Top 20 Crypto Companies at Singapore FinTech Festival 2026
Top 20 crypto and digital-asset companies at Singapore FinTech Festival 2026: Circle, Coinbase, Ripple, Paxos, Hedera, StraitsX and more. Booths and sessions.
Updated 23 October 2026: sponsors from the official SFF 2026 sponsor page, booths from the exhibitor listing (checked 24 October), sessions from the agenda.
Crypto at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 is mostly the regulated kind: stablecoin issuers, licensed exchanges, custodians and the chains banks use for tokenisation. These are 20 digital-asset companies sponsoring or exhibiting, what each does, and what to ask them. Every one of them has to verify its customers, so we also point to iDenfy at booth 5J25-B for the KYC side, and note where Stellar fits.

Stablecoin issuers (1-4)
Four stablecoin issuers are on the 2026 lists: Circle, Paxos and Ripple as sponsors, and Singapore's StraitsX with a booth. Two stablecoin policy sessions, "From Fringe to Framework" and "Can Europe Catch the Wind?", set the context.
1. Circle. Issues USDC and EURC. USDC is the main dollar stablecoin on Stellar; see stablecoins on Stellar and what EURC is.
2. Paxos. A regulated issuer whose tokens include PayPal's PYUSD, which also runs on Stellar: PYUSD on Stellar.
3. Ripple (2F25). Payments company behind the XRP Ledger's business tools and the RLUSD stablecoin. For how its chain compares, see the stablecoin market in 2026.
4. StraitsX (3K07). A Singapore issuer of dollar-backed stablecoins, including a Singapore dollar token, tagged for digital assets and payments.
Exchanges (5-10)
Five of the largest exchanges sponsor SFF 2026: Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Crypto.com and Kraken's parent Payward. Their presence is about licences and banks, not listings.
5. Coinbase. Launched Coinbase Business in Singapore with Standard Chartered at SFF 2025, its first expansion of that product outside the US. It powers the 2026 session "Trust by Design: Building the Future of Digital Assets in Asia".
6. Binance. Its deputy chief compliance officer speaks on the 2026 agenda.
7. OKX. Listed as both a sponsor and an attending organisation.
8. Crypto.com and 9. Payward (Kraken) complete the exchange sponsors.
10. HashKey On-Chain (4H03). Part of HashKey Group, a licensed Hong Kong digital-asset firm also on the attending list.
Custody, wallets and networks (11-15)
11. Fireblocks and 12. Anchorage Digital. Custody and transfer infrastructure used by banks and funds entering digital assets.
13. Cobo (4J25). Wallet and custody infrastructure, a sponsor with a booth.
14. Hedera (2D25) powers the session "Liquidity Fragmentation: Tokenization's Hidden Risk", the problem of the same asset sitting on many unconnected chains. 15. Solana is listed as a sponsor.
Crypto payments and tokenised funds (16-20)
16. Triple-A (4K20). A Singapore crypto and stablecoin payments company, also on the attending list.
17. RedotPay (3B25). A Hong Kong crypto card and payments app.
18. TransFi (3E07). Stablecoin payment rails for businesses.
19. Libeara (4A38). A Singapore tokenised-fund platform. Background: tokenized money market funds.
20. BlockSec (4J07). Smart contract audits and on-chain monitoring. Why it matters: smart contract audits and DeFi risks.
Sessions for crypto people
The 2026 agenda titles that matter most for digital assets:
- Stablecoins: From Fringe to Framework (Policy Stage, Hall 3): how regulators are writing stablecoin rules. Compare the US and EU approaches in MiCA vs GENIUS.
- Stablecoins, Tokenized Deposits and Tokenized MMF: Which Money Earns a Place in the Stack? (FutureMatters Stage, Hall 5).
- What Will Tokenised Markets Settle In? (Ignite Stage, Hall 5): the settlement-asset question for tokenised securities.
- RWA Tokenization: From Products to Liquid Markets and What Makes Tokenization Production-Ready? Our background: RWA tokenisation on Stellar.
