If you didn't make it to the live event in Singapore, let's summarize the key points of this conference.

Last year, during Token 2049 in Singapore, flight and hotel prices were very high, and this year seems no different, with slightly better options ranging from 4000 to over 11000 RMB. Of course, prices have increased significantly since the pandemic; the era when you could stay in a 5-star hotel for just over 2000 is long gone.

The Singapore government is very pragmatic, bringing the F1 event and Token 2049 to be held locally, boosting various sectors such as airports, consumer spending, hotels, and dining.

The last Taylor Swift concert was also personally brought in by the government, with the entire Southeast Asia hosting it in Singapore, attracting many neighboring countries to come and watch the performance.

This time, the main guests at Token 2049 come from DeFi, financial investment, AI, technology, gaming entertainment, regulatory policy, and Web3, unlike last year's hot topics of AI and on-chain tools.

This year, the hottest topic is stablecoins!

Strong representatives from the financial investment sector (22 people) indicate that institutional capital inflow is the focus, while there are fewer from the AI field (only 2 people), possibly suggesting that the integration of AI and cryptocurrency is still in its early stages.

Multiple panel discussions will focus on institutional capital entering digital assets (such as the participation of Binance CEO Richard Teng and Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley).

CZ and V哥 did not appear to speak at the conference; it is expected that Binance's main stage will be in Dubai in December, while Singapore is the main stage for O, hence the large promotional lineup.

Highlights include Eric Trump, Trump's son (with WLF management), Tommy Lee, and the founder of Hype, while Tether's CEO Paolo has surprisingly made three appearances, indicating that stablecoins are indeed hot. Of course, we can't forget Jesse from Base, and also Sun哥.

Most speeches revolve around wallets evolving into super apps, integrating DeFi, social networking, payments, regulation, and cross-domain fusion (AI, gaming, entertainment), etc.

If you are a retail investor, attending the conference should allow you to see many project exhibitions; the bigger the booth, the richer they are, haha. In fact, if you are not going to chase stars or take photos with industry leaders, it’s recommended to attend smaller offline events. There are hundreds of offline events, with 39 high-quality ones, where you can connect with more outstanding individuals and gain a deeper understanding of the projects. #Token2049新加坡
