CoinDesk and SALT Partner to Establish the World's Premier Institutional Crypto Gathering
Consensus SALT Hong Kong Institutional Summit set for February 10, 2026, uniting world's leading asset managers and capital allocators
HONG KONG and NEW YORK, Nov. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CoinDesk, the leading media, events, indices, and data platform for the global crypto economy, and SALT, a premier community of institutional investors, creators and thought leaders, today announced a strategic partnership to launch the Consensus x SALT Hong Kong Institutional Summit. The summit will take place on February 10, 2026 at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong, one day before the main exhibition days of Consensus Hong Kong, the world's largest and longest-serving event for crypto, AI and blockchain.
Independently, both SALT and CoinDesk's Consensus events attract key decision-makers actively evaluating frontier technologies and allocating capital to the digital asset ecosystem. By combining forces, the organizations will unite the most influential institutional investors, asset managers and capital allocators in the world under one banner at one event.
The Consensus x SALT Hong Kong Institutional Summit will draw an international investor audience, with a significant focus on the APAC region, making it an invaluable hub for learning, business development, capital allocation and peer-to-peer networking. Operating under strict Chatham House Rule, the Summit is designed for high-level engagement that includes: a proprietary meeting app, one-on-one meetings, expert-led roundtables, and keynotes from the most important leaders in crypto.
Anthony Scaramucci, Founder and Chairman of SALT, said "Digital asset investments are now firmly on the menu for global institutional asset allocators, following a year of tremendous regulatory progress. As significant fund allocators ourselves, we take pride in helping fellow investors navigate the crypto landscape. We look forward to working with CoinDesk and Consensus, the oldest and most prestigious conference brand in digital finance, to deliver Asia's premier institutional platform. Consensus Hong Kong has instantly become a must-attend event, and we look forward to taking the institutional track to the next level."
"Institutional participation has been a defining narrative for digital assets. Our partnership with SALT combines two unparalleled networks of preeminent asset allocators and owners to create the premier institutional gathering the market has been demanding. I'm excited to bring the world's most significant decision-makers and capital allocators together under one roof, especially in the global financial hub of Hong Kong," said Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus.
The partnership builds on momentum from Consensus Hong Kong's sold-out 2025 debut, which drew nearly 10,000 attendees from 102 countries - representing more than $4T in combined AUM - and generated an estimated HK$275M in economic impact for Hong Kong.
