Consensus Hong Kong 2026: Key Sessions, Policymakers, and Institutional Trends (HKG2026)

On February 11–12, 2026, CoinDesk’s Consensus Hong Kong 2026 will convene over 10,000 attendees and 350 speakers across five stages, focusing on tokenization, stablecoins, AI, and other blockchain applications amid recent crypto volatility. Bitcoin fell from above $95,000 to near $60,000 before rebounding to about $70,000 within weeks, reflecting ongoing price swings. Policymakers including Hong Kong Chief Executive John KC Lee, legislator Johnny Ng, and SFC CEO Julia Leung will discuss drafting crypto-focused regulations in the SAR. Industry leaders such as Animoca’s Yat Siu, Solana’s Lily Liu, and BitMine’s Tom Lee will outline current status and near-term trends. Speakers note that blockchains are increasingly becoming financial infrastructure, with institutions like Robinhood exploring ways to support institutional clients through blockchain.
