Main Takeaway: TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 was a two-day crypto conference at Marina Bay Sands on 7 and 8 October, and ELLIPAL was on the exhibition floor. The ELLIPAL booth put two cold wallets in visitors' hands: ELLIPAL Titan 2.0, which signs by scanning QR codes, and ELLIPAL X Card, which signs with a tap.

What Was TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026?
TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 sold out before opening, according to the organizer's 6 October announcement, with 25,000 attendees from 160 countries, 250 speakers across six stages and 500 exhibitors. TOKEN2049 Institutional, a private gathering for senior leaders from global finance and digital assets, made its debut on 8 October.
Coverage of the TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 stage program put stablecoins, tokenization, AI agents and institutional adoption near the top of the agenda. Hundreds of side events ran across the city that week, leading into the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix weekend.
What ELLIPAL Brought to TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026
ELLIPAL returned to TOKEN2049 Singapore in 2026 with a booth built around one thing: trying the signing step yourself. Visitors could scan a QR code with ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 or tap ELLIPAL X Card against a phone and see for themselves how a transaction gets signed.
ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 is a cold wallet with a touchscreen. ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 has no Wi-Fi, no Bluetooth and no USB data connection, so transaction data moves between the phone and the device through QR codes. The Titan 2.0 camera reads the unsigned transaction, the screen shows its details for review, and a signed QR code goes back to the phone. Private keys are generated and stored offline inside a secure chip.
ELLIPAL X Card is an NFC cold wallet in card form. NFC (near field communication) is the short-range radio behind contactless taps. ELLIPAL X Card has no battery, no USB port, no Bluetooth and no internet connection, and it signs when you tap it against your phone with the ELLIPAL App open. Wallet setup happens on a small offline device called the Starter, so the seed phrase is created away from the phone.
The two wallets sat side by side on the same table, each with its own way of signing. Different tools. Same mission.
Why Hands-On Matters for Self-Custody
Self-custody is easier to understand with a device in your hand than on a slide. Much of the TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 stage program dealt with how institutions, stablecoins and tokenized assets fit into finance. A self-custody wallet answers a smaller and more personal question, which is who holds the keys to the coins you own. Watching a QR code carry a transaction to a device, or a card sign with one tap, makes that answer concrete in a few seconds. The questions visitors brought to the ELLIPAL booth go back to the ELLIPAL product team.

Which Situation Matches Yours
- You want to review every detail on a dedicated screen. ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 shows the transaction on its own display before you sign.
- You want a cold wallet that lives in your everyday wallet. ELLIPAL X Card signs with a tap and needs no charging.
- You already have a seed phrase. Both ELLIPAL wallets follow BIP39, so you can restore an existing seed phrase and keep going.
- You missed the booth. Our guides to clear signing and NFC cold wallets walk through the same steps.
FAQ
I missed TOKEN2049. How can I see how ELLIPAL signing works?
The signing flow shown at the booth is the same one you use at home. On ELLIPAL Titan 2.0, you scan a QR code, review the transaction on the device screen and show the signed QR code to your phone. On ELLIPAL X Card, you enter your PIN in the ELLIPAL App and tap the card. The ELLIPAL Help Center has step-by-step setup guides for both.
Which ELLIPAL wallet should I start with?
Start with the one that matches how you hold and use crypto. ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 suits people who want a dedicated screen and QR code signing at a desk. ELLIPAL X Card suits people who want a card they can carry and sign with a tap. Each one works on its own, and some people keep both for different parts of their holdings.
Where can I buy ELLIPAL Titan 2.0 or ELLIPAL X Card?
Both are sold through the official ELLIPAL store at ellipal.com, where current prices are listed on each product page. Set the wallet up yourself when it arrives, so the seed phrase is created on your own device during setup. A seed phrase that arrives printed in the box, or that someone asks you to type into a website, is a reason to stop.
What happens if I lose my ELLIPAL wallet?
Your crypto lives on the blockchain, and the wallet holds the keys that control it. The seed phrase you wrote down during setup, a list of 12 to 24 words, recreates those keys on a new compatible wallet. Keep that backup somewhere separate from the device. Our guide on what happens if you lose your hardware wallet covers the recovery steps.
Will ELLIPAL be at other crypto events?
ELLIPAL exhibits at major crypto conferences through the year, and TOKEN2049 Singapore 2026 followed Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas and Consensus 2026 in Miami earlier this year. Upcoming events are announced on ELLIPAL's official X account, @ELLIPAL, and on ellipal.com. If you see us on the floor, stop by and try a scan or a tap.
