Thought for a second
Anyone who’s been active in crypto lately has probably caught wind of TOKEN2049 in Dubai. It’s parts conference and part crypto carnival, featuring heavy hitters like CZ, Gracy, Balaji, and Allaire, with sessions covering everything from macro market outlooks to DeFi, NFTs, and real-world asset tokenization.
Tokenizing real-world assets was a standout theme, alongside deep dives into DeFi, DAO mechanics, and the intersection of AI and blockchain. Bitget’s crew even hosted panels on these subjects, while people on X.com flooded the feed with demo clips and roundtable highlights, from DeFi lending solutions to on-chain digital art.
The expo floor was something else: after Bitget CEO Gracy Chen delivered her keynote, Reuters photographers spotted camels wandering the halls and crypto-themed zip lines outside. Plus, side events like beachside hackathons and meme gatherings kept the energy sky-high.
What are your thoughts on these large-scale crypto gatherings?
