PORTAL to BITCOIN & ACE Crypto Friday @ The Block Lisboa

GMGMGM Crypto Fridays!

Lisbon and Portugal have always been home to a strong OG Bitcoin and crypto community people who understand freedom, sovereignty, and the importance of self-custody. Some might remember MagicTux, others first heard of Bitcoin through DPR. But we all agree with Satoshi: “Not your keys, not your coins.”

That ethos sits at the heart of one of this event’s sponsors: PORTAL TO BITCOIN. Unlike wrapped BTC or custodial bridges, Portal keeps users in control of their keys at all times. No middlemen. No custodians. Just trustless, atomic swaps across chains, powered by Bitcoin’s own cryptography.
Portal has already raised $42M from Coinbase Ventures, OKX Ventures, Arrington Capital and more, delivered a testnet with 1M+ wallets and 10M+ transactions, and ranked in the top 3 projects by mindshare on Kaito. Its developer-centric stack from the Bridgeless Liquidity Hub to the Portal Wallet with RAFA AI is unlocking Bitcoin in DeFi on its own terms, while staying true to self-custody.

The other co-sponsor, ALTCOIN EDGE, is a Web3-native marketing agency that grew from a YouTube channel into a trusted partner for Arrington Capital and Outlier Ventures. We don’t just advise we build, launch, and scale. From Portal’s go-to-market strategy to community growth, we’ve been hands-on in helping projects cut through the noise.

Join us in Lisbon as we honour Bitcoin’s past, protect its ethos of self-custody, and build its future as the backbone of a truly decentralised, cross-chain world.
