The

Kong
Convention
and
Exhibition
Centre
will
be
playing
host
to
Consensus
Hong
Kong
in
February
2025,
CoinDesk
announced
today.
“Asia
stands
as
a
global
powerhouse
for
Web3,

tens
of
millions
of
crypto
users,

developers,
and
governments
at

said
Foster

president
of
CoinDesk,
in
a
press
release.
“Hong
Kong
has
strategically
positioned
itself
as
a
pivotal
digital
assets
hub
in
this
dynamic
region.
Consensus
has
consistently
served
as
a
global
event,
bringing
together
all
facets
of
the
cryptocurrency,
blockchain,
and
Web3
community.”
Hong
Kong
has
been
praised
for
its
legal
clarity
regarding
digital
assets.
While
it
does
lag
behind
some
jurisdictions
on
rules
for
things
like
stablecoins,
officials
say
change
is
coming.
“Hong
Kong
is
on
an
exciting
journey
of
Web3
evolution
as
we
embrace
frontier
technologies
such
as
real-world
assets
(RWA)
tokenization
from
investment
warrants
to
real
estate
to
intellectual
property
to
deliver
new
impact
in
financial
services
as
well
as
other
economic
sectors,”
King
Leung,
Head
of
Financial
Services
and
FinTech
of
InvestHK
said
in
a
statement.
“The
arrival
of
Consensus
is
a
testament
to
Hong
Kong’s
world-class
aspiration
and
development
in
our
Web3
sector,
which
continues
to
attract
entrepreneurs,
talent,
and
investment.”
The
Consensus
conference
in
North
America
is
celebrating
its
tenth
anniversary
this
year,
returning
for
a
third
consecutive
time
to
Austin,
Texas
