The 2025 Singapore TOKEN2049 is about to begin: over 25,000 attendees, capturing the latest trends in the Web3 industry.

The world’s largest and most influential Crypto Assets event TOKEN2049 has announced the first batch of keynote speakers for its flagship edition in Singapore. TOKEN2049 will take place at the Marina Bay Sands from October 1 to 2, 2025, and is expected to attract over 25,000 attendees from more than 160 countries/regions, solidifying its position as the major annual international industry event.

Core Highlights of the Singapore Conference: A Dual Upgrade in Scale and Innovation

The TOKEN2049 Singapore edition in 2025 will be the most ambitious event to date, achieving significant breakthroughs in both scale and content:

Massive Scale and Unique Experience

The conference will expand to all five floors of the Marina Bay Sands hotel, transforming the venue into a vibrant “pop-up city.” Attendees can enjoy a festival-like experience, including a climbing wall, high-altitude zip line, pickleball courts, cold water baths, live performances, breathing exercise classes, and interactive areas, all of which complement TOKEN2049’s iconic focus on high-quality nutritional foods.

Additionally, the conference will feature over 500 exhibitors, highlighting its role on the global stage, with naming sponsors including industry giants like Coinbase and DWF Labs.

Citywide Carnival Activity Week

Review of the Dubai Conference, Insights into Singapore Trends

As Tiger Research has thoroughly analyzed in its previous report, the TOKEN2049 Dubai conference in the first half of 2025 has already revealed to us the deep changes the industry is undergoing. These trends will undoubtedly continue and deepen at the Singapore conference:

• Maturation of the Web3 Industry: The main stage of the Dubai conference showcased a more pragmatic and grounded way of thinking. Although eye-catching elements such as meme coins and celebrity appearances still exist, they are merely a secondary part. The core discussions revolved around long-term growth drivers, including regulation, financial integration, infrastructure development, and artificial intelligence.
• Stablecoins as Core Infrastructure: Stablecoins have established themselves as the core infrastructure of the digital economy and are seen as a key opportunity in the Web3 space. The industry’s focus has shifted from simple integration to control over the payment layer, with the goal of building an end-to-end financial infrastructure.
• AI: Exciting but Still Experimental: Discussions on AI at the Dubai conference generally presented a cautious tone, with many pointing out the gap between market enthusiasm and the maturity of current technological developments. However, concepts such as decentralized AI computing and open-source agent frameworks are still regarded as long-term opportunities with practical potential.
• The Rise of the Solana Ecosystem: Despite being severely impacted during the FTX collapse, the Solana ecosystem has successfully rebounded, with its presence and technical discussions at the Dubai conference even surpassing those of Ethereum. This shift in ecosystem dynamics is worth close attention, as it may become a turning point in the Layer 1 blockchain landscape.
• Technology is no longer the only chip: The Dubai conference clearly indicated that the gap between technological advancement and market adoption is widening. Many technically mature protocols have failed to attract user attention, while some simple Meme coins can generate stable trading volumes. As a result, industry participants are shifting their focus from research to execution, prioritizing strategic market entry, liquidity management, and user-friendly design.
• Node Sales Frenzy: This is a trend worth noting, as many projects attract capital and attention by opening node operations to a broader audience. However, participants are also skeptical about the long-term viability of this model, questioning whether it is merely a retail financing strategy wrapped in ecosystem participation.

Conclusion: The Era Declaration from “Borderland” to “Urbanization”

This conference did not introduce a brand new trend, but rather emphasized the further consolidation of existing narratives. As summarized in the report, the era of idealistic experimentation is giving way to a phase of pragmatic execution. The Web3 ecosystem has now entered an “urbanization” phase that relies on infrastructure construction, system integration, and delivery capabilities.

The upcoming TOKEN2049 conference in Singapore is the culmination of this historic transformation. It is not just a showcase of technology, but a key moment for industry leaders to collaboratively outline the blueprint for the future cities of Web3. After several months, TOKEN2049 will reveal what new trends and highlights have emerged in the crypto space, so let’s wait and see.
