TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 takes place on 7–8 October 2026 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Organizers expect more than 25,000 attendees, 300+ speakers and 500+ exhibitors. The surrounding TOKEN2049 Week runs from 5 to 11 October, and standard tickets currently cost US$599, with a price increase scheduled for 24 September.
The rest of this guide covers what you need to plan the trip: the venue, who is speaking, what the agenda focuses on, how side events work, what tickets include, and where Bitunix will be during the conference.
What Is TOKEN2049?
TOKEN2049 is an annual crypto conference series that brings founders, investors, exchanges, trading firms and developers together for two days of keynotes, panels and exhibition. It launched in Hong Kong in 2018, moved its flagship edition to Singapore in 2022, and later added a Dubai edition in the spring.
If you've spent any time on the Web3 circuit, you know the event hits differently. Two things explain why: absolute executive density and dead-on timing. When more than 60% of the room holds a C-suite title, you aren't there just for keynotes; you're there to close deals. Throw in the Singapore F1 Grand Prix happening the exact same week, and virtually the entire industry gets crammed into a tiny grid of city streets for seven straight days.
What really makes this upcoming edition wild, though, is a major schedule shift. With Dubai postponed until spring 2027, Singapore has effectively become the sole center of gravity for global Web3 attention in 2026. Every product debut, major partnership, and headline announcement that would normally be spread across two global stages is now jammed into a single window — cranking the volume of news and raw energy in Singapore over that one week to an all-time high.
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: Dates, Venue & Key Details
Navigating an event this size can easily waste hours — knowing exactly when doors open and how to move through the floors will save you half your day.
When Is TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026?
The conference runs on Wednesday 7 October and Thursday 8 October 2026. Registration and breakfast open at 7:30 am on both days, and the opening remarks on the main stage begin at 9:00 am on Day 1. Sessions run until around 6:00 pm.
TOKEN2049 Week extends the schedule on both sides, from Monday 5 October to Sunday 11 October. The official closing party, AFTER 2049, takes place on Friday 9 October, and the Singapore Grand Prix sessions run from 9 to 11 October.
Where Is the Event Held?
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 is held at Marina Bay Sands, 10 Bayfront Avenue. The 2026 edition takes over all five floors of the convention centre, which organizers describe as a pop-up city of stages, exhibition halls and activity zones.
Bayfront MRT station, on the Circle and Downtown lines, connects directly to the venue. Hotels around Marina Bay and the central business district tend to sell out or reprice sharply for this week, so booking accommodation early matters more than it does for most conferences.

What to Expect at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026
The program runs across multiple stages, with major industry names such as Binance, OKX and Hyperliquid represented across the two-day agenda. With 300+ speakers covering everything from institutional adoption and market structure to AI and onchain finance, nobody can see everything, so it helps to decide in advance which speakers and topics are worth your limited hours.
Top Speakers and Crypto Industry Leaders
The announced lineup mixes crypto founders, fund managers and executives from traditional finance. Confirmed names on the official speaker page include:
Balaji Srinivasan, founder of The Network State, who opens the main stage on Day 1
Jeff Yan, CEO of Hyperliquid Labs
Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket
Adena Friedman, Chair and CEO of Nasdaq
Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom
Tom Lee, of Fundstrat and BitMine
Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision
Max Verstappen, four-time Formula One world champion
The wider agenda adds names such as Stani Kulechov (Aave Labs), Guy Young (Ethena Labs), Joseph Lubin (Consensys), Jesse Pollak (Base), Haseeb Qureshi (Dragonfly) and Arjun Sethi (Kraken). Lineups change, so check the official agenda again in the final days before the event.
Key Crypto Themes to Watch
Day 1 brings together some of the biggest themes shaping crypto markets right now, from perpetuals and AI-driven trading to institutional DeFi, prediction markets, macro policy, security, and market structure. For traders, several sessions are particularly worth keeping on the radar.
Onchain derivatives and perpetuals. Hyperliquid's CEO has a main-stage fireside on rebuilding financial infrastructure, and a Kalshi session looks at bringing perpetual contracts to the US market.
AI agents in trading. Multiple sessions ask whether autonomous agents can trade onchain and whether they will outperform human traders.
Institutional DeFi and tokenized markets. Panels with Aave, Ethena, Chainlink and Ripple Prime focus on how institutional capital moves onchain.
