SINGAPORE — 27 September 2024 — TOKEN2049, the world’s largest Web3 and crypto conference, celebrated its week-long extravaganza as the entire industry converged in Singapore. The week culminated in the flagship conference on 18-19 September at Marina Bay Sands, where it saw 20,000 attendees and over 800 side events take place in the heart of Asia’s leading fintech capital.
Conference-goers experienced a star-studded lineup of speakers, including Vitalik Buterin, Co-Founder of Ethereum, Edward Snowden, renowned whistleblower and privacy advocate, Anatoly Yakovenko, Co-Founder of Solana, Balaji Srinivasan, and Arthur Hayes. Adding to the excitement were Formula 1 drivers Max Verstappen and Sergio Pérez from Oracle Red Bull Racing, Lando Norris from McLaren Racing, Grammy-nominated artist Iggy Azalea, and Bryan Johnson, visionary entrepreneur and longevity pioneer.
The conference served as the stage for numerous exciting announcements and developments in the crypto world, coupled with extensive networking opportunities. Some standouts include TOKEN2049’s inaugural NEXUS startup competition which saw 10 finalists go head-to-head for a chance to impress a panel of foremost venture capitalists and become the next crypto unicorn. Attendees were also given glimpses into venture capitalist Balaji Srinivasan’s new Network School, Solana’s new crypto phone ‘Seeker’ and BitGo’s forthcoming stablecoin. Attendees at Vitalik Buterin’s talk were in for a special treat when the Ethereum founder decided to pay tribute to the songs from his past crypto projects.
Commenting on TOKEN2049’s all-out success, Alex Fiskum, Co-Founder of TOKEN2049 said “TOKEN2049 Singapore welcomed a record-breaking 20,000 attendees, with over 80% being internationals, reflecting the event’s global reach and significance. With more than 400 exhibitors and 800 side events, the energy and collaboration we saw exceeded all expectations. The positive feedback has been overwhelming, and I’m truly grateful to our team, whose dedication made it all possible. As we look ahead to TOKEN2049 Dubai next April, we’re excited to build on this momentum and offer an even more immersive and engaging experience for the crypto community.”
The celebration continued at the highly anticipated AFTER 2049, the exclusive official afterparty for TOKEN2049, hosted at the iconic Marina Bay Sands’ SkyPark Observation Deck. With breathtaking views of the Formula 1 evening session from the 57th floor, guests enjoyed unforgettable Singapore debut performances by headliner DJs WhoMadeWho and Da Capo. Elevating the experience, Polygon Production’s pioneering 360° sound system—also making its Singapore debut—enthralled partygoers in a truly immersive audio experience.
Building on the resounding success of TOKEN2049 Singapore, the event now sets its sights on Dubai. Taking place at the 5-star Madinat Jumeirah resort from 30 April to 1 May 2025, the conference promises an even more immersive and engaging experience for attendees.
TOKEN2049 will again be returning to Singapore next year on 1-2 October 2025, continuing its tradition of being the flagship event in the global Web3 calendar.
