​The Premier Pre-TOKEN2049 Institutional Gathering

In volatile markets, institutional growth depends on resilient infrastructure.

Marking 9 years of engineering compliance-first digital asset technology, ChainUp presents The Institutional Ark: a closed-door gathering designed as a strategic anchor for global financial leaders.

Timed alongside TOKEN2049 in Singapore, this exclusive evening brings together C-suite executives, institutional allocators, and technology pioneers to navigate market shifts, exchange risk management strategies, and drive high-value dealmaking.

Who You’ll Be in the Room With 

Across our flagship side events, we have consistently brought together top institutional leadership:

  • 7,000+ C-Suite & Institutional Registrations in 3 Years
  • 70% Key Decision-Makers
  • 80+ Countries Represented

The Curated Experience

Set at Monti at 1-Pavilion, The Institutional Ark takes over an iconic glass dome directly on the Marina Bay waterfront. 

  • Institutional Access: Direct alignment with capital allocators, TradFi executives, and Web3 infrastructure leaders.
  • Waterfront Hospitality: Gourmet live culinary stations and free-flow drinks set against Singapore’s skyline.
  • Closed-Door Environment: Designed for high-value dealmaking, completely removed from crowded exhibition floors.

Marking 9 Years of Building 

Beyond high-level networking, the evening commemorates ChainUp’s 9th Anniversary. To thank our global partners and peers for nine years of building together, attending guests will enjoy exclusive anniversary drops and curated gifts throughout the reception.

Capacity is strictly capped to guarantee peer-level interactions and high-ROI discussions.
