The blockchain world converged in Singapore this week as TOKEN2049, the year’s largest Web3 and crypto event, welcomed over 20,000 attendees from across the globe. With more than 7,000 companies represented, 300+ speakers, and 400+ exhibitors—including over 70% of industry C-suite leaders—the conference served as a powerful platform for innovation, collaboration, and forward-thinking dialogue.
At the heart of it all, our presence at TOKEN2049 spotlighted a bold reimagining of the onchain experience—centered around a revamped Wallet, a groundbreaking collaboration with McLaren Racing, and immersive engagements that brought together top minds in Web3.
A New Era for the Onchain Wallet
On the opening day of TOKEN2049, Chief Marketing Officer Haider Rafique took the OKX Main Stage during the 'Be a Challenger' panel alongside Formula 1 driver Lando Norris to unveil our completely reimagined Wallet. Designed for both newcomers and seasoned users, the upgrade marks a significant leap in usability, accessibility, and functionality.
The new interface features intuitive navigation, making it easier than ever to manage digital assets across multiple chains. With expanded token discovery capabilities, users can now explore millions of cryptocurrencies and collectibles—spanning NFTs, memecoins, and emerging digital assets—directly within the app.
Perhaps most notably, the Wallet now supports access to over 100 blockchains, empowering users to interact seamlessly with decentralized applications (dApps), swap tokens via integrated DEX functionality, and engage with cross-chain ecosystems without friction.

Legend Reborn: A Symbol of Innovation and Legacy
In a dazzling fusion of motorsport heritage and blockchain innovation, we partnered with McLaren Racing to unveil a limited-edition Legend Reborn livery for the MCL38 Formula 1 racecar. Set to debut at the 2024 Singapore Grand Prix, this special design celebrates the legacy of speed, precision, and relentless innovation—values deeply shared between our brands.
Unveiled at an exclusive on-track event in Singapore, the livery reveal brought together key figures including Haider Rafique, McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown, and F1 drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri. The design itself blends classic McLaren elements with modern digital aesthetics, symbolizing the convergence of tradition and technological progress.
This collaboration goes beyond branding—it’s a statement about co-creation in the digital age. By involving the community in design inputs and storytelling, we’re redefining what fan engagement looks like in Web3.
Immersive Storytelling at the OKX Booth
Our exhibition booth became a hub of activity throughout TOKEN2049, offering attendees hands-on experiences with our flagship products. Through interactive storytelling stations, visitors explored how our Wallet, DEX (Decentralized Exchange), and Marketplace work together to create a unified onchain ecosystem.
From real-time blockchain analytics to live demos of cross-chain swaps and NFT minting, the booth illustrated how seamless and accessible decentralized finance (DeFi) can be. Attendees also had the chance to interact directly with product teams, providing valuable feedback that will shape future iterations.
Thought Leadership: Shaping the Future of Crypto
Beyond product launches, TOKEN2049 was a stage for critical conversations about the future of the industry. Haider Rafique moderated a high-impact panel titled 'The Next 3 Years in Crypto', featuring Ethereum Co-Founder Vitalik Buterin, our Founder and CEO Star Xu, and Circle Co-Founder, CEO and Chairman Jeremy Allaire.
Discussions centered on scalability, regulatory clarity, real-world asset tokenization, and the growing role of AI in blockchain infrastructure. The consensus? The next wave of adoption will be driven not by speculation, but by utility—products that solve real problems for real users.
In parallel, our Chief Legal Officer Mauricio Beugelmans contributed to the 'Navigating Crypto Crime in 2024' panel alongside leaders from Chainalysis, M2 Exchange, and The Digital Chamber. The session underscored the importance of compliance, transparency, and proactive risk management in building trust within the ecosystem.
Building Community Through Web3 Events
True innovation thrives in community. That’s why we co-hosted several side events during TOKEN2049 to foster connection and collaboration across the Web3 landscape.
Events like The Carnival by OKX Wallet ft. Memecoin Summit and SWAP to the FUTURE brought together key opinion leaders, developers, creators, and enthusiasts for dynamic discussions and immersive experiences. Partners included industry pioneers such as Polygon Labs Co-Founder Sandeep Nailwal, 1inch Co-Founder Sergej Kunz, and Monad Labs CEO Keone Hon.
These gatherings weren’t just about networking—they were about co-creating the future. With participation from major tech players like Google and Fractal, they highlighted how interdisciplinary collaboration is accelerating Web3 development.
