"Regulators and Crypto Pioneers Unite in Bali’s Blockbuster Blockchain Bash"

Coinfest Asia 2025, held in Bali, Indonesia, at the Nuanu Creative City, attracted over 10,000 attendees from more than 90 countries, making it the world’s largest crypto festival. The event spanned two days and featured more than 300 industry speakers, 100+ sessions, and 100+ side events, combining education, networking, and immersive cultural experiences. Organized by Indonesia Crypto Network (ICN) and Coinvestasi, Coinfest Asia 2025 positioned itself as a unique platform where innovation meets adoption, with a strong focus on Web3 and blockchain development in Asia [1].

The festival was not just a conference but a full-scale celebration of the crypto ecosystem. Attendees engaged in a wide array of activities, including live trading challenges powered by Pintu, chess competitions in collaboration with Anichess, and mascot battles. The event also featured immersive brand experiences, where companies like Binance, Polkadot, Sui, and others created interactive environments for attendees to explore the latest in digital asset innovation. In addition, the festival incorporated elements of Bali’s rich cultural heritage, such as the traditional Ogoh-ogoh parade and Kecak dance performances, which emphasized the role of culture in driving global adoption [1].

The event’s program was designed to foster high-level discussions on the future of blockchain and digital assets. Keynote speakers included Rachel Conlan, Chief Marketing Officer of Binance, and Mudit Gupta, Chief Technology Officer of Polygon. These discussions ranged from institutional adoption to the integration of real-world assets (RWAs) into blockchain ecosystems. The session “Decentralized, Fast, Secure… What Defines an Ideal Blockchain?” featured industry leaders from Binance, Ripple, and Stellar, highlighting the diversity of perspectives and the collaborative nature of the event [1].

Coinfest Asia 2025 also received strong backing from global and regional crypto firms, including Binance, Bybit, Gate, and Tokocrypto, among others. Sponsors played a pivotal role in enhancing the festival experience by offering interactive and engaging activities that blended business with entertainment. Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer of Gate, noted how the event’s unique format facilitated constant networking, making it an ideal environment for collaboration and deal-making [1].

One of the standout aspects of the event was the participation of Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK), which marked the first time a regulatory body was directly involved in such a large-scale crypto festival. OJK affirmed its support for Coinfest Asia and the broader Indonesia Blockchain Conference (IBC) 2025 as platforms to strengthen and develop the country’s blockchain industry. This participation underscored growing alignment between regulators and industry players in Indonesia’s evolving crypto landscape [1].

Looking ahead, organizers are already preparing for Coinfest Asia 2026, with the goal of delivering an even larger and more impactful experience. Felita Setiawan, Director of Indonesia Crypto Network (ICN), emphasized the event’s commitment to blending productivity with fun, aiming to create the biggest crypto festival where attendees can enjoy the culture and forge meaningful connections [1].
