For the third consecutive year, OKX is proud to serve as the Presenting Partner of the Tribeca Festival — a landmark celebration of film, art, and innovation that continues to redefine creative expression in the modern era. This renewed collaboration highlights our ongoing commitment to supporting visionary artists and creators at the forefront of Web3, while bridging the gap between technology and storytelling.
As part of this year’s partnership, the BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center will be officially renamed the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC for the duration of the festival, which runs from June 5 to June 16. This naming rights agreement not only elevates our visibility within one of the most influential cultural events in New York City but also symbolizes our dedication to fostering spaces where creativity and digital innovation converge.
Advancing Web3 in Film and Art
The Tribeca Festival has long been a platform for boundary-pushing narratives and emerging technologies. By aligning with its mission, OKX reinforces its role as a catalyst for digital transformation across creative industries. Our multi-year involvement — beginning in 2022 as the festival’s first-ever cryptocurrency partner — reflects a strategic vision to integrate blockchain solutions into mainstream culture through high-impact artistic experiences.
In 2023, we introduced the inaugural Tribeca Festival NFT pass, offering holders exclusive access and unique digital collectibles. This year, we continue building on that momentum by sponsoring high-profile events and facilitating conversations around the future of digital ownership and decentralized creativity.

Spotlight on Innovation: Tribeca X Panel on AI and Tokenomics
On June 11, OKX Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique will take the stage at a Tribeca X panel titled “Future of Marketing Through the Lens of AI and Tokenomics” held at Convene One Liberty Plaza. Joining BBDO CEO Andrew Robertson, Haider will explore how artificial intelligence, token-based economies, and blockchain infrastructure are reshaping marketing strategies and audience engagement.
This discussion will delve into real-world applications of Web3 tools in brand storytelling, community building, and customer loyalty — all critical components in an age where digital trust and transparency matter more than ever.
Exclusive Gala Screening: FIREBRAND at the OKX Theater
Also on June 11, OKX will sponsor the gala screening of FIREBRAND, a gripping historical drama starring Jude Law as King Henry VIII and Alicia Vikander as his sixth wife, Katherine Parr. The film explores power, survival, and resistance within the treacherous Tudor court, offering a fresh perspective on one of history’s most complex royal marriages.
The screening will take place at the newly branded OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC, followed by a live panel featuring both lead actors. Attendees will then be invited to an exclusive after-party, further cementing the event as a centerpiece of this year’s festival programming.
This sponsorship underscores OKX’s support for cinematic excellence and narrative depth — qualities that parallel our own values in building meaningful, user-centric experiences in the digital asset space.
