According to Michael Lau on Twitter, the Consensus conference will return to Hong Kong from February 10-12, 2026, occupying the largest hall of the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Center (source: Michael Lau, Twitter, May 14, 2025). As one of the most influential global blockchain and cryptocurrency events, this move signals strong institutional and industry confidence in Hong Kong's role as a crypto trading hub. Traders can expect heightened regional trading volumes, increased institutional participation, and potential short-term market volatility around the event as major announcements and partnerships are typically unveiled during Consensus. The announcement also strengthens Hong Kong's reputation as a regulatory-friendly environment for digital assets, likely attracting new trading platforms and liquidity providers.
