Liquidity 2026 in a Nutshell

Liquidity 2026 was an infrastructure-first summit on how digital assets and tokenized products can fit into traditional markets. The program, held on 9 February 2026 at the JW Marriott in Hong Kong, focused on what institutional adoption requires: clear risk frameworks for collateral, enforceable ownership, resilient custody and settlement, and exchange mechanics that hold up in a 24/7 market.

Organizers promoted a large institutional turnout, with more than 1,000 in-person attendees and 400+ institutions represented. Speakers argued that demand is shaping the product roadmap for institutions: more digital and tokenized assets are being added to multi-asset setups but only with defined risk limits, consistent execution, reliable settlement and dependable custody.

As Adrian Tan put it, "It's always about user demand. If there's demand, you build the product to serve it. You don't try to sell a product that has no demand." Panels drilled into what makes an asset eligible as collateral and where it can fail.
