The grand event of the crypto industry, Token2049, has come to an end.
Compared to the past, when there were only around 1,000 attendees in 2018, this year’s Token2049 attracted over 10,000 participants, 400+ sponsors, and featured more than 400 side events of various sizes. In this small “county” covering just over 700 square kilometers, crypto professionals from all over the world gathered, surpassing even the popularity of the Consensus conference in the United States and China’s Wanxiang Blockchain Global Summit, two well-established crypto conferences.
People congregated at Singapore’s iconic Marina Bay Sands hotel, bustling with social interactions. Coinciding with the F1 racing event in Singapore, closed-off roads did not hinder practitioners from shuttling between different venues for social gatherings. “County” is no longer dominated solely by Chinese participants.
Crypto practitioners from neighboring countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia still formed the main supporting group. Additionally, with the increasing strictness of US crypto policies, numerous renowned projects, venture capitalists (VCs), and key opinion leaders (KOLs) from Europe and America attempted to plan and lay out their strategies for the Asian market through this event.
