The show floor is set to host more than 500 exhibitors. Over 300 speakers will take the stage across the two days.
TOKEN2049 Week stretches from October 5-11 and features more than 1,000 side events.

Bitcoin’s comeback sets the tone
Bitcoin traded at roughly $58,000 at the end of June. It has since climbed to around $86,000. That run marks the cryptocurrency’s strongest quarterly performance since late 2024.
Wall Street keeps showing up
BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Nasdaq and Franklin Templeton are all set to be represented at the conference.
Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan and Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan are on the schedule. World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump is also slated to appear.
How TOKEN2049 got this big
TOKEN2049 Singapore drew around 7,000 participants in 2022. By 2025, attendance had reached a record 25,000. That is more than a threefold increase in three years.
This year’s projection of approximately 25,000 attendees would roughly match last year’s record.