Prediction markets. Polymarket's founder appears on the main stage, and a dedicated prediction markets side event runs on 8 October.
Macro and policy. Raoul Pal hosts Zoltan Pozsar on the monetary order, while a policy panel covers what comes next between Washington and Wall Street.
Security. Talks address quantum-resistant cryptography and how large language models have raised the baseline threat level.
Market structure. Sessions debate the state of memecoins, whether fundamentals are being priced in 2026, and execution topics such as price impact and VWAP.
The TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 agenda clusters around derivatives, AI agents, institutional DeFi, prediction markets, macro policy and security.
Why Traders, Builders and Investors Attend TOKEN2049
Different groups use the same event for different purposes. Builders come for distribution, integrations and the NEXUS startup competition, whose first round starts on 7 October with the final on 8 October. Developers join the Origins hackathon, a 36-hour build that begins on 6 October and ends with the top five demos on 8 October. Investors use the week to compress months of founder meetings into a few days.
For traders, the value is more practical. You can meet exchange product teams face to face and compare tools side by side on the exhibition floor. You can also hear how funds and market makers describe current liquidity conditions.
There is a market angle as well. Large conferences concentrate announcements into a short window, and listings, launches and partnership news often land during the event. That can mean sharper moves in individual tokens, and "sell the news" reactions are common once an expected announcement is confirmed. Traders who stay active during the week may use spot or perpetual futures on platforms such as Bitunix to manage exposure in either direction. Stop-loss orders and conservative leverage matter more than usual when headlines arrive while you are away from the screen. None of this makes event-driven trading predictable, and leveraged positions can be liquidated quickly in thin or fast markets.
TOKEN2049 Week: Side Events, Networking & After-Parties
For many attendees, the side events are where most of the useful conversations happen. The main stage is recorded and can be watched later, but side events only happen in person.
What Is TOKEN2049 Week?
TOKEN2049 Week is the calendar of meetups, summits, workshops, dinners and parties that runs around the conference, from 5 to 11 October 2026. The events are organized independently by companies, funds and communities, with TOKEN2049 acting as the flagship event and the central listing. Organizers cite more than 1,000 side events for this year's week.
Formats vary widely. The current listing includes full-day conferences such as Digital Asset Summit Asia, Solana Summit and a Stablecoin Summit. It also has ecosystem days from Sui, Monad, Arbitrum and Mantle, investor breakfasts, morning runs, and padel and pickleball sessions. Several gatherings are aimed at traders, including a week-long traders' program, perps-focused mixers and a trading tournament.
How to Find Side Events in Singapore
The official TOKEN2049 Week site is the most complete source. It lets you filter by date, category (conference, networking, party, hackathon, sport) and ticket type. Most listings link out to a registration page, often on Luma.
A few habits make the week manageable:
Register early. Most side events are free, but hosts approve guests manually and popular rooms reach capacity a week or more before the event.
Check the access type. Some listings are invite-only or reserved for specific groups such as institutions, founders or Special Access Pass holders.
Plan by location. Events are spread across Marina Bay, the CBD and beyond, and evening traffic is heavy in race week. Two well-chosen events per evening usually beat five rushed ones.
Follow host channels. Exchanges and projects often announce their events on X, LinkedIn and Telegram before they appear on aggregated calendars.
Networking and After-Party Opportunities
Inside the venue, the TOKEN2049 app handles structured networking: you can browse attendees, request meetings and book slots at the Networking Village. Ticket holders also get daily networking drinks on site.
The official closing party is AFTER 2049 on Friday 9 October at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, 57 floors up, headlined by Claptone and Crusy. It requires its own ticket, listed at US$120. The first release sold out and a second release is scheduled for 24 September. Beyond that, exchanges and funds host their own evening events throughout the week, which are usually smaller and better suited to actual conversations.
Meet Bitunix at TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026
Bitunix returns to TOKEN2049 Singapore in 2026 as a Gold Sponsor, after sponsoring the 2025 edition. Bitunix Chief Strategy Officer Steven Gu said the event offers an opportunity to meet users and partners directly, understand what traders are looking for, and exchange ideas with industry participants.
