SINGAPORE — The highly anticipated return to Singapore of TOKEN2049, Asia’s leading Web3 and crypto conference, has already revealed its first lineup of illustrious title sponsors and keynote speakers. Prior to the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix 2023 racing weekend, TOKEN2049 will take place from September 13–14 at Marina Bay Sands.
Over 10,000 people from over 3,500 enterprises are expected to attend TOKEN2049, making it the biggest event of its type this year. The conference’s return to Singapore highlights the region’s continued significance as a source of expansion and a hub of innovation in the world’s digital asset ecosystem. After the tremendous success of its record-breaking Singapore 2022 event, TOKEN2049 will present a comprehensive schedule of over 300 side events and networking opportunities taking place from 11–17 September around the city-state.
The event’s co-founder, Alex Fiskum, said in a statement celebrating the event’s victorious return to Singapore: “We’ve seen extraordinary momentum and excitement among a record number of ticket registrations to date and confirmed speakers, sponsors, and partners in our line-up. The largest cryptocurrency event of the year, TOKEN2049 Singapore is anticipated to be a memorable experience that will outpace our past iterations in terms of scope, fervor, and enthusiasm.
New additions to the program for 2023 include, among others, hacker homes, technical workshops, and NFT galleries, which will bring together top innovators, decision-makers, and leaders in the world of business. The conference’s attendance, sponsorship, and speaker records have already been surpassed for the 2023 edition, and those figures are expected to continue to rise as September approaches.
The agenda for this year includes topics like the constantly changing regulatory environment, the emergence of AI, Web3 gaming, NFTs and the metaverse, DeFi, scalability, interoperability, and many others.

The Singapore Grand Prix, where the new McLaren OKX special livery will be unveiled, and TOKEN2049 have combined for the last two years. The event is a fantastic way to kick off the weekend and to significantly increase interaction between crypto and F1 enthusiasts. Through our most recent “rewrite the system” campaign, we have been working to help people understand the potential of Web3, and Singapore will be a great place for us to increase the impact of those efforts, according to Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer of OKX.
The variety of this year’s TOKEN2049 Singapore title sponsors reflects the industry’s innate vitality. This includes leading cryptocurrency spot and derivatives exchange OKX; international financial technology company Circle Internet Financial (Circle); largest cryptocurrency exchange Binance; international digital asset market maker and multi-stage Web3 investment firm DWF Labs; open-source blockchain technology company EOS Network Foundation; DeFi asset management protocol Tranchess; leading cryptocurrency exchange platform Kucoin; and the biggest multichain ecosystem Polkadot, all of which are included.
