Bitcoin rally sets the mood as TOKEN2049 Singapore draws crypto’s biggest names

Crypto’s power players are converging on Singapore this week. They are arriving with something the industry hasn’t packed in a while: optimism.

TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 runs October 7-8 at Marina Bay Sands. It lands just as a Bitcoin rally has investors whispering about a fresh bull market.

The numbers behind the gathering

The event is expected to draw approximately 25,000 attendees. They will represent more than 7,000 companies from over 160 countries.

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.

The timing also overlaps with the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix.

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.
