DUBAI, UAE, May 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, commemorated Bitcoin Pizza Day 2026 across the UAE and Morocco with the region's crypto community and institutional partners, reflecting the company's commitment to growing with and contributing to MENA's digital asset ecosystem.
From May 21 to 22, Bybit's MENA team made physical pizza deliveries across Dubai's financial centers, including the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). Surprising key partners in their offices, Bybit took the opportunity to celebrate with Dubai's crypto builders, innovators, and visionaries. Slices and tales were shared in a tribute to the most expensive dough in BTC history, when an early holder paid 10,000 BTC for a pizza.
"We wanted to step away from the screen and connect with the people and institutions we work with every day," said Derek Dai, Head of Bybit MENA. "Bitcoin Pizza Day has evolved from a meme to a reminder to the digital asset community of the value in the human touch. For our Bybit teams in the UAE and Morocco, it was about recognizing that real relationships and trust are the foundation of everything we're building in this region."
