For its 4th edition, Coinfest Asia 2025 drew more than 10,000 attendees to Bali’s Nuanu Creative City, which reportedly transformed the island into a global hub where blockchain and web3 met culture and entertainment.
More Than a Conference
In a media release, it was highlighted that the two-day event combined blockchain discussions with music, cultural showcases, and interactive activities, offering a mix of industry insights and festival energy.
This year’s Coinfest Asia featured more than 300 speakers and 100 sessions covering institutional capital, real-world assets, and web3 adoption in Asia. Leaders from Binance, Ripple, Stellar, Fireblocks, Bybit, Polygon, Trust Wallet, and Xendit shared perspectives on the future of digital assets.
But unlike traditional conferences, Coinfest Asia was noted to have built an atmosphere of play and engagement.
Attendees joined live trading competitions hosted by crypto exchange Pintu, chess tournaments with Anichess, and the popular mascot battles.
The festival also staged “Live Degen” talks for raw conversations about web3, while music performances and beachside meetups kept the energy going after dark.
“Coinfest Asia feels very different from other events, but in the best way. It has the atmosphere of a community festival that brings together industry leaders, regulators, and retail users. It’s awesome to see what real-world adoption looks like on the ground. By the end of the conference, a new idea can feel like a blueprint for the entire industry—the way cutting-edge technology becomes mainstream in an instant.”
Mudit Gupta, Chief Technology Officer, Polygon
Organizers also emphasized Bali’s cultural identity. Highlights included the Ogoh-ogoh parade and traditional Balinese performances, which complemented the tech-driven sessions.
Booths from major brands such as Binance, Polkadot, Sui, and Coinstore were designed as interactive spaces, which were noted to merge networking with entertainment.
“What I love about this event is that it’s about a festival of crypto. It’s about entertainment. It’s about energizing people around this space. It’s not another boring conference where you’re not leaving with takeaways. So I’m super impressed with all of the thoughtful execution and moments that have gone into what I know is a very memorable conference. And what’s been incredible is the diversity. Like I’m running into people I see all over the world. Kudos to you, to the organizers for everything you do to make that possible.”
Rachel Conlan, Chief Marketing Officer, Binance
Industry and Regulatory Support
Alongside its festival vibe, Coinfest Asia attracted strong backing from the crypto industry. Sponsors included Binance, Bybit, Gate, Tokocrypto, Bitget, Stellar, and Fireblocks, among others.
Indonesia’s Financial Services Authority (OJK) also participated, with Chairman Mahendra Siregar and Chief Executive Hasan Fawzi in attendance. The regulator expressed support for both Coinfest Asia and the Indonesia Blockchain Conference (IBC) as platforms to strengthen the country’s blockchain sector.
“Coinfest Asia has a really unique characteristic. Everyone stays in one place, so you’re naturally networking all the time… We’ve had a lot of success sponsoring Coinfest in the past two years. Indonesia is such a unique market—with so many projects and a massive user base. Bali is the perfect place to connect global players with the local community.”
Kevin Lee, Chief Business Officer, Gate
Looking Ahead to 2026
According to the organizers, following this year’s success, they are already preparing for Coinfest Asia 2026.
Felita Setiawan, Director of Indonesia Crypto Network (ICN), said the team aims to keep breaking away from traditional formats.
“We don’t believe in traditional format, events can both be productive and fun. We strive to make Coinfest Asia the biggest crypto festival where attendees can truly enjoy the crypto culture, while also creating impactful connections.”
