For the second time, Nuanu Creative City in Bali takes the spotlight as the host of Coinfest Asia — the world’s largest crypto and Web3 festival — reinforcing its appeal as a thriving hub for global and local traders, innovators, and Web3 pioneers. Nestled on the serene southwest coast of Bali in Tabanan, a 44-hectare future-forward ecosystem that is rapidly becoming Southeast Asia’s go-to destination for global gatherings.
“We’re glad to have Coinfest Asia back at Nuanu,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu Creative City. “It’s the first time they’ve chosen to return to the same venue, and that says a lot. Nuanu was built to host events that bring together forward-thinking communities, and Coinfest fits right into that. Last year was a strong start and this year, we’re scaling it up with more spaces, more stay options, and a much bigger audience.”
In 2024, Coinfest Asia welcomed over 6,000 from all across the globe. This year, with expanded infrastructure and venue offerings at Nuanu, the 2025 edition is expected to host over 10,000 attendees from over 90 countries, turning the creative city into a buzzing village of Web3 builders, investors, creators and changemakers.
This year’s theme, “Full Moon”, reflects the renewed optimism in the Web3 space as post-halving momentum builds and a bullish new era begins. Aligned with this energy, Nuanu continues to evolve — embracing innovation not just for progress, but for real social impact. From Web3 to electric mobility, Nuanu is a living ecosystem for transformative ideas. The return of Coinfest Asia marks its role as more than a venue, but a catalyst for the future of technology, sustainability, and global connection.
Featuring a powerhouse lineup of global leaders driving the future of Web3, here are the FIRST REVEAL of confirmed speakers include Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen; Yat Siu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands; Mega Septiandara, Governance Lead at dYdX Foundation; Kenneth Shek, Head of Strategy at Moca Network; Amanda Cassatt, Founder and CEO of Serotonin; Saad Ahmed, Head of Asia Pacific at Gemini; Victor Ji, Co-Founder of Manta Network; Wei Zhou, CEO of Coins.ph; Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet; Ella, Head of APAC at Berachain; and Alice Kim, Director of Fintech and Payments at HBAR Foundation. More speakers will be announced as the full agenda unfolds.
“Full Moon marks the turning point — where ideas break out of the dark and into the spotlight. It's a celebration of the Web3 movement, from Bitcoin to memecoins, and everything in between,” said Joditha, Head of Events at Indonesia Crypto Network, the organization producing the conference.
She continued, “If we want more people to adopt Web3, we need to create spaces where they can engage with it in a way that feels approachable. The moment we discovered Nuanu and stepped foot on site, we felt immediately welcomed and inspired. The positive feedback that we received last year from our speakers and guests that specifically called out what a spectacular venue it was, just made us think, well, we have to come back. As a constantly evolving concept celebrating the forefront of creativity, connection, culture and innovation, there is a lot of synergy between what Nuanu is doing and how Coinfest Asia aspires to change the world. We couldn’t think of a better backdrop to bring together the world’s brightest minds shaping the future of the Web3 movement.”
As Bali looks to welcome 17 million visitors in 2025, events like Coinfest Asia, anchored in innovation, culture, and global connectivity, are redefining the island’s global identity. Nuanu Creative City is proud to play a leading role in that transformation.

This curated journey invites women to explore Nuanu’s unique spaces, including a guided tour revealing the vision behind Nuanu, a trek through Bali’s first multimedia park “Aurora Media Park” where art installations come to life at night, and a walk through the “Magic Garden”, home to Nuanu’s native flora and fauna.

Red Tent: She Unfolds
On International Women's Day, Nuanu Women hosted ‘She Unfolds’ at The Red Tent, a dedicated women-only space designed to dream, create and belong. The gathering brought together over 50 women for a day of deep connection, featuring an afternoon or renewal and rejuvenation curated by CHIKA Moments followed by an inspiring panel discussion with Kania Maniasa, Executive Director of the Green School Foundation, and Karunia Fischer, Founder of RIMMBA The Brand that was moderated by Audtiya Sari, Head of Nuanu Social Fund. Their conversation explored the power of sisterhood in breaking barriers and shaping the future.
The event also included a guided meditation and sound bath by Desak Putu Henny Suandyani with a special Performance by Tigra Rose, followed by the Fire Release Ceremony, where participants symbolically released limiting beliefs and societal pressures into the fire—a powerful act of reflection, renewal, and personal transformation.
"The Red Tent is a space shaped by women, created for women—to come together, create, grow, and simply be. On International Women’s Day, ‘She Unfolds’ became a true embodiment of that vision—a gathering filled with warmth, reflection, and sisterhood. More than just an event, it was a powerful expression of what happens when women connect in trust and solidarity. Through deep conversations, creative expression, and collective healing, we reclaimed space, celebrated our voices, and reinforced our commitment to fostering inclusive, supportive environments where women can thrive—not just for a day, but always." — The Red Tent Collective.
As Women’s Month continues, Nuanu reaffirms its dedication to art, culture, and female empowerment, celebrating the remarkable women from Bali, Indonesia, and beyond whose leadership and creativity are shaping its community.

Nuanu Creative City proudly announces the launch of Art & Bali 2025, the island’s first-of-its-kind international art fair, set to take place on 12 - 14 September 2025. As the global art world navigates an era of contrasting ideas, where narratives intersect between tradition and modernity, nature and technology, human and artificial intelligence – Art & Bali is Bridging Dichotomies, creating a bridge between global artistic expression and the island’s rich cultural landscape.
As an island which attracted 6.3 million international visitors in 2024 alone, Bali’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and strong international appeal make it the ideal setting for an art fair that connects local and global art communities.
“At Nuanu, our commitment to art extends beyond exhibition and education—it’s about creating a lasting ecosystem that supports artists, engages audiences, and pushes creative boundaries,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu Creative City. “Art & Bali is a natural extension of this vision, embracing communities, innovation, and the fusion of nature with digital art. The future of art isn’t just in white cube galleries—it’s in spaces that integrate creativity with the environment, and that’s exactly what we’re building.”
With Project Director Kelsang Dolma at the helm bringing with her a decade of experience working with the likes of India’s Serendipity Arts Festival, Saffron Art and the Indian Ceramics Triennale, Art & Bali will take over five distinct venues within Nuanu Creative City. From exhibition spaces, to immersive installations, and sustainable architecture, Art & Bali will be an art fair unlike any other. Designed to resonate with both seasoned collectors and cultural travelers, Art & Bali provides a new must-visit experience for Bali’s millions of international visitors while reinforcing the island’s role as a premier hub for creativity and innovation.
At its core, Art & Bali is committed to cementing Indonesian contemporary art on the global stage, providing a platform for emerging and established Indonesian artists to connect with international collectors, curators, galleries, and industry leaders. The fair also embraces the diversity of global creativity, bringing together artists, collectors, and institutions from across Southeast Asia and beyond.
“Art & Bali is a fresh approach to what an art fair can be, rooted in Bali’s cultural heritage while embracing contemporary and innovative practices. The ‘&’ symbolises connection, much like our theme, Bridging Dichotomies, which reflects our vision to foster deeper ties between Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and Bali’s artistic heritage with the global art scene. It is about people-to-people connections, bringing together artists, collectors, institutions, and industry leaders to create a truly global art community,” said Kelsang Dolma, Project Director, Art & Bali.
Whether you are an art enthusiast, collector, or simply looking for an unforgettable cultural experience, Art & Bali promises to be a highlight on the international art calendar.
