Consensus Hong Kong 2026

Consensus, recognized as the world’s longest-running gathering for the cryptocurrency industry established its footprint in Asia with a debut Hong Kong edition in 2025.

• The 2026 event aims to connect decision-makers, investors, and founders through a series of regulatory roundtables, capital strategy sessions, and technical deep dives.
• According to the organizers, the conference serves as a bridge between East and West. It aims to position Hong Kong as a central stage for institutional participation in digital asset markets.
• Key program tracks will focus on Stablecoins and Tokenization, alongside interactive activations such as the “Consensus Cup” at the Hong Kong Jockey Club and an institutional summit in partnership with SALT.

Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus, stated that the event brings together complementary audiences, from regulators to developers:

“I am delighted to welcome Solana Accelerate to the fold. The energy and innovation of Solana’s developer and founder community will perfectly complement the Consensus audience.”
