Introduction: TOKEN2049 Comes to Dubai
In May 2025, Dubai once again became the crypto capital of the world for a few days, as TOKEN2049 brought together thousands of blockchain founders, investors, traders, and innovators.
This year’s Dubai edition featured:
3,500+ attendees
200+ speakers from top projects
Dozens of official and unofficial side events across the city
BFinance didn’t have a booth this time — but we made sure to make our mark in a different way.
Our Goal: Quality Networking
Without a stand, our focus was on:
One-on-one meetings with payment providers, wallet developers, and DeFi teams
Partner introductions via networking events and VIP mixers
Scouting new trends in blockchain payments and cross-border settlements
And, of course, our own exclusive side event for building stronger community ties.
The BFinance Yacht Party 🌊
To connect with partners and friends in a relaxed setting, we organized yacht networking event during TOKEN2049 week.
Why a yacht?
It’s Dubai — the skyline and sunset speak for themselves
Perfect mix of informal networking and premium atmosphere
Memorable setting for meaningful conversations
Highlights:
50+ guests including project founders, VC reps, and media
Informal pitches and product demos onboard
Discussions about stablecoins in global commerce, AI + blockchain use cases, and merchant adoption
Plenty of photos, music, and good vibes
Insights from TOKEN2049 Dubai
Even without exhibiting, being on the ground gave us valuable takeaways:
Stablecoin adoption is accelerating — especially in Asia and MENA.
Cross-border payments remain a huge opportunity for crypto.
AI + blockchain was a major conversation point, with focus on automation and security.
Community-driven growth is still the most effective marketing for Web3.
Why Side Events Matter
Official conference halls are great for panels and keynotes, but real partnerships often start over casual conversations— whether it’s over coffee or, in our case, on a yacht deck.
Our yacht party helped:
Strengthen relationships with existing partners
Start new collaborations with projects we met for the first time
Put BFinance on the radar of investors and journalists looking for innovation in crypto payments
Final Thoughts
TOKEN2049 Dubai 2025 was proof that presence matters — you don’t need a booth to make an impact.
By blending strategic networking with memorable experiences, BFinance left Dubai with new partnerships, fresh ideas, and plenty of momentum for the rest of the year.
