The world of cryptocurrency continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and at the heart of this transformation are major industry gatherings that bring together innovators, investors, and thought leaders. Among the key players fueling this momentum is OKX, the second-largest global crypto exchange by trading volume and a leading force in the Web3 ecosystem. In a strategic move to deepen engagement with the global crypto community, OKX has announced its sponsorship of three high-impact events: TOKEN2049 in Singapore, DAS NYC, and DAS London.
These partnerships underscore OKX’s commitment to advancing blockchain innovation, supporting institutional dialogue, and delivering cutting-edge products that empower users across decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, GameFi, and beyond.
TOKEN2049: Asia’s Premier Web3 Gathering
As the flagship event of Asia Crypto Week, TOKEN2049 serves as a central hub for Web3 entrepreneurs, developers, investors, media, and ecosystem builders. This year, OKX steps into the spotlight as a title sponsor, reinforcing its leadership role in shaping the future of digital assets.
The conference coincides with the Singapore Grand Prix, creating a powerful convergence of technology and high-performance culture. Adding star power to the lineup, Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren Formula 1 driver and brand ambassador for OKX, will take the stage alongside senior executives from the exchange.
Key speakers representing OKX include:
- Haider Rafique, Global Chief Marketing Officer
- Lennix Lai, Director of Financial Markets
Their participation reflects OKX’s dual focus on product innovation and community engagement. Rather than treating these events as mere branding opportunities, OKX uses them as platforms for meaningful dialogue—gathering real-time feedback, identifying user pain points, and showcasing next-generation tools designed to simplify access to Web3.

DAS NYC and DAS London: Bridging Institutions and Innovation
Hosted by Blockworks, the Digital Asset Summit (DAS) is widely regarded as one of the most influential institutional crypto conferences in the world. With editions in New York and London, DAS brings together top-tier financial institutions, asset managers, regulators, and blockchain pioneers to discuss the evolving landscape of digital assets.
OKX joins as a top-tier sponsor for both DAS NYC (September) and DAS London (October), further solidifying its presence in key financial hubs. At each event, OKX will host mainstage fireside chats focused on the future of self-custody, multi-chain interoperability, and user empowerment in Web3.
A centerpiece of these discussions will be the revamped OKX Web3 Wallet, an all-in-one solution engineered for both newcomers and advanced users navigating the decentralized ecosystem.
Why the OKX Web3 Wallet Stands Out
- Supports 25+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and BNB Smart Chain
- Enables seamless access to thousands of DeFi protocols and GameFi applications
- Integrated with the OKX NFT Marketplace, allowing users to mint, buy, sell, and trade digital collectibles
- Offers cross-chain swaps and portfolio tracking in a single interface
- Designed with security-first principles, including non-custodial architecture
This level of functionality positions the OKX Web3 Wallet not just as a tool, but as a gateway to the broader metaverse economy.
A Strategic Vision: Building the World’s Most Beloved Crypto Brand
At the core of OKX’s event strategy is a clear mission: to become the most trusted and beloved brand in cryptocurrency. This isn’t about flashy activations or celebrity appearances alone—it’s about fostering genuine connections with users, developers, and institutions shaping the next phase of the internet.
“This year we have been on a tear as far as both our branding and upgrading our product. We have arguably shipped more products than anyone else in the industry,” said Haider Rafique, Global CMO of OKX. “These conferences are important venues to hear from our community and prospects on how we are doing and ways we can continue to deliver world-class crypto products. It’s not about fancy parties. For us, it’s about having intimate discussions with our customers and staying close to our community.”
This philosophy aligns with OKX’s broader efforts beyond trading—supporting creators through its partnership with the Tribeca Festival, enhancing fan experiences via sports alliances with Manchester City F.C. and McLaren F1, and empowering digital ownership through NFTs and wallet innovation.
