What is on the program beyond the main stage
- TOKEN2049 Institutional: a private gathering on October 8 for 200 individually approved participants from global finance and digital assets, primarily managing-director level and above. It has its own Institutional Stage, and attendance is by approval.
- NEXUS Startup Competition: ten finalists, chosen from more than 1,000 applicants, pitch for a US$250,000 prize pool. The first round is Wednesday at 5:00 pm on the MEXC Stage and the final is Thursday at 3:00 pm, with judges from Dragonfly, Maelstrom and Multicoin Capital.
- Origins Hackathon: a 36-hour build sprint, with demos on the MEXC Stage on Thursday at 4:00 pm.
The themes: institutional money and AI agents
Two subjects run through both days. The first is traditional finance moving onchain: Thursday's main stage covers tokenized assets, cross-border regulation and stablecoin payments, and the Institutional Stage adds sessions with Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, CME Group and BlackRock. The second is AI. Wednesday's main stage carries a 4:35 pm panel titled "The Agent Economy: Why AI Needs Crypto," and the smaller stages add keynotes on agentic trading.
Privacy gets main-stage time
Privacy is the third thread. Zcash has a keynote from Zooko of Shielded Labs on Wednesday morning and a main-stage panel, "The Zcash Moment," at 3:00 pm. Midnight, the privacy blockchain from the Cardano ecosystem and a Gold sponsor on the official partners page, has two keynotes: its president, Fahmi Syed, speaks on the Bit Digital Stage on Wednesday at 11:45 am, and Charles Hoskinson, founder and CEO of Input Output, delivers "Midnight City" on the OKX Main Stage on Thursday at 9:40 am.
