OLA at Consensus Hong Kong 2026: Web3, AI, and Real Asset Trends

The 2026 edition of Consensus Hong Kong has officially begun, establishing itself as the epicenter of technological and financial debate in the region. During the first days, the event has reflected the dominant trends in the Web3 sector, highlighting the evolution of regulatory infrastructure and the integration of new technologies into industry operational flows.

Dominant Trends and Narratives

A preliminary analysis of the sessions and parallel meetings allows us to identify a shift in the priorities of the Asian market for this year.

Regulation and Compliance: There is a predominant presence of entities linked to legal frameworks, compliance, and exchange platforms, both centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX). This trend underscores the pursuit of a more robust and secure environment for investment.

Institutional Adoption: The event’s focus has shifted towards integrating large capital and traditional structures into the blockchain ecosystem.

Gaming Sector: Contrary to previous editions, there is a reported reduced participation of projects exclusively focused on Web3 gaming during this initial phase of the event.

OLAGG Participation and Event Representation

OLAGG is present at Consensus Hong Kong 2026 with representation by Changzer, who participates as Key Account Manager and content creator, a role that allows him to interact directly with projects, listen to builders, and obtain strategic insights on emerging ecosystem trends.

His participation has focused on connecting with creators and key players, as well as capturing valuable information about the direction the industry is taking.

The Rise of Real World Assets (RWA)

The tokenization of physical assets (Real World Assets) has emerged as one of the pillars of current development. Beyond conventional real estate tokenization, interest has diversified towards more agile sectors:

• Collectibles and Trading Cards: New models of fractional ownership and on-chain traceability for collectible assets are being introduced.
• Liquidity: These models aim to activate traditionally illiquid markets, allowing investors and digital communities easier access to tangible assets.

Artificial Intelligence as a Cross-Cutting Theme

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has stopped being an isolated narrative and has become an essential technical component in almost all discussions. Key integration points include:

• Product Development: Optimization of deployment times and infrastructure creation.
• AI Agents: Implementation of autonomous operational flows for decision-making and task automation in both on-chain and off-chain environments.

Geographical Diversity and Professional Interaction

Consensus Hong Kong 2026 features high international representation, with a steady flow of developers, infrastructure providers, liquidity providers (liquidity providers), and founders seeking capital. Participants come mainly from:

• Asia: China, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, and India.
• Europe: Representation from various European delegations.

This diversity fosters an environment of organic collaboration, where strategic connections are being established that will guide the ecosystem for the rest of the year.

Environment and Expectations

First impressions from the field reflect an atmosphere of collaboration, openness, and willingness to engage. Participants have highlighted opportunities to share ideas, establish meaningful contacts, and explore potential alliances in a context that combines technological innovation with pragmatic discussions on regulation and real implementation of Web3 solutions.

Consensus Hong Kong 2026 consolidates its position as one of the most relevant events in the Web3 ecosystem in Asia, with a diversified focus on tokenization of real-world assets, AI integration, regulatory discussion, and institutional participation.
