Plus where to read the full searchable list. - Author: Fizen Editorial - Tags: Events, Guides, token2049 **Quick answer:** TOKEN2049 Singapore runs on 7 and 8 October 2026 at Marina Bay Sands with 300+ speakers announced. The confirmed list read on 30 September 2026 includes Formula One world champions Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, Nasdaq chair and CEO Adena Friedman, and senior people from BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Franklin Templeton, Binance, OKX and Kraken. **Key takeaways** - **Two F1 world champions are on the stage list:** Max Verstappen and Lando Norris, four days before the Singapore Grand Prix runs on the same island. - **Traditional finance is heavily represented:** Nasdaq, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Franklin Templeton all have named speakers. - **The exchange bench:** Binance, OKX, Kraken, Robinhood and Gemini, plus protocol founders from Ethereum, Solana, Aave, TRON, NEAR, Monad and StarkWare. - **Scale:** the organisers state 25,000+ attendees, 7,000+ companies, 500+ exhibitors and 300+ speakers, with more than 60% at C level. One week out, the speaker list is the clearest signal of what this edition of TOKEN2049 is about. Read on 30 September 2026 from the organiser's own page, it splits into four groups worth understanding before you plan your two days. ## Who is confirmed | Group | Names announced | | --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Formula One | Max Verstappen (Oracle Red Bull Racing), Lando Norris (McLaren) | | Traditional finance | Adena Friedman (Nasdaq), Nikhil Sharma (BlackRock), Timothy Moe (Goldman Sachs), Amy Oldenburg (Morgan Stanley), Jenny Johnson (Franklin Templeton) | | Exchanges and brokers | Richard Teng (Binance), Star Xu and Haider Rafique (OKX), Arjun Sethi (Kraken), Johann Kerbrat (Robinhood), Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Gemini) | | Protocols and funds | Joseph Lubin (Ethereum, MetaMask), Lily Liu (Solana Foundation), Stani Kulechov (Aave Labs), Justin Sun (TRON), Illia Polosukhin (NEAR), Keone Hon (Monad), Eli Ben-Sasson (StarkWare), Haseeb Qureshi and Rob Hadick (Dragonfly), Arthur Hayes (Maelstrom) | | Policy and media | Deepa Raja Carbon (VARA), Jake Chervinsky (Hyperliquid Policy Center), Haslinda Amin (Bloomberg) | Names and titles as the organiser's speaker page listed them on 30 September 2026\. The line-up is still being added to, so check the official page for the final version. ## The Formula One crossover is not a coincidence The conference runs 7 and 8 October. The **Singapore Grand Prix runs 9 to 11 October**, on a street circuit a few minutes from the venue. Putting Verstappen and Norris on a crypto stage the week of the race turns a two day conference into a five day stay for a lot of attendees. That matters for planning more than it sounds. Hotel prices, taxi availability and mobile network load all behave like a race weekend rather than a normal Wednesday, and side events stretch across the whole week rather than clustering on the two conference days. ## What the week actually looks like - **25,000+ attendees** and **7,000+ companies**, per the organisers. - **500+ exhibitors** across Marina Bay Sands, with more than 60% of attendees at C level. - **300+ speakers** across the main stages and side stages. - **Side events** most of the week, many of them announced late and moved on Telegram rather than on a website. The practical consequence of that last point is the one people underestimate. The schedule you fly in with is not the schedule you end up running, because half of it gets rearranged in group chats while you are in transit. ## Where to read the full list, and what to sort before you fly We keep a searchable snapshot of the announced speakers, the week schedule and a Singapore guide at **2049esim.com**, alongside the eSIM that is the point of the site. The organiser's own page is the live source and should win any disagreement. The connectivity part is worth ten minutes now rather than an hour at Changi. A venue with 25,000 people is the worst possible place to rely on public Wi-Fi, and the introductions that make the trip worth it land in Telegram while you are walking between halls. Buy the data before you fly, install it at home, and carry a spare line so a glitch mid conversation is a 30 second fix. ## Frequently asked questions #### When and where is TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026? 7 and 8 October 2026 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore.
