This year's edition will place a major focus on institutional participation, with senior leaders from BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Nasdaq, NYSE, CME, and Franklin Templeton expected to take part.
Beyond talks and panels, TOKEN2049 will take over all five floors of Marina Bay Sands, transforming the venue into a festival-scale space encompassing networking, wellness, live experiences, and hospitality.
The main event will form part of TOKEN2049 Week, which is expected to see more than 1,000 events take place across Singapore, ranging from conferences and hackathons to investor gatherings, meetups, and networking receptions.

Other gatherings scheduled for the same week include Digital Asset Summit Asia, Sui Basecamp, The Network State Conference, Milken Institute Asia Summit, and Forbes Global CEO Conference, alongside the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.
“With our Dubai edition moving to 2027, our full focus this year is on Singapore,” TOKEN2049 Co-Founder Alex Fiskum said. He added that more than 70% of the exhibition floor had already been secured, with new tracks and formats set to be unveiled as the event expands the institutional side of its programme.
TOKEN2049 Singapore will also host the second edition of TOKEN2049 Origins, a 36-hour hackathon, as well as the return of the NEXUS Startup Competition. According to organisers, registrations and applications for both programmes are already running ahead of last year's numbers and have reached the thousands.
