Following the sell-out of tickets for the inaugural conference in 2025, CoinDesk's Consensus conference announced its return to Hong Kong from February 10 to 12, 2026. The first conference attracted nearly 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries and regions, contributing approximately HKD 275 million to the Hong Kong economy.

Tokenization of the Earth: Guests include Carlos Domingo (Securitize), Ian De Bode (Ondo), and Naveen Mallela (JPMorgan).
Ensuring a Multi-Chain Future: David Tse (Babylon) and Evan Cheng (Mysten Labs) will discuss how Bitcoin re-staking redefines L1 and L2 architecture.
Artificial intelligence is disrupting the mining industry in the United States: Asher Genoot and Mike Ho (American Bitcoin) as well as Irene Gao (Bitmain) will discuss power allocation.
The future development of Ethereum: Hsiao-Wei Wang (Ethereum Foundation) and Sandy Peng (Scroll) will share insights on scalability and user experience.
