The wait is over. TOKEN2049 Singapore, the crypto industry's flagship annual conference, opens tomorrow, October 7, at Marina Bay Sands, with Day 2 following on October 8.
Around 25,000 attendees from over 7,000 companies across 160 countries are expected to walk through the doors, filling five full floors of the venue across two days of keynotes, panels, product launches, and networking.
This year's edition features more than 300 speakers across six stages. Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq, the world's second-largest stock exchange, headlines alongside Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, one of the most active traditional finance firms in the tokenization space.
Eric Trump, Co-Founder of World Liberty Financial, takes the OKX Main Stage with CEO Zach Witkoff for a session on the future of American finance.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, Co-Founders of Gemini, are both confirmed.
Arthur Hayes is an American entrepreneur, best known as a co-founder of crypto exchange BitMEX.
From the crypto-native side, the roster includes Binance Co-CEO Richard Teng, Hyperliquid Labs CEO Jeff Yan, Polymarket Founder and CEO Shayne Coplan, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, and Aptos Co-Founder and CEO Avery Ching. Balaji Srinivasan opens Day 1 with a keynote on 'The Open Source Network State', while Arthur Hayes delivers his own later in the morning.
And then there's Formula 1. Four-time World Champion Max Verstappen and reigning 2025 World Champion Lando Norris, returning for a second consecutive TOKEN2049 appearance, bring a crossover between motorsport and crypto that few conferences can match.

A panel on 'DeFi's Institutional Breakthrough' features Aave's Stani Kulechov and Ethena's Guy Young, while Tom Lee of Fundstrat maps out crypto's path into a sustained bull market. But TOKEN2049 is more than the main conference.
The broader TOKEN2049 Week, running October 5 through 11, brings over 1,000 side events across Singapore, including the 36-hour Origins Hackathon, the NEXUS Startup Competition, ecosystem summits from Sui and Solana, and the Milken Institute Asia Summit running in parallel at the Four Seasons.
The week closes out on October 9 with After 2049, the official closing party at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, just as Singapore shifts gears for Grand Prix weekend.
For anyone tracking where institutional finance, crypto infrastructure, and culture converge, it all starts tomorrow.
