Hong Kong's role
The narrative
CoinDesk's annual Consensus Hong Kong conference will kick off this Wednesday with a speech from Hong Kong Chief Executive John KC Lee.
Why it matters
Hong Kong is playing an interesting role in the intersection of financial services between the global East and West. CoinDesk will be exploring that role at Consensus,
Breaking it down
We'll be hearing from Financial Secretary Paul Chan and Securities and Futures Commission Chief Executive Julia Leung on day one of Consensus, and having conversations around the growth of real-world asset tokenization, stablecoins and evolving payment systems and how exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Our speakers will include regulators and politicians from around the world, with panels looking at how both regulators and industry participants alike approach the sector — a conversation we've had every year at Consensus, but one that continues to evolve.
Privacy, artificial intelligence, decentralized finance and trading behaviors will also take one of the many stages throughout the conference.
It'll be part of a busy week ahead: SEC Chair Paul Atkins will be testifying before the House Financial Services and Senate Banking Committees. Though the hearings are focused on SEC oversight generally, expect crypto and Atkins' efforts to develop rulemakings around the sector to come up.
The White House is also convening yet another meeting between crypto and banking industry representatives. Not a lot of detail is available yet.
