BlackRock, HSBC, and Standard Chartered Spoke at HSC Asset Management as TradFi met Digital Assets in Hong Kong
HSC Asset Management, a premier conference bridging cryptocurrency and institutional finance, took place in Hong Kong on April 23, 2026.
The event brought together C-suite executives and senior decision-makers from venture capital, asset management, private equity, banking, payment providers, stablecoin issuers, and blockchain infrastructure platforms, with more than 50 speakers joining panel discussions.
The agenda spanned four core pillars: Global Risk and Capital Markets, Regulation and Compliance, Stablecoins and Tokenization, and The Future of Financial Institutions, covering topics from macroeconomic repricing and cross-border capital flows to blockchain-based settlement, DeFi, and the tokenization of financial instruments across public and private markets. Alongside the main sessions, an exclusive VIP Lounge facilitated private conversations, strategic introductions, and partnership opportunities between investors and founders.
