OKX Announces Title Sponsorship and Headline Speakers for TOKEN2049 Singapore

·

The crypto and Web3 landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with industry leaders converging to shape the future of decentralized technology. One of the most anticipated events on the global Web3 calendar, TOKEN2049, is set to return to Singapore this September, and OKX is taking center stage as the title sponsor.

Scheduled for September 13–14, 2025, TOKEN2049 will bring together over 10,000 attendees from across the globe—investors, developers, founders, regulators, and innovators—all united by a shared vision for the future of blockchain and digital assets. As Asia’s premier Web3 and cryptocurrency conference, the event serves as a critical nexus for collaboration, innovation, and forward-thinking dialogue.

OKX Leadership to Spearhead Key Conversations

OKX, a leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 technology platform, is not only backing the event as title sponsor but also positioning its top executives as key voices during the conference.

Hong Fang, President of OKX, emphasized the importance of collective industry action:

“TOKEN2049 Singapore is an excellent opportunity for the industry to come together and advocate for making crypto ever more accessible to those who will benefit from it most. As we move from trust-based systems to trustless ones, this conference will be an important (and fun) way to share our vision for how we will jumpstart further adoption in Asia and beyond.”

This year’s event marks a strategic moment for OKX to amplify its mission of democratizing access to digital assets and promoting a transparent, secure Web3 ecosystem.

Joining Hong Fang on stage will be Haider Rafique, Chief Marketing Officer, and Lennix Lai, Global Chief Commercial Officer—both of whom will contribute insights across marketing innovation, commercial strategy, and regulatory engagement.

Web3 Meets Sports: Fireside Chat Featuring OKX Ambassadors

One of the most exciting highlights of TOKEN2049 will be a dynamic fireside chat featuring two high-profile OKX Ambassadors: Daniel Ricciardo, Formula One driver for Scuderia AlphaTauri, and Scotty James, Olympic snowboard champion.

The session, hosted by Haider Rafique, will explore the intersection of sports, technology, and digital ownership—topics that are increasingly relevant as athletes and fans embrace NFTs, tokenized experiences, and decentralized platforms.

Rafique shared his enthusiasm:

“This is the second year for us to combine TOKEN2049 and Singapore Grand Prix. The event is a great starter to the weekend and will bring crypto and F1 fans together in a big way. This year has been about helping people see the future of Web3 through our latest ‘rewrite the system’ campaign—and Singapore will be a prime venue for us to amplify our efforts. Danny, Scotty and I might even have a surprise for attendees during our fireside chat.”

This fusion of elite sports and blockchain innovation underscores OKX’s broader strategy to make Web3 more relatable and accessible to mainstream audiences.

Regulatory Dialogue and Industry Growth in Asia

With Singapore firmly established as a hub for fintech and blockchain innovation, the location offers a fitting backdrop for crucial conversations about regulation, compliance, and sustainable growth.

Lennix Lai highlighted this significance:

“Singapore is the perfect place to bring together a diverse group of Web3 innovators for TOKEN2049—all of whom are playing an important role in building the foundation for the industry's further growth. I'm looking forward to discussing how the regulatory landscape is evolving in the region, and contributing to discussions about how Web3 companies can build trust with users and regulators alike by emphasizing transparency, security and compliance.”

As governments across Asia-Pacific refine their approaches to digital assets, events like TOKEN2049 provide a neutral ground for stakeholders to align on best practices, foster innovation, and ensure consumer protection.
