Liquidity 2026, Hong Kong successfully hosts... Global institutions discuss the future integration of digital assets and traditional finance

The global financial institutions’ summit on the future of digital assets and traditional finance was held in Hong Kong. Organized by LTP Hong Kong, the annual flagship Digital Asset Summit “Liquidity 2026” successfully took place on February 9 at the JW Marriott Hotel in Hong Kong. This event is the fourth since 2023 and is part of LTP’s ongoing effort to share industry trends in digital assets on the global stage, starting from Hong Kong.

Liquidity 2026 brought together senior representatives from leading global institutions such as hedge funds, market makers, high-frequency trading firms, family offices, asset management companies, exchanges, custodians, banks, and technology service providers. It is seen as evidence of the accelerating integration between the digital asset market and traditional finance.

The one-day summit featured keynote speeches, fireside chats, and in-depth roundtable discussions. Speakers and attendees engaged in lively exchanges on topics including the evolution of the global financial system, the rise of asset tokenization, and the rapid convergence of multi-asset ecosystems. Particularly amid ongoing market volatility, the strategic integration of digital assets and traditional finance by institutional investors was a key focus.

Participants discussed emerging opportunities in the deepening adoption of digital assets by institutions, as well as potential new structures and paradigms for future financial markets. There was a consensus that digital assets and traditional finance are not separate fields but are evolving into a complementary structure.

At the conclusion of the event, a shared understanding emerged: infrastructure development, ongoing communication with regulators, and inter-institutional collaboration are the core variables determining the sustainable development of the digital asset industry at this pivotal point in reshaping the global financial environment. Attendees noted that Liquidity 2026 is not only a discussion platform but also an important milestone in the industry’s move toward standardization, institutionalization, and integration into mainstream finance.

LTP believes that the digital asset industry is transitioning from a phase of excessive expectations and short-term hype into a more mature period. Therefore, now is the optimal time for infrastructure, compliance, and sustainable innovation to take root. Long-term value creation does not stem from eye-catching hotspots but from the foundational systems quietly supporting market operations.

LTP states that from 2023 to 2026, it has consistently looked beyond regional markets, actively engaging in the structural, institutional, and regulatory changes in the digital asset industry from a global perspective. The successful hosting of Liquidity 2026 is seen as another milestone in this long-term effort to promote the integration of digital assets with traditional finance.

Looking ahead, LTP plans to continue expanding investment in ecosystem development, focusing on building more resilient infrastructure and open collaboration environments. With coordinated progress in infrastructure expansion, regulatory engagement, and institutional cooperation, the digital asset market is becoming healthier, more professional, and gradually integrating into mainstream finance.

LTP points out that although Liquidity 2026 has concluded, the journey of deep integration between digital assets and traditional finance is only entering a critical mid-term phase. As a long-term participant and observer, it will continue to invest resources in ecosystem cultivation and industry dialogue to contribute to the next decade of digital assets. A detailed post-event report, including core roundtable discussions and key speaker insights, will be released later.
