When and where is TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 held?
Wednesday October 7 and Thursday October 8, 2026, at Marina Bay Sands, where the event occupies all five floors, from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day, depending on the official FAQ. We presented the tickets and the program for TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 on September 10: since then, prices have increased and the list of speakers has expanded.
The organizer expects 25,000 participants from 7,000 companies and 160 countries, 300 speakers, 500 exhibitors and 1,000 side events, according to its press release of August 6, 2026. These figures are his own, without independent audit. The show functions like a central station: the conference is the main hall, and the whole city fills up with events around it, from October 5 to 11.
Singapore is focusing all the organizer’s attention this year, as its co-founder summarizes:
“With the postponement of our Dubai edition to 2027, all our attention this year is focused on Singapore. […] We will also unveil new pathways and formats in the coming weeks as we develop the institutional portion of the program. »

Why is Wall Street coming to TOKEN2049?
Because the big financial houses now sell crypto products, and TOKEN2049 wants to attract them. Read as an operation, this edition seeks to expand its institutional audience, which buys the most expensive passes and stands; banks and asset managers are looking for partners and clients. For them, coming to Singapore means shopping at the wholesale market before putting together their menu: they identify the products and suppliers before offering them to their own customers.
| Organization | Speaker | Function (official page) |
|---|---|---|
| Nasdaq | Adena Friedman | President and CEO |
| Franklin Templeton | Jenny Johnson | General Director |
| BlackRock | Nikhil Sharma | Director, Digital Assets |
| Morgan Stanley | Amy Oldenburg | Head of digital assets strategy |
| Goldman Sachs | Timothy Moe | Chief Equity Strategist Asia-Pacific |

The common thread of these profiles is the tokenization : represent a financial asset, such as a share of funds or a bond, in the form of a token on a blockchain, to exchange it faster and at any time. To understand the mechanism, read our explanation of tokenization. Crypto figures remain in the majority on stage: Richard Teng (Binance), Star Xu (OKX), Arjun Sethi (Kraken), the Winklevoss twins (Gemini), Charles Hoskinson (Input Output, Cardano) or Justin Sun (TRON).

Kick-off is Wednesday, October 7 at 9 a.m. Singapore time, or 3 a.m. in Paris.
