Coinfest Asia 2025 Unites Crypto and Culture in Record-breaking Festival

Coinfest Asia 2025, the world’s largest crypto festival, drew over 10,000 participants from more than 90 countries to Bali, Indonesia, over two days in August 2025. Hosted at Nuanu Creative City, the event featured 300+ speakers, 100+ sessions, and a wide array of side events, showcasing the festival’s unique blend of innovation, entertainment, and cultural celebration. This edition solidified the region’s growing influence in the Web3 ecosystem while setting the stage for an even larger 2026 event [1].

The festival’s immersive nature distinguished it from traditional conferences. Attendees engaged in live trading challenges, chess competitions, and interactive brand activations, which combined networking with entertainment. Cultural highlights included the Balinese Ogoh-ogoh parade and Kecak dance performances, emphasizing the importance of local heritage in the global adoption of digital assets. These experiences reinforced the event’s role as a platform for cultural exchange, where attendees could both learn and unwind [2].

Industry leaders such as Binance’s Chief Marketing Officer Rachel Conlan and Polygon’s Chief Technology Officer Mudit Gupta praised the event’s format for fostering authentic engagement. “Coinfest Asia feels very different from other events, but in the best way,” Gupta said, highlighting the convergence of industry leaders, regulators, and retail users. The event also featured high-level discussions on blockchain’s future, with sessions addressing institutional adoption, real-world assets, and the global market outlook. Notably, Indonesian regulators made a significant presence, with the Financial Services Authority (OJK) supporting the festival and affirming its role in strengthening the nation’s blockchain industry [3].

The event’s success was further underscored by strong industry backing. Sponsors such as Binance, Bybit, and Gate highlighted the strategic importance of connecting global crypto players with Indonesia’s rapidly growing market. Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer of Gate, noted that the festival’s format created natural networking opportunities, which had yielded tangible outcomes in previous years. This support, combined with the presence of over 5,000 companies from diverse industries, underscored the event’s broad reach and appeal [1].

Looking ahead, organizers are preparing for an even larger 2026 edition. Felita Setiawan of Indonesia Crypto Network (ICN) emphasized the event’s unique blend of productivity and fun, aiming to make Coinfest Asia 2026 the most impactful yet. With the foundation laid by 2025’s success, the 2026 event is expected to feature expanded programming, enhanced networking opportunities, and a continued focus on bridging the gap between technology and culture. As the crypto landscape continues to evolve, Coinfest Asia remains a pivotal force in shaping the future of digital assets in Asia [3].
