The decision was made in coordination with partners and stakeholders to ensure the conference could be held safely and at the scale expected of a global crypto industry gathering.
Despite the delay, organizers reaffirmed their confidence in Dubai as a major hub for the digital asset ecosystem and thanked local regulators and government partners for their support. They said the event would return stronger in 2027.
All existing tickets will automatically transfer to the new 2027 dates. Attendees who prefer may instead move their tickets to TOKEN2049 Singapore, scheduled for 7–8 October 2026 at Marina Bay Sands.
TOKEN2049 is the premier annual gathering for the crypto and blockchain industry, connecting leaders, investors, and innovators to discuss emerging trends, regulatory developments, and technological breakthroughs.
Featuring keynote speeches, panels, hackathons, exhibitions, and hundreds of side events, the series fosters collaboration, knowledge sharing, and high-impact announcements across web3 and digital assets.
In 2025, the conferences were hosted in Dubai at Madinat Jumeirah and Singapore at Marina Bay Sands. Combined, the events drew over 25,000 attendees, including more than 190 speakers and representatives from 7,000 companies.
Notable speakers included Changpeng Zhao, Eric Trump, Paolo Ardoino, Balaji Srinivasan, Pavel Durov, and Arthur Hayes, while hundreds of side events, panels, and demonstrations highlighted new partnerships, market insights, and key industry developments.
