TOKEN2049: Singapore

The 2026 edition occupies all five floors of Marina Bay Sands and is staged as a festival-scale week: main-stage keynotes, institutional panels, an expo floor, startup pitches, a 36-hour hackathon, wellness and hospitality programming, and a city-wide calendar of satellite events that runs into Singapore Grand Prix weekend.

The programme mixes crypto-native operators with traditional finance. Institutional attendance is a stated focus this year, with senior figures expected from firms such as Nasdaq, Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, NYSE and CME, alongside exchanges, L1s, funds, and infrastructure teams.

Who it’s forBuilt for people who already operate in crypto and digital assets:

• Founders and operators
• Venture and institutional investors
• Protocol, infrastructure, and developer teams
• Exchange, custody, trading, and market-structure leaders
• Enterprise digital-asset and tokenization teams
• Media and ecosystem partners

If the goal is deal flow, partnerships, fundraising, or market intelligence in Asia, this is the week the industry concentrates in one city.What happens on siteMain conference (7–8 Oct)
