Hong Kong, 16 February, 2026 — Hex Trust, a leading digital assets financial service provider specialising in markets services, custody, and staking, has successfully concluded its role as a prominent sponsor of Consensus Hong Kong 2026. Throughout the event, the company engaged with global industry leaders and participated in high-level discussions regarding the future of regulated digital asset infrastructure.
Strategic Engagement and Industry Dialogue
During the two-day conference, Hex Trust hosted a significant number of delegates at its dedicated exhibition space. These interactions fostered concrete conversations centred on the evolution of institutional-grade custody and the integration of digital assets into traditional wealth management frameworks.
A key highlight of the event was the official unveiling of Aura by Hex Trust, a digital asset wealth platform designed for professional investors seeking a relationship-led experience. Built on Hex Trust's licensed and insured custody infrastructure, Aura provides a secure environment for clients to move beyond passive holding toward active wealth creation through staking, DeFi strategies, and fixed-term earn products. The platform is the first to integrate a comprehensive suite of crypto-native estate planning solutions, including private trusts and insurance, all supported by a "white-glove" service model featuring dedicated Relationship Managers.
Leadership Insights on the Main Stage and Global Media
The firm’s leadership provided critical commentary on the shifting dynamics of the Web3 economy:
CEO and Co-Founder Alessio Quaglini participated in a panel on the Auros mainstage, with Mark Greenberg from Kraken, Rok Kobb from EtherFi and Liam Murphy from Wachsman (Moderator), discussing the rise of crypto "neobanks". He advocated for the abstraction of blockchain complexity, suggesting that the technology should function as a sophisticated "back-office" layer to improve financial efficiency while maintaining a familiar user experience.
Hex Trust proudly sponsored the CoinDesk Live broadcast throughout the event. Both Quaglini and Chief Product Officer & Head of Custody Giorgia Pellizzari were featured on CoinDesk Live. Quaglini highlighted the necessity of robust regulation and asset segregation to build long-term market trust. Pellizzari provided a data-driven perspective on market efficiency, noting the limitations of traditional trading hours compared to the 24/7 nature of digital asset rails.
Institutional Networking and Collaboration
In a move to strengthen industry ties, Hex Trust co-hosted an exclusive networking event in Central alongside the Jito Foundation and Bitwise Asset Management. The gathering welcomed over 150 guests, facilitating high-level collaboration between key players in the Solana and institutional investment ecosystems.
The conclusion of Consensus Hong Kong 2026 marks the beginning of a significant year for Hex Trust as it continues to expand its private wealth and institutional service offerings. As the industry enters a new lunar year, Hex Trust remains committed to architecting the standards for a secure and compliant digital asset economy.
