TOKEN2049: Key Info and an Exclusive Promo Code
The world’s largest crypto event returns to Marina Bay Sands on 7-8 October 2026. What sets this edition apart: with the Dubai edition pushed back to April 2027, TOKEN2049 Singapore is the brand’s only major gathering this year. That packs an entire industry’s attention, and likely a wave of announcements, into two days. Cointribune is a partner of the edition, with a discount code to match.

Why 2026 puts all the focus on Singapore
Usually, TOKEN2049 sets the tempo of the year in two beats: a Dubai edition in spring, a Singapore edition in autumn. Postponing the Dubai event to April 2027 changes the maths. Singapore becomes the brand’s only major rallying point in 2026, which makes it, in practice, the venue where most players will choose to unveil products, raises and partnerships. The 2025 edition already sold out, so pressure on tickets is anything but theoretical.
The scale, for its part, remains hard to compare with anything else in the sector. Founded in Hong Kong in 2018, the event moved its flagship to Singapore in 2022 and now takes over all five floors of Marina Bay Sands. The figures cited by the organiser (more than 25,000 attendees, 160 countries represented) describe less a conference than a full industry week, extended by TOKEN2049 Week and its roughly fifty side events scattered across the city.
Who takes the stage, and what happens around it
The announced line-up mixes platform executives, funds and public figures of the crypto world. Among the names cited by the organiser (subject to change): Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, Paolo Ardoino, head of Tether, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, and Vlad Tenev, who runs Robinhood. The final programme and session times are updated continuously on the official site.
Beyond the keynotes, the format spills well outside the conference hall. NEXUS pits selected startups (500 applications, 10 finalists) against each other on a global stage. Origins, the in-house hackathon, offers to go from idea to working product in 36 hours. And AFTER 2049, the official closing party, takes place on 9 October at the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark, 200 metres above the bay. For many, it is these fringe events, more than the talks, that justify the trip.
A useful note for European readers: some speakers represent platforms whose access is restricted or not harmonised within the European Union. Their appearance on stage is an industry conversation, not a recommendation, and it is up to each person to check the eligibility of the services mentioned from their own jurisdiction.
What it costs, and what the code changes
Ticketing works in tiers, in US dollars, and prices rise as allocations fill up. The very first waves (Super Early Bird) started around a few hundred dollars, the general tier then climbs to roughly $1,299 for the last band, and the Special Access (VIP) pass, which opens lounges, receptions and priority access, sits around $4,999. The exact price therefore depends on the sales phase in progress: it is best to check the displayed price at the time of booking.
The code COINTRIBUNE10 applies a 10% discount on that current tier, directly at checkout via the partner link. Worth keeping in mind: the ticket covers neither the flight to Singapore nor accommodation, by far the biggest expense for a visitor coming from Europe, and the AFTER 2049 party requires a separate ticket or a Special Access pass.
One closing thought. By becoming the year’s only major TOKEN2049, the Singapore edition will likely absorb the announcements others might have split between Dubai and Asia. In other words, what is said at Marina Bay Sands on 7-8 October will weigh a little more heavily than usual on the final-quarter narrative. The open question is whether that concentration mostly benefits the large, established players, or still leaves room for the projects on the way up. Answers on stage, in early October.
