TOKEN2049, the world's premier crypto conference, will return to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on 7–8 October 2026, setting the stage for what organizers are calling the largest industry gathering of the year. Over 25,000 attendees from more than 7,000 companies across 160 countries are expected to converge on the city, alongside 500 exhibitors, 300 speakers, and a staggering 1,000 side events during TOKEN2049 Week.
The initial speaker lineup reveals a heavyweight roster: Shayne Coplan (Founder and CEO of Polymarket), Jeff Yan (CEO of Hyperliquid Labs), Adena Friedman (Chair and CEO of Nasdaq), Jenny Johnson (CEO of Franklin Templeton), Eric Trump (Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization), Raoul Pal (Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision), and Tom Lee (Managing Partner and Head of Research at Fundstrat) among the first 100 announced. Institutional participation takes center stage this year, with senior leaders from BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME, and Franklin Templeton confirmed to attend.
The event will occupy all five floors of Marina Bay Sands, transforming it into a festival-scale environment that blends content, networking, wellness, live experiences, and signature hospitality. The broader TOKEN2049 Week will see more than 1,000 ancillary events—conferences, hackathons, investor gatherings, and meetups—saturating the city. Other major concurrent gatherings include the Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, the Network State Conference, the Milken Institute Asia Summit, and the Forbes Global CEO Conference, all set against the backdrop of the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
Co-Founder Alex Fiskum highlighted the strategic focus: “With our Dubai edition moving to 2027, our full focus this year is on Singapore. We’re seeing strong interest, with more than 70% of the exhibition floor already secured. We’ll also unveil new tracks and formats in the coming weeks as we expand the institutional side of the programme.” The conference will also feature the second edition of the TOKEN2049 Origins hackathon and the return of the NEXUS Startup Competition, which has already drawn thousands of registrations. Finalists will be judged by top venture capital firms Dragonfly, Multicoin, and Maelstrom.
