TOKEN2049 Singapore to host 25,000 attendees in October

TOKEN2049 will take place at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on Oct. 7–8, with organizers expecting 25,000 attendees, 500 exhibitors and 300 speakers from more than 160 countries. The event will occupy all five floors of the venue and is scheduled to include about 1,000 side events across the city during TOKEN2049 Week. Organizers expect attendees to represent more than 7,000 companies.

The two-day conference will combine keynote addresses, panel discussions, networking sessions, wellness programming and live experiences aimed at founders, investors, institutions, builders and policymakers.

The first 100 speakers announced include Shayne Coplan of Polymarket, Jeff Yan of Hyperliquid Labs, Adena Friedman of Nasdaq, Jenny Johnson of Franklin Templeton, Eric Trump of The Trump Organization, Raoul Pal of Real Vision and Tom Lee of Fundstrat. Organizers expect senior leaders from institutions including BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME and Franklin Templeton to participate across sessions and meetings.

TOKEN2049 Week will extend beyond the Marina Bay Sands programme. More than 1,000 events-conferences, hackathons, investor gatherings, meetups and networking receptions-are planned at venues across Singapore. Several other industry gatherings are scheduled for the same week, running alongside the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

The 2026 programme will include TOKEN2049 Origins, a 36-hour hackathon, and the return of the NEXUS Startup Competition. Organizers report registrations and applications for both programmes are running well ahead of last year and number in the thousands. Finalists in the startup competition are set to be judged by venture capital firms Dragonfly, Multicoin and Maelstrom.

Alex Fiskum, co-founder of TOKEN2049, commented: “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 will also add new tracks and formats as we expand the institutional side of the programme.”

Organizers report limited “Happy Bird” tickets remain available for a short period and that exhibition and partnership opportunities are restricted.
