they changed the game in global money flows and payments.
Their session, Stablecoin Payments looked at how money flows across borders. A single international payment can pass through banks, FX desks, compliance checks, local clearing, and global messaging. This system was built to manage risk in a world without real-time computation or transparency. Today those limits no longer exist, and stablecoins represent the next step in payment infrastructure.
The sessions introduced Quantoz and explored the stablecoin payment world: faster, cheaper, and more programmable. It highlighted what Quantoz contributes with its NEXUS platform, which connects internal ledgers with blockchain, and explained Quantoz's stablecoins (EURQ, EURD, and USDQ), as well as the difference between e-money and e-money tokens.
Alpha Evenings x Treasury – Bitcoin Event
Date: November 6, 2025
Time: 19:00
Location: Bybit EU Office, Symphony Offices, Gustav Mahlerplein 10, Amsterdam
We wanted to make a post about our event but almost forgot about it. Why? Because our community already shared so much that we didn't even need to!
This shows that when you bring in good speakers and quality, marketing goes automatic, it is organic. And we are grateful to see the amazing community we are building.
The Alpha Evenings x Treasury event at Bybit NL in Amsterdam brought together some of the key voices shaping Bitcoin's future in Europe.
Khing Oei (CEO and Founder of Treasury) explained how Bitcoin Treasury Companies (BTCs) could become an institutional pathway to real Bitcoin exposure, raising capital through equity and debt, accumulating BTC, and experimenting with responsible ways of generating Bitcoin-yield.
This sparked debate: while Bitcoin maximalists question yield models, the discussion highlighted that thoughtful, transparent innovation still has space here.
Khing's wonderful story was followed by a panel with Pieter Voogt (The Dutch Bitcoin Embassy), Gareth Jenkinson (Cointelegraph), and Jos Lazet (Blockrise), who dug into deeper structural issues such as miner centralization, Knots vs Core, and how BTCs might help strengthen Bitcoin's economic and network foundations.
Beyond the talks, the evening was a reminder of why in-person communities matter: real conversations, shared curiosity, and new collaborations, whether around Bitcoin adoption, user off-ramps, or what's being built next.
The next few years will be formative for Bitcoin in Europe. BTCs are navigating a landscape full of innovation, skepticism, and possibility. The open question: who builds the future, and who endures?
Thanks a lot to all the attendants, incredible speakers, and Bybit EU for making this possible. We look forward to the next one! 🌙
