Issues subscribing to newBlockHeaders event using web3 npm module

I'm having issues subscribing to newBlockHeaders event using web3 npm module.

Here's some basic code I'm running,


const web3 = new Web3(new Web3.providers.WebsocketProvider('wss://ws.xinfin.network'));
 web3.eth.subscribe('newBlockHeaders', (error, result) => {
    if (error) {
      console.error(error);
    } else {
      console.log(result);
    }
  });

Then I get this error in the console. Using ReactJS btw:

dex.js:262 Uncaught Error: Given address "xdc0000000000000000000000000000000000000000" is not a valid Ethereum address.

Tried with both web3 module version 1.5.2 and 1.6.1
