Digital Assets Week (DA Week), the executive-level institutional capital markets series, returns to Hong Kong on 4 February 2026 at The Gala Muse, Victoria Dockside, with Arta Global Markets as Host Partner.
DA Week is designed for decision makers across banks, asset managers and owners, market-infrastructure leaders and regulators. The programme focuses on what is live or going live in issuance, trading, custody and settlement, with sessions built to lead to clear next steps. Vendor presence is capped, content is anchored in delivery and regulatory clarity, and networking is structured so relevant counterparties meet and progress work. DA Week is the only conference that is bridging the gap between financial institutions, infrastructure providers and regulatory bodies in the efforts to make advancements in digitization and tokenization of all asset classes and institutionalizing digital assets.
The Hong Kong agenda will be centred on the theme of Capital Markets Transformation. The event will explore:
- What it takes to build real trading depth in capital markets
- How banks, asset managers, and crypto platforms are re-engineering liquidity, credit and collateral in ways that could redefine market structure itself
- How money moves across internal systems: instant settlement vs. legacy rails, reconciling balance sheets, and plugging into payment flow
- Liquidity windows, risk, and why tMMFs might become the real driver of stablecoin demand
- Board-level policy, custody and accounting, risk limits, and how Hong Kong’s regulatory and banking setup can make this strategy executable
- SFC-regulated virtual asset and tokenisation topics such as VA dealing, custody and the treatment of tokenised securities and funds
- What firms need to do now to operate, distribute and scale products in Hong Kong ● Where issuers and investors are finding the most real-world traction
- What it will take for Asia’s institutional markets to convert interest into sustained capital flows and which product categories are driving adoption
- Cross-border FX, repo, trade finance – which ones have real commercial traction?
DA Week expects executives from HSBC, J.P. Morgan, BlackRock, Fidelity International, Invesco, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Citi, Goldman Sachs, State Street, BNY Mellon, DBS, OCBC, UOB, Bank of China (Hong Kong), ICBC, Hang Seng Bank, ZA Bank, China Asset Management (Hong Kong), CSOP Asset Management, Mirae Asset and Ant Group, with engagement from HKMA, SFC and HKEX.
