Every October during TOKEN2049, Singapore briefly gains an extra city. More than 25,000 attendees and over 7,000 companies land in the same week; developers, founders, and investors from different time zones connect the venue, hotel lobbies, and street-corner cafés into a map that exists for only two days.
By day, this city is filled with agendas: from network states to prediction markets, from institutional adoption to stablecoin payments, with an F1 world champion and the Nasdaq CEO taking the stage one after another. The denser the schedule, the less time is left for real conversation — a topic that just starts to take shape is often interrupted by the next session.
That’s why we named the theme “Pop-Up City.” The daytime city belongs to the agenda; the nighttime city belongs to conversation. This is the second consecutive year Tree News has hosted an AfterParty during TOKEN2049 Singapore. This time, co-hosted with Cointime, we’re dedicating the five hours after Day 1 ends to those who haven’t finished talking yet.
CODE THE DAY. RAVE THE NIGHT.
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 Main Venue
Time: October 7–8, 2026
Location: Singapore
Scale: 25,000+ attendees · 7,000+ companies · 300+ speakers · 500+ exhibitors · 60%+ C-level executives
The two-day agenda spans institutional finance, digital payments, market mechanisms, and crypto culture. On stage will be leaders of traditional financial institutions like Franklin Templeton and Nasdaq, as well as heads of industry platforms such as Binance and Polymarket; cross-industry guests including four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen and World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump will also appear.
The conference features multiple stages including OKX Main Stage, BingX Labs Stage, MEXC Stage, and Bit Digital Stage, with keynotes, fireside chats, panel discussions, and live shows running in parallel. With so many sessions and scattered stages, we recommend locking in the few you most want to hear in advance, then planning your on-site route according to the official agenda.
⚡ Must-See Moment: October 7, 17:40 — Max Verstappen in a fireside chat with Gate founder Lin Han, bringing F1 and crypto on the same stage. This is the Day 1 finale; when it ends, head straight to the “Pop-Up City” AfterParty (doors open at 19:00).
