TREE NEWS update: About 25,000 people are expected at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands this week for the Token2049 conference, held October 7-8. The event will feature more than 500 exhibitors and over 300 speakers, including Hyperliquid CEO Jeff Yan, Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan and World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump. Primitive Ventures founding partner Dovey Wan said the asset class has matured considerably since the first Token2049 in 2018.
Token2049 Singapore Draws 25,000 Attendees, 500+ Exhibitors
The real signal is the shift in who is on stage: a perp DEX founder, a prediction-market CEO and a political-linked DeFi co-founder sharing billing marks how far the sector has moved from infrastructure pitches toward consumer-facing and politically adjacent products. The scale also matters for Singapore's positioning as the venue of choice amid regulatory tightening elsewhere in Asia. Whether that exhibitor and speaker mix reflects genuine product traction or just conference-cycle marketing is the open question.
