LBank, a global cryptocurrency exchange, brought together traders, Web3 participants, and industry guests for its exclusive LBank Futures FIFA Cup & Checkmate Night during MERGE Madrid 2026. The gathering combined competitive gaming, crypto-themed activities, and informal networking, offering attendees an opportunity to connect beyond the traditional conference setting.
Held at Monty’s Restaurant in Madrid, the event featured a 16-player, single-elimination FIFA tournament, two open speed-chess tables, and a Bitcoin price prediction challenge. The evening brought together the competitive spirit of sports and strategy with the social energy of the local and international crypto community.
The FIFA tournament served as the centerpiece of the gathering, with players competing across two gaming stations through the round of 16, quarterfinals, and semifinals. As the competition progressed, guests gathered around the screens to follow the matches, culminating in a final played on the venue’s main screen. Short match formats and penalty shootouts added to the competitive tension, keeping both players and spectators engaged throughout the tournament.
Alongside the FIFA competition, two speed-chess tables remained open throughout the evening, operating on a casual king-of-the-table format. Guests could join matches between tournament rounds or challenge other attendees at their own pace. A Bitcoin-themed “Guess the Price” game added another interactive element, inviting participants to test their market insights for a chance to win exclusive prizes.
Beyond the games, pizza, drinks, and open networking created a relaxed setting for conversations among traders, partners, and other Web3 participants. By bringing together familiar competitive activities and crypto-related interactions, the event offered a different kind of community experience during MERGE Madrid week.
