The Rise of Crypto Private Banking: A New Era for Financial Innovation

At the Consensus Hong Kong 2026 summit, Hotpot Technologies' CEO Livio Weng shared remarkable progress in the company's crypto private banking services. Since the brand upgrade in November 2025, the number of clients has surpassed 500, with a monthly compound growth rate reaching up to 52.8%. The primary client base consists of listed companies, their executives, family offices, and ultra-high-net-worth individuals.

This innovative crypto private banking model has positioned Hotpot Technologies as one of the fastest-growing licensed crypto service providers in Hong Kong since 2025, setting a new benchmark for compliance-driven development across the industry.

Hong Kong's Web3 Acceleration: Policy and Market Synergy

According to Livio Weng, Hong Kong's Web3 sector has experienced steady growth from 2022 to 2025. While it hasn't seen explosive growth, the sector has maintained stability without major risk incidents. This steady trajectory has created a solid foundation for further policy development.

Recently, Hong Kong has rolled out a series of digital asset policies covering areas such as stablecoin regulatory frameworks, exchange margin trading, and contract trading. These policies aim to enhance market liquidity and resolve current pricing and depth issues within Hong Kong's trading markets.

Future Outlook: Liquidity Meets Compliance

Livio Weng emphasized that liquidity is a critical indicator of market activity. After three years of exploration and practice, Hong Kong's regulatory authorities have accurately identified market risks and core needs, accelerating the pace of compliance policy development to drive high-quality growth in Hong Kong's digital asset market.

  • Crypto private banking drives innovation in the industry
  • Regulatory policies continuously improve, boosting market confidence
  • Liquidity enhancement is key to high-quality market development

With the joint push from policy and market dynamics, Hong Kong is gradually emerging as a key player in the digital asset arena, shaping a clearer roadmap for the future of global crypto economy.
