PayPal Executive Food Tour Singapore
In September 2024, I lead an executive-level experiential activation with PayPal Crypto in Singapore. Designed as a business development touchpoint, the PayPal Food Tour brought together select crypto and fintech leaders for an intimate guided food experience across iconic Singapore hawker centers, including Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, and an exclusive stop at Taylor Adam speakeasy. What made the tour truly unique was the integration of PayPal USD (PYUSD) on Solana. Upon arrival, each guest was airdropped PYUSD via Solana Pay-compatible wallets, allowing them to tip food vendors using stablecoins in real time. This hands-on demo of PYUSD’s speed, accessibility, and utility created a memorable and engaging introduction to PayPal’s crypto offering.
The experience was executed in collaboration with local vendors, who were pre-onboarded with digital wallets and offered both crypto and fiat payout options. Attendees received full support for wallet setup, and tipping was facilitated through on-site QR codes and technical guides. With a capped guest list of 40, split across two nights for a more personal experience, the tour positioned PayPal as a forward-thinking innovator in real-world crypto utility while opening doors to meaningful BD conversations in a relaxed, culturally rich setting.
