A Southeast Asia blockchain conference by SuperCryptoNews
Archived · event no longer runningAsian Blockchain Festival (ABF) was a blockchain and cryptocurrency conference centered on the Southeast Asian market, organised by the crypto news outlet SuperCryptoNews. It followed the same team's earlier Super Crypto Conference (SCC). This page is an archived overview of what the events covered.

The event aimed to give attendees a closer look at the region's blockchain scene through project showcases and panel discussions.
Asian Blockchain Festival positioned itself around the blockchain and cryptocurrency landscape of Southeast Asia in particular. The stated idea was to combine curated project showcases with panel discussions covering both established and emerging topics in the space, alongside an exhibition component and a metaverse or virtual-reality element that was fashionable in that period.
Like many conferences of its era, it framed Southeast Asia as a region with strong potential for blockchain adoption — pointing to a regional population of over 650 million people across multiple countries and currencies as a reason the technology might find traction there.
Asian Blockchain Festival grew out of an earlier event series run by the same team.
The festival was curated by SuperCryptoNews, a Singapore-based blockchain and cryptocurrency news outlet covering the Asian market, with a focus on Singapore, Thailand, and the wider Southeast Asian region. The same team previously ran the Super Crypto Conference (SCC), a virtual blockchain conference for the region.
The inaugural Super Crypto Conference was held virtually in 2021, described by its organisers as a full-day programme built for technology, fintech, and blockchain companies, key opinion leaders, media, and crypto enthusiasts. It gathered a large slate of fintech and blockchain speakers from across Asia and beyond, with a stated aim of building awareness of blockchain opportunities in Southeast Asia. Asian Blockchain Festival can be understood as a later, expanded entry in that same line of events.
Reporting from the period covering the Super Crypto Conference is available via HedgeThink and event listings such as ICOholder. General information about the organiser is on the SuperCryptoNews website.
The programme was built around panel discussions and talks led by industry participants from the region and beyond.
The festival's sessions brought together founders, executives, and specialists working across the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry, with a particular focus on people active in the Southeast Asian market. Public reporting on the associated Super Crypto Conference noted speakers from companies such as Novum Alpha, Pundix, Draper Goren Holm, and Polkadot's ambassador network, among more than fifty fintech and blockchain figures drawn from over forty countries.
Out of respect for the individuals involved, this archive does not reproduce the original speaker profiles, photographs, or private details. What it preserves is the shape of the programme: a conference organised around expert-led panels on the themes below.
The agenda mixed the speculative topics that dominated headlines in that period with more grounded questions specifically relevant to Southeast Asian markets:
Many of these themes have become standard reference topics in the years since.

The event worked with media and ecosystem partners from across the region.
As an event run by a news outlet, Asian Blockchain Festival drew on SuperCryptoNews's own media reach along with partner organisations that helped with programming and promotion within the Southeast Asian blockchain community.
This archive does not display partner logos or imply any current relationship with those organisations. Any partnerships described the state of the event at the time it ran, not an ongoing arrangement.
Sponsorship helped fund the event and gave companies visibility with attendees.
As with most industry conferences, sponsorship was part of how the festival operated — offering companies a way to present themselves to a regional audience of blockchain and cryptocurrency participants across Southeast Asia.

Alongside the talks, the event included an exhibition area for projects to present themselves to attendees.
The exhibition component gave projects a space to showcase their products and ideas — through booths, promotional materials, and networking with attendees and other exhibitors. In keeping with the virtual and hybrid formats common at the time, this included digital materials and online interaction as well as physical presence.
This archive describes the format only. It does not list, endorse, or reproduce the branding of any company, project, or organisation that took part.
The original event provided contact options for attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.
When the festival was active, this section was used to get in touch about attending, exhibiting, or sponsoring, through the organiser SuperCryptoNews. Because the event is no longer running, there is nothing to book or arrange here.
