TOKEN2049 Singapore Recap | At the Dawn of the Institutional Self-Custody Era, Safeheron and Industry Giants Forge the Bedrock of Trust
As TOKEN2049 Week 2025 wrapped up in Singapore, the Safeheron team concluded an intense yet fruitful journey of industry engagement. From high-profile, closed-door summit to the bustling main conference, we held in-depth dialogues with the world’s leading financial institutions, technology pioneers, and industry partners, collectively exploring the future of digital asset security amidst the rising tide of institutional adoption.
Kicking Off TOKEN2049 with a Premier Summit
As a Gold Sponsor of the Digital Assets Summit, Safeheron Partner Jag Foo delivered a keynote from the perspective of a custody practitioner. He emphasized that only by unifying security, efficiency, and compliance can we pave the way for trillions in assets to move on-chain and build a sustainable digital finance world. During the subsequent panel, “Building the Bedrock: Institutional-Grade Infrastructure,” Jag further elaborated on how Safeheron’s MPC-TEE self-custody solution eliminates single points of failure for private keys to prevent both internal collusion and external attacks, a message that resonated strongly with the audience.
On the same day, at a closed-door forum hosted by Tencent Cloud, Safeheron’s VP of Marketing, Yoda Lee, addressed the topic of “Institutional Adoption of Stablecoins.” He stated that trust is the ultimate prerequisite for institutional adoption. He explained Safeheron’s role as an infrastructure provider for the entire crypto-finance value chain, offering robust best practices and service support to traditional finance, FinTech, and crypto-native enterprises. This enables them to swiftly enter the crypto space and launch their businesses, all while providing objective guarantees for security and meeting regulatory requirements.
In-Depth Dialogues at TOKEN2049
At the TOKEN2049 main conference on October 1-2, we witnessed a significant shift in the market. Visitors to the Safeheron booth, ranging from startups to traditional payment professionals, asked increasingly specific and profound questions:
“As a company that processes high volumes of stablecoin transactions, how can we automate our workflows while implementing fund management controls to prevent internal operational risks and single points of failure?”
“As a multi-chain crypto fund, how can we manage a complex and dispersed asset portfolio on a unified platform and implement strict, overarching risk control policies?”
“For the wallet layer within our business system, how can we provide a seamless, low-friction experience for our users while ensuring the underlying key management still meets institutional-grade security standards?”
These conversations clearly indicate that the industry has moved beyond the proof-of-concept stage and is now tackling the challenges of large-scale applications. All of these innovative applications point to a common cornerstone: powerful, reliable, and customizable self-custody security technology.
An Exclusive Evening with Giants like Northern Trust & Blockstream
On the evening of October 2nd, Safeheron, alongside global custody giant Northern Trust, Bitcoin technology pioneer Blockstream, FinTech service provider Embed Financial Group Holdings, and institutional custody provider Komainu Custody, built a bridge for communication—a momentous private reception.
This was more than a gathering of industry leaders; it was a deep convergence of core ecosystem builders, forging a consensus on the future of digital assets.
Trust: The Only Foundation for Grand Narratives
Looking back at TOKEN2049 Singapore, we see a clear trend: the era of noisy hype is receding, and true value creation is coming to the forefront.
From the deep insights at the Digital Assets Summit to the thought-provoking discussions at the main conference and the strategic resonance with pioneers like Northern Trust, every step Safeheron took was focused on “Institutional Adoption” and “Security First.”
This focus stems from an unwavering conviction: all grand narratives in digital assets must be built upon an unbreakable foundation of trust. Therefore, Safeheron’s mission is not merely to guard but to build. With open-source principles and asset self-control as its cornerstones, we are dedicated to co-building a global network of trust for digital assets with our ecosystem partners. We strive to create network effects through technology, empowering clients to securely manage funds across the entire value chain and fostering a positive-growth future for digital finance.
