9 CAT Group Wraps Its 2025 Asia Tour with BLOCK:LOUNGE and CryptoZonic, Key Success From Pipat, CEO.
From Web3 showcases to first ever trading esports in Southeast Asia and afterparty festivals — 9 CAT’s Asia Tour marks a new era for cross-border collaboration in blockchain culture.
Bangkok, Thailand – November 2025, 9 CAT Group, Asia’s all-in-one Web3 powerhouse, has successfully concluded its 2025 Asia Tour through its flagship event series, BLOCK:LOUNGE and CryptoZonic, hosted across Dubai, Vietnam, Bali, Japan, and Thailand.
The multi-country tour united builders, investors, creators, and communities from over 20 ecosystems, solidifying 9 CAT’s mission to bridge the region through its guiding principle:
“Local to Global – Global to Local.”
Connecting Ecosystems Across Asia
In 2025, BLOCK:LOUNGE and CryptoZonic became Asia’s dual-format formula for connecting projects, culture, and capital for 9 CAT GROUP.
Each event served a distinct purpose:
- BLOCK:LOUNGE: a curated daytime business lounge featuring project showcases, live demos, and panel discussions with extra activities like demo trading competitions.
- CRYPTOZONIC: a night-time celebration merging EDM and networking to close each blockchain week to remind everyone networking doesn’t require a suit and a tie.
These events were held alongside major conferences in 2025: Token2049 in Dubai, GM Vietnam, Coinfest Asia (Bali), WebX Tokyo, and Thailand Blockchain Week, creating seamless synergy between industry talks and culture.
Cross-Industry Collaboration on a Regional Scale
Across the tour, 9 CAT Group collaborated with more than 30 partners and sponsors — from exchanges and infrastructure providers to AI and gaming innovators — including:
KuCoin, GRVT, DTC Group, MEMECORE, BRE3, AstroNeko, Remember Us, CoinKami, KIRAPAY, AWS, MEXC Ventures, Own The Doge, PADT.AI, D1ckDAO, Blue Wolf Chain, Eduverse, CARD3, Investa, Geneus DNA, Fantrie, Pudge Penguins, Emerge Group, DTC Group, etc.
This diverse collaboration network represented the full spectrum of the Web3 ecosystem from DeFi and AI to lifestyle, DeSci, and entertainment.
“Each city had its own rhythm, but the goal stayed the same. To bring ecosystems together, to open real conversations, and to make collaboration feel exciting again” said Pipat Wattanamongkolsiri, CEO of 9 CAT Group.
BLOCK:LOUNGE: Where Builders Meet
As a cross-border networking platform, BLOCK:LOUNGE became a hub for Web3 founders and investors to connect in person.
This year’s sessions spanned Dubai, Hanoi, Bali, Tokyo, and Bangkok, with curated panels on topics such as:
- The Future of On-Chain Identity and AI
- Sustainable Growth in Southeast Asia’s Web3 Market
- Community-Led IP and Digital Ownership
The finale event in Bangkok featured sponsors and co-hosts including 9 CAT, Remember Us, CoinKami, AstroNeko, GRVT, KIRAPAY, D1ckDAO, PADT.AI, DTC Group, and BluewolfChain, capped off by an Idol Showcase featuring Euphonie and Ikinari Tell Me.
CryptoZonic: Where Builders Celebrate
The tour’s energy carried into the night with CRYPTOZONIC, the iconic Crypto × EDM festival that’s become synonymous with Web3 nightlife in Asia.
The 2025 series saw thousands of attendees across multiple cities, with each event combining music, trading, AI panels, and community culture.
The Thailand Blockchain Week 2025 edition featured highlights such as:
- GRVT Demo Trading Finals (Asia’s first live Web3 esports)
- All-Star Trader Panel with leading names in the Thai Crypto Industry like Art of Crypto, BearFaceTrader, Nayampatrade, IlearnALot_BTC, and 3SWTH
- Afterparty Sets by DJ Dadoo and DJ Karen Hillary
“It’s not just a party — it’s the moment where people realize they’re part of something much bigger.”
Innovation Meets Experience
The GRVT Demo Trading Competition, launched at BLOCK:LOUNGE and concluded at CryptoZonic in Bangkok, introduced the first on-site Web3 trading esports in Southeast Asia.
With live leaderboards, real-time PnL tracking, and streams in 4 languages: English, Thai, Indonesian and Vietnamese, it redefined how Web3 can be showcased to the public.
This initiative reflected 9 CAT’s commitment to turning complex blockchain experiences into accessible, interactive formats, combining learning, competition, and fun.
2026 Expansion: Gateway to SEA & Going Global
After connecting over 10,000 participants and 50+ speakers across Asia in 2025, 9 CAT Group is ready to take its flagship events global.
The 2026 expansion roadmap includes plans to host BLOCK:LOUNGE and CRYPTOZONIC in major blockchain weeks and conferences, continuing to bridge communities while amplifying Asia’s creative power on the world stage.
“The success of this tour proves one thing, Asia is ready to become the leader in Web3 ” added Pipat.
