The event will attract an international audience, with a special focus on the APAC region, offering high-level engagement through one-on-one meetings via a proprietary event app, expert-led roundtables, and keynote presentations from leading figures in crypto, blockchain, and AI.
Elevating institutional participation in crypto
Anthony Scaramucci, Founder and Chairman of SALT, emphasized the rising role of digital assets for institutional investors.
“Digital asset investments are now firmly on the menu for global institutional allocators, following a year of tremendous regulatory progress,”
he said. The partnership with Consensus aims to establish the institutional track in Hong Kong as the premier platform for asset managers exploring cryptocurrency markets.
Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus, added that institutional involvement is a defining narrative for digital assets.
“Our partnership with SALT combines two unparalleled networks of preeminent asset allocators and owners to create the premier institutional gathering the market has been demanding,”
he said, highlighting Hong Kong as a key global financial hub.
Building on Hong Kong’s growing crypto ecosystem
The 2025 Consensus Hong Kong debut drew nearly 10,000 participants from 102 countries, representing over $4 trillion in combined assets under management, and generated an estimated HK$275 million in economic impact. The 2026 institutional summit aims to build on this momentum, providing a dedicated platform for global investors to engage with the crypto ecosystem.
Supporting this ecosystem, the Hong Kong Legislative Council recently issued a special bulletin outlining new policy directions in digital finance, emphasizing the rising prominence of stablecoins, including those pegged to China’s renminbi (RMB).