- Have We Come to the End of Anonymous Ownership for Regulated Digital Assets?, powered by Cleanverse: whether every holder of a regulated token must be identified.
- Geoeconomics of Tokens: Lessons From Live Cross-Border Tokenized Corridors.
The thread through all of them is the same: tokens are being admitted into regulated finance on the condition that someone knows who holds them. That puts identity providers and on-chain analytics in the middle of every one of these conversations.
What to ask each type of company
- Stablecoin issuers: what backs the coin, who audits the reserves and how often, and how redemption works for a non-US business.
- Exchanges: which licence covers Singapore customers, and whether your entity can open an account.
- Custodians: whether assets are segregated per client, and what insurance actually covers.
- Networks: who runs the validators, what a transaction costs, and which regulated assets are live today rather than announced.
Where Stellar fits
The Stellar Development Foundation is on the 2026 attending organisations list, though not on the exhibitor or sponsor pages we checked. Stellar's relevance at SFF runs through the companies above: Circle's USDC and EURC and Paxos's PYUSD are issued on it, and the agenda's themes, tokenised funds and regulated stablecoins, are what Stellar's ecosystem is built around.
For the numbers, see Stellar DeFi TVL in 2026, demand for tokenised real-world assets and the Stellar ecosystem map.
KYC for crypto teams: start with iDenfy
One pattern runs through the list: the companies that sponsor big are the ones that hold licences in several countries, and each licence comes with onboarding obligations. Smaller firms on the floor, from card apps to payment rails, face the same rules with fewer people.
Every company on this list onboards customers under AML rules, and many smaller crypto firms buy that step rather than build it. iDenfy, at booth 5J25-B in the Lithuanian pavilion, sells KYC, KYB, AML screening and fraud tools through one API and publishes a crypto-specific compliance flow.
Its recommended flow for exchanges and wallets is short: verify identity at registration, run AML screening after approval and keep monitoring, and ask for a face re-check before large withdrawals. iDenfy frames it against MiCA, AML directives and the FATF Travel Rule, and offers billing for approved verifications only. Pair it with on-chain analytics from Elliptic or TRM, both SFF sponsors. More: iDenfy explained and the top 20 RegTech companies at SFF 2026.
Singapore's rules in one paragraph
Singapore licenses digital payment token services under the Payment Services Act and, since 30 June 2025, requires Singapore-based firms serving only overseas customers to hold a digital token service provider licence, which MAS has said it will grant only in very limited cases. A separate framework covers single-currency stablecoins pegged to the Singapore dollar or G10 currencies. Ask any exchange or issuer on the floor which licence it holds, and check it on the MAS Financial Institutions Directory.
Frequently asked questions
Which crypto companies are at SFF 2026?
The 2026 sponsor page lists Circle, Coinbase, Binance, OKX, Paxos, Ripple, Hedera, Crypto.com, Kraken's parent Payward, Fireblocks, Anchorage, Solana and Cobo, among others. Exhibitors with booths include Ripple, Hedera, Cobo, StraitsX, HashKey On-Chain, Triple-A, RedotPay and TransFi.
Is Stellar at the Singapore FinTech Festival 2026?
The Stellar Development Foundation is listed among the 2026 attending organisations. It is not on the exhibitor or sponsor pages we checked on 24 October 2026, so do not expect a Stellar booth.
What crypto topics are on the SFF 2026 agenda?
Mostly regulated money and assets: stablecoin frameworks in Asia and Europe, tokenized deposits versus stablecoins and tokenized money market funds, RWA tokenisation, and digital-asset custody. Coinbase, Hedera, J.P. Morgan and Cleanverse each power a session.
Do crypto companies at SFF need KYC?
Yes. Exchanges, custodians, stablecoin issuers and payment firms all onboard customers under AML rules, and Singapore's digital token service provider regime applies strict licensing. iDenfy, at booth 5J25-B, is the identity verification company we single out for crypto teams; see our RegTech list.
