Token2049 Singapore

TOKEN2049 Singapore takes place on October 7–8 at Marina Bay Sands. The event expects 25,000+ attendees, 7,000+ companies, 300+ speakers, and 500+ exhibitors across the main conference and wider week.

The main conference runs alongside TOKEN2049 Week, which adds side events, startup programming, hackathon activity, private gatherings, and evening receptions across Singapore. The audience is mostly crypto-native and industry-facing: founders, builders, investors, funds, exchanges, infrastructure teams, market makers, protocols, media, and service providers.

For many attendees, TOKEN2049 Singapore is not only about the stage program. The draw is the density of meetings, side events, ecosystem gatherings, and company activity happening around Marina Bay Sands and across the city.

Main Conference at Marina Bay Sands

TOKEN2049 Singapore is held at Marina Bay Sands, with the conference expected to take over all five floors of the venue. The main venue includes stages, exhibitor areas, meeting spaces, media activity, and partner activations.

The conference is designed for companies already operating in crypto and digital assets. Founders can meet investors, partners, exchanges, and service providers. Protocol teams can connect with builders, ecosystems, infrastructure companies, and market participants. Funds, exchanges, and institutional teams can use the venue for meetings and market conversations during the week.

The format is not limited to stage sessions. A large part of the activity happens across exhibitor booths, scheduled meetings, side rooms, networking areas, and company-hosted activations around the venue.

Speakers and Industry Participants

Speakers announced for TOKEN2049 Singapore include Vitalik Buterin from Ethereum, Balaji Srinivasan from The Network State, Vlad Tenev from Robinhood, and Adena Friedman from Nasdaq, among others.

The wider speaker list includes founders, investors, exchange operators, protocol teams, infrastructure companies, and executives from crypto and traditional finance. The speaker program covers several parts of the market rather than focusing on a single chain, product category, or use case.

For attendees, the speaker lineup is mainly useful for tracking the companies and people currently shaping conversations across crypto, exchanges, infrastructure, venture, consumer platforms, and institutional digital assets.

Exhibition and Company Activity

The conference lists 500+ exhibitors, making the exhibition area a major part of the venue. Exhibitors include companies presenting products, meeting potential customers, holding partner conversations, and using the week for business development.

For attendees, the exhibition side is a way to see which companies are active, compare products, meet teams in person, and find projects outside the main stage program. The participating companies span crypto, finance, media, infrastructure, professional services, and technology.

This part of the conference is especially relevant for teams looking for vendors, partners, integrations, media contacts, market infrastructure, or ecosystem relationships during the week.

TOKEN2049 Week

TOKEN2049 Week runs around the main conference, with side events taking place across Singapore. The wider calendar includes 1,000+ side events and attendees from more than 160 countries.

The week includes summits, workshops, hackathons, networking sessions, dinners, parties, investor events, and invite-only gatherings. Listed events include Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, Global Onchain Summit Singapore, Gamma Prime Investing Summit Singapore, VNTR Investor Forum Singapore, QDay Singapore, stablecoin-focused sessions, and several TOKEN2049-hosted gatherings.

Some side events are built around specific ecosystems. Others focus on investors, infrastructure, stablecoins, payments, institutional digital assets, or regional communities. The mix gives attendees a way to build a schedule around the main conference without spending the full week inside the same venue.

NEXUS Startup Competition

NEXUS is TOKEN2049’s startup competition for early-stage Web3 companies. It takes place during the main conference at Marina Bay Sands and is built around 500+ applicants, 10 finalists, and one stage.

The format gives selected startups a chance to pitch during TOKEN2049 Singapore. Finalists receive access to the TOKEN2049 stage, investor exposure, a startup stand, and a prize pool listed at $100K+.

For founders, NEXUS is relevant if they are building an early-stage company and want to present during the week. For investors and ecosystem teams, it adds a startup discovery track to the conference. Applications are listed as opening soon.

TOKEN2049 Origins Hackathon

TOKEN2049 Origins is a 36-hour hackathon connected to the Singapore conference. It is aimed at builders working across DeFi, infrastructure, NFTs, and AI x Web3.

The hackathon includes 160 participants, mentorship, pitching, and a $100,000 prize pool. The format is focused on building and presenting projects within a short time window, with selected teams connected to the wider TOKEN2049 audience.

Registration opening, application deadline, and hackathon dates are still listed as to be announced. The page also highlights previous winning teams working on crypto payments, decentralized science, cross-chain micropayments, and treasury management.

AFTER 2049

AFTER 2049 takes place on October 9 at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck. It is listed as the official closing party for TOKEN2049 Singapore.

The closing event includes skyline views from Marina Bay Sands and a 360° spatial audio setup. It runs separately from the main conference and sits at the end of the TOKEN2049 Week calendar.

Who Should Attend

TOKEN2049 Singapore is relevant for founders, builders, investors, protocol teams, exchanges, funds, infrastructure providers, market makers, media, and companies working across crypto and digital assets.

It is also useful for teams planning meetings in Singapore, attending ecosystem side events, following startup activity, meeting service providers, or connecting with companies active across the Asian and global crypto market.
