Dubai, UAE – 29 April 2025 – TOKEN2049, the world’s premier crypto conference, has officially sold out ahead of the event, with 15,000 participants setting a new attendance record for 2025. From 30 April – 1 May 2025, TOKEN2049 Dubai will host a landmark roster featuring Binance Founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization Eric Trump.

They will be joined by more than 200 other founders, investors, builders and policymakers – including Balaji Srinivasan (The Network State), Raoul Pal (Co-Founder and CEO, Real Vision), Star Xu (Founder, OKX), Richard Teng (CEO, Binance), Paolo Ardoino (CEO, Tether), Arthur Hayes (CIO, Maelstrom), Jeremy Allaire (Co-Founder and CEO, Circle).

Alex Fiskum, Co-Founder of TOKEN2049, commented: “We’re excited to be welcoming 15,000 attendees to TOKEN2049 Dubai this week, with more than 80% flying in from around the world. The global crypto industry has truly gathered in Dubai for TOKEN2049 Week, with over 500 side events happening across the city. We’ve curated an incredible programme featuring the industry's most influential voices, alongside immersive activations and a citywide experience. I’m so proud of our team, who have spent over a year bringing this vision to life. We can’t wait to open our doors on Wednesday and showcase everything we’ve built.”

Redefining the way tech innovators connect, TOKEN2049 will transform Madinat Jumeirah into an immersive festival experience, where attendees can soar above the venue on an 18-meter zipline, plunge into ice baths, recharge with protein shakes and IV drips, and scale a colossal outdoor climbing wall – all while engaging with the industry's most influential profiles. More than just a conference, the Dubai edition’s record attendance shows how TOKEN2049 has created a biannual convergence point for the global crypto industry.
