Pickleball Meets Web3: BingX, a global crypto exchange, co-hosted the BingX Pickleball Open Tour 2025 with Pickleball Country Club (PCC) on March 29 at Tana Sport in Vietnam. The event united over 267 players from 151 teams and more than 100 spectators, combining the energy of pickleball and the Web3 community.
The tournament aimed to build real-world connections among Web3 users and pickleball fans. Players competed in various categories, including Web3 Mixed Doubles and Open Men’s Doubles. Winners received a share of the 400 million VND prize pool, gear, travel bags, and other gifts sponsored by BingX.
Pickleball Meets Web3
Pickleball is a fast-growing sport that mixes tennis, ping-pong, and badminton. It is played with paddles and a plastic ball on a small court with a low net. Its popularity is rising in Asia, especially in countries like Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia, because it is easy to play and social.
The BingX Pickleball Open brought together national athletes, influencers, and casual players. Brackets followed DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) to make the matches fair. Categories such as Women’s Doubles 5.5 and Mixed Doubles Open allowed people with different skill levels to join.
High-Energy Matches and Star Appearances
The tournament featured 42 champions and welcomed well-known players and public figures, including Nathan Willis, Sophia Phuong Anh, and Jessie Luong. Their presence added excitement to the already lively event.
The prizes went beyond just money. Participants won pickleball equipment, travel luggage, and exclusive rewards. With fun matches and big crowds, the day was packed with energy and celebration.
A New Way to Build Community
BingX used this event to bring its users together outside of trading.
“Our goal with this event was to create a space where BingX users could connect in real life while sharing common interests beyond trading,” said Alex Nguyen, BingX’s spokesperson for Vietnam. “We saw traders, athletes, and fans all in one place, from Web3 doubles teams to beginner players discovering the sport. It’s exactly the kind of community-driven experience we want to keep supporting, and we’re thrilled to see such a positive response.”
The tournament was not just about sports. It celebrated community, culture, and how crypto companies like BingX are connecting with people through real-life events.
What This Means Going Forward
The BingX Pickleball Open Tour 2025 was more than a tournament. It showed how digital companies can create fun, offline events that build stronger communities. It also promoted pickleball to new players and audiences in Vietnam.
This mix of sports and tech could lead to more such events. With growing interest in both Web3 and pickleball, BingX may continue using sports to bring its users together in other parts of the world.
