Lunar New Year has just passed, and the entire crypto world’s focus has shifted to Asia’s financial hub. On February 10, 2026, the CoinDesk Consensus Conference will kick off in Hong Kong. Following last year’s inaugural event, which was fully booked and attracted nearly 10,000 global participants, this year’s scale will double — over 15,000 industry heavyweights, institutional executives, and project teams are expected to gather.

This grand event brings together over a hundred top institutions and ecosystem projects, including a leading exchange, Solana Foundation, Grayscale Investments, JPMorgan Chase, and more, covering six major thematic stages. The agenda centers around cutting-edge topics such as institutional-grade applications, DeFi ecosystems, asset tokenization innovation, and the deep integration of AI and blockchain. When so much wisdom, capital, and innovation collide in a short period, it often signals the birth of new opportunities and market hotspots.

But for ordinary investors holding crypto assets, practical issues are often overlooked: while industry giants are on stage outlining grand blueprints, do our assets have to passively follow market sentiment and fluctuate with the trend, or is there a way to build a stable value-adding system that can withstand hot spot rotations and not affect the fundamentals?

The answer is yes. Instead of frequently chasing various short-term opportunities, it’s better to leverage mature decentralized financial infrastructure to create a robust "asset value engine" for yourself. These DeFi protocols have already been tested by the market and offer a more pragmatic and sustainable path for wealth growth. Compared to passive waiting, proactive action clearly aligns better with current market logic.

Hong Kong Conference is coming again, sounds grand, but in the end, we retail investors still have to figure things out ourselves. DeFi is indeed much more reliable than just chasing trends. Building value-added systems sounds nice, but the key is to choose the right protocols and avoid pitfalls. 15,000 people gathering together—will this be another node where the next trend emerges... However, I am more concerned about how to position ourselves before the trend arrives. When the big players are drawing their blueprints, we are making money—that's the right way to open up. That's right, instead of constantly watching news and chasing hot topics, it's better to settle down and study those DeFi infrastructures that stand the test of time.

Hong Kong is hosting another conference, this time with double the scale... Sounds lively, but honestly, the big players' pie-in-the-sky plans and our role as the bagholders are a recurring scene every year. The real question is how to protect your principal from this round of hype. Don't just follow the trend and chase the hot spots; having some DeFi infrastructure is the real key. 15,000 people are discussing AI integration and tokenization, and we're just sitting here waiting for the market reaction... It's better to proactively develop some stable and appreciating strategies. By the way, the market fluctuations before and after such conferences are really easy to manipulate, and those with a systematic approach are better able to withstand pressure. While the institutions are outlining grand blueprints on stage, we should be thinking about how not to be overwhelmed by emotional swings. DeFi mining, for example, is genuinely about steady returns, unlike chasing new coins which relies entirely on luck.

Sounds like another feast for the big shots; retail investors still have to rely on themselves. --- 15,000 people crowding into Hong Kong—just a frenzy before the launch? --- Instead of waiting for the wind to blow, better to first get your DeFi portfolio in order. --- The conference scale doubles; can the token prices double as well? That's the question. --- JPMorgan Chase is here, indicating that traditional finance is finally taking it seriously. --- Building an asset engine sounds good, but the prerequisite is choosing the right protocol. --- The consensus conference gets bigger every year; it feels like the hot topics are also becoming more scattered. --- Institutions are描绘ing the future, while we are betting on the next wave of market movement—there's a huge gap in the pattern. --- DeFi stable appreciation system? Bro, are you trying to tell me not to chase the hot trends? --- Hong Kong has risen; Asia's crypto ecosystem is really about to take off. --- Instead of going on-site to ride the hype, it's better to study how to profit steadily.

Hong Kong is hosting another conference, this time with double the scale? Sounds lively, but retail investors still have to rely on themselves. --- While the big shots are telling stories, we need to learn to earn passively; otherwise, we'll always be cut by the leek farmers. --- Can DeFi really be stable? It still seems like it depends on the project team avoiding rug pulls. --- Instead of waiting for the consensus conference to hit the spotlight, why not put your idle funds to work now and earn interest? After all, idling is just idling. --- JPMorgan Chase is here... Could this be another prelude to a round of leek-cutting? --- The asset value engine sounds good, but how do you hedge the risks? Has anyone actually succeeded with this logic? --- Over 15,000 people gathered. I bet this will be a good opportunity to build a position; someone will definitely sell off at that time. --- Don't just listen to their hype; the key is to have your own system. Otherwise, no matter how many conferences you attend, it's all pointless.

Hong Kong is about to make a big move again, with 15,000 people gathering... Even JPMorgan is joining the fun, it feels like someone is about to get cut for the third time haha The idea of DeFi stable value appreciation has been heard too many times, the key is to choose the right project, otherwise it will still go to zero The big shots are bragging on stage, but we need to learn how to self-rescue from below Before that, we must study thoroughly, or else following the trend will be doomed However, AI + blockchain is indeed quite interesting, we need to keep a close eye on it With such high enthusiasm for the Hong Kong conference, there should be quite a few short-term opportunities In the end, it still depends on your own research, don’t expect the conference to give you direct opportunities to make money
