TOKEN2049 will return to Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on Oct. 7-8, 2026, with organizers expecting 25,000 attendees at what the source describes as the world’s largest crypto event. The gathering is expected to draw participants from more than 7,000 companies and 160 countries, alongside 500 exhibitors and 300 speakers.

Speakers and institutional participation

Organizers have announced the first 100 speakers. They include Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan, Hyperliquid Labs CEO Jeff Yan, Nasdaq chair and CEO Adena Friedman, Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson, The Trump Organization executive vice president Eric Trump, Real Vision co-founder and CEO Raoul Pal, and Fundstrat managing partner and head of research Tom Lee.

Institutional participation will be one of the event’s main focuses this year. Executives from BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME and Franklin Templeton are expected to attend.

TOKEN2049 will occupy all five floors of Marina Bay Sands. Organizers plan to create a festival-style environment combining the conference program with networking, wellness formats, live activations and hospitality.

More than 1,000 events across Singapore

More than 1,000 events will take place across Singapore as part of TOKEN2049 Week. The program will include conferences, hackathons, investor meetups, other meetups and networking receptions throughout the city.

Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, Network State Conference, the Milken Institute Asia Summit and the Forbes Global CEO Conference will also be held in Singapore that week, against the backdrop of the Singapore Grand Prix of the Formula 1 World Championship.

“With our Dubai edition moved to 2027, this year all our attention is focused on Singapore. We’re seeing strong demand: more than 70% of the exhibition space is already booked. In the coming weeks, we will also unveil new tracks and formats as we expand the institutional side of the program. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to TOKEN2049 in October for the year’s biggest industry gathering,” TOKEN2049 co-founder Alex Fiskum said.

Hackathon and startup competition

The 2026 program will include the second edition of TOKEN2049 Origins, a 36-hour hackathon. The NEXUS Startup Competition will also return, with finalists to be judged by venture firms Dragonfly, Multicoin and Maelstrom.

According to organizers, registrations and applications for both programs already number in the thousands and are significantly ahead of last year’s pace.

Happy Bird tickets are available for a limited time, and organizers expect TOKEN2049 Singapore tickets to sell out before the event. Limited exhibition and partnership opportunities remain available. Tickets and additional information are available on the TOKEN2049 Singapore page.
