[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Domestic cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb is holding the '2022 Bithumb Pizza Day' event for five days until the 22nd, giving a total of 2,000 customers Bithumb Cash worth 25,000 KRW or pizza gifticons.
Bithumb will award 25,000 KRW in Bithumb Cash to 100 people daily, totaling 500 people, selected by lottery from new members who join during the event period. Additionally, among all members who trade Bitcoin at least once during the event period, 100 people per day, totaling 500 people, will be selected by lottery to receive 25,000 KRW in Bithumb Cash. Furthermore, 1,000 VIP customers in May will receive pizza set gifticons worth approximately 27,000 KRW.
A Bithumb representative said, “This year, we planned the Pizza Day event to share the value and meaning of virtual assets with Bithumb members,” adding, “We will continue to strive to provide various benefits and services to our members.”
Bitcoin Pizza Day was created to commemorate the transaction of 10,000 Bitcoins for two pizzas in the United States on May 22, 2010. It holds symbolic meaning as the first time Bitcoin was used in a real-world transaction and has established itself as a representative commemorative day in the cryptocurrency industry.
Meanwhile, Dunamu, which operates the cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, is also conducting the '2022 Upbit Pizza Day Event.'
The first 2,022 people who deposit 0.001 Bitcoin via the instant withdrawal function into the event-specific wallet prepared by Upbit will receive pizza coupons worth 40,000 KRW.
Participation in the event is limited to one time per Upbit account verified by real-name authentication, and both new and existing members can participate. The winning pizza coupons will be sent before the 23rd, and the digital assets deposited through event participation will be returned.
Dunamu will also donate 2,500 pizzas to 50 child care facilities nationwide. They will collaborate with pizza shops that have consistently carried out good deeds despite difficulties caused by COVID-19, such as “Good Stores” that regularly donate to the Community Chest of Korea and “Good Neighbor Stores” that regularly donate to Good Neighbors, supporting small business owners through this event.