The following table summarizes Bitunix's announced schedule during the conference:
Activity | When | Where |
Bitunix booth | 7–8 October, conference hours | Marina Bay Sands, Booth PB1-24 |
The Ultra Talks | 7–8 October | The Conference Room, Marina Bay Sands |

The Bitunix team will be at Booth PB1-24 on the exhibition floor on both conference days. For traders comparing platforms, the booth offers an opportunity to speak with the team, explore Bitunix's latest product updates, and get a closer look at its trading tools.
Visitors can dive into how Bitunix is redefining the trading experience and explore key offerings, including:
"Ultra" Chart Trading & Risk Tools: Explore the platform that supports up to 16 charts on one screen with 106 indicators and 103 drawing tools.

Bitunix TradFi & CFDs: Learn how to access global markets—including Stocks, Commodities, ETFs, Indices, and Forex—using crypto. The team will demonstrate a crypto-native experience that requires no separate bank account or MT5 platform, offering up to 200x leverage, 24/7 nonstop trading, and transparent zero-spread pricing.

Whether you are exploring a new platform, comparing trading tools, or simply keeping up with the latest developments in crypto trading, the Bitunix team will be available to share more about the products and the experience behind them.
The Ultra Talks
Alongside the booth, Bitunix is hosting The Ultra Talks across both days in The Conference Room. The program brings together key opinion leaders and industry participants who work with Bitunix. They will discuss what is shaping the market right now, from product development to trader behaviour and emerging trends. For attendees who want trader-focused conversation rather than main-stage keynotes, it is a smaller room with a narrower focus.
The Ultra Experience: The Bitunix Afterparty
Source: LinkedIn (Bitunix)
After Day 1 wraps, Bitunix hosts its afterparty on 7 October (the first night of Token2049, rather than after the event concludes on the 8th) from 6:00 pm to midnight SGT. The evening brings together Bitunix users, KOLs, partners, media, and the wider trading community in a more informal setting than the conference floor. Sessions end around 6:00 pm, so you can head over directly.
As with most TOKEN2049 Week events, capacity is limited and advance registration via Luma is strictly required. To gain entry, you must present a valid Luma QR code at the door. No QR code means no entry. Please note that QR codes are strictly non-transferable — do not forward or share your QR code with others.
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 Tickets & App
Tickets are sold in tiers that rise in price as each allocation sells out, so securing your ticket once your travel plans are confirmed can help you avoid later price increases. The 2025 Singapore edition sold out with 25,000 attendees, and the postponement of the 2026 Dubai edition adds another factor for attendees planning their event calendar.
Ticket Types and Pricing
There are two main ticket types. The table below compares them using official checkout prices as of 19 September 2026:
Ticket | Price (USD) | What it includes |
Full Conference Access (current tier) | $599 | All stages and sessions, exhibition and partner activations, networking app, all-day hospitality, daily networking drinks, complimentary access to Sui Basecamp |
Special Access Pass | $4,999 | Everything above, plus priority access and VIP credentials, speakers reception, Special Access Evening, TOKEN2049 Institutional access, dedicated lounges, a curated TOKEN2049 Week access portal, concierge support and guaranteed after-party access |
Two notes on pricing. First, the official site states that prices increase on 24 September. Earlier tiers were cheaper, and media partners report that the final tier reaches roughly US$1,299. Second, some media and community partners publish promo codes for around 10% off, which you can apply at checkout.
How to Register and Access the TOKEN2049 App
Attending TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 takes four steps:
Buy a ticket on the official TOKEN2049 checkout page. Payment is accepted by credit card in USD or in crypto.
Watch your inbox. Your confirmation arrives by email, followed closer to the event by a link to the networking app.
Download the TOKEN2049 app for iOS or Android and sign up through that emailed link, using the same email address as your ticket. The app is only available to registered attendees.
Set up before you land. Build your personal agenda, use the AI-powered matchmaking to find relevant attendees, request meetings at the Networking Village and check the venue map.
At the venue, arrive early on Day 1. Badge collection queues are longest between 8:30 and 9:30 am, and registration opens at 7:30 am.
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026: The Short Version
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 takes place on 7–8 October at Marina Bay Sands, inside a week of side events that runs from 5 to 11 October. Buy your ticket before the next price increase. Build your agenda around a few themes instead of trying to cover every stage, and register for side events as early as you can.
If you are attending, the Bitunix team will be at Booth PB1-24 and The Ultra Talks on both days, and at the afterparty on the evening of 7 October.
