At Consensus 2026 in Hong Kong, Amber Group was at the center of the industry’s most important discussions and initiatives. Over an intensive week, our leadership delivered more than a dozen speaking engagements, hosted high-level private forums, and actively collaborated with global thought leaders, clients, and partners. Through these platforms, we showcased the power of the unified ‘One Amber’ ecosystem and demonstrated our commitment to pioneering the future of finance at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto.

Shaping Thought Leadership at Consensus Hong Kong

Amber Group wasn’t just present at Consensus Hong Kong—we helped lead the conversation. Each engagement underscored our conviction that the next era of global finance will be defined by the convergence of AI innovation and robust crypto infrastructure.

Vicky Wang (President, Amber Premium): The Institutional Pivot & The Machine Economy

The Institutional Pivot

From Speculation to Sophistication

The market’s narrative is changing. Institutional investors and family offices are moving beyond speculative approaches, seeking sophistication, robust structure, and long-term value through advanced financial engineering.

• Beyond Directional Bets: The era of simple buy-and-hold is giving way to market-neutral and yield-based strategies that deliver resilience amid volatility.

• The ‘Digital Gold’ Mandate: Crypto has advanced from a fringe idea to a core “Digital Gold” or high-growth allocation for sophisticated family offices. Flexible risk approaches now back long-term, high-conviction positioning across the market.

• Structured Success: Demand for regulated, structured digital asset products is accelerating. Investors increasingly seek digital asset exposure packaged with the safety, compliance, and familiarity of traditional vehicles.

"We are witnessing a fundamental shift in capital entry. It’s no longer about high-conviction ‘bets’; it’s about a strategic entry designed to build the infrastructure and familiarity required for a digital-first financial era."
— Vicky Wang, ConsensusHK 2026

The Machine Economy

AI as the Engine, Crypto as the Rail

Amber Group’s roots run deep in artificial intelligence—we started as Amber AI—and we have maintained dedicated in-house AI capabilities from the very beginning. At Consensus 2026, we highlighted how the convergence of AI and crypto is no longer a future aspiration, but a present reality—and a central theme for Amber’s growth.

• Short-Term: AI for Crypto
  We leverage AI to optimize trading, risk management, and operational efficiency, delivering tangible value for clients, partners, and the wider digital asset ecosystem.

• Long-Term: Crypto for AI
  As AI systems gain autonomy, blockchain technology is emerging as the settlement layer of the “Machine Economy.” In this new era, AI agents will transact autonomously—enabled by the security, speed, and transparency of smart contracts.

"In the future, AI agents won't use credit cards—they will settle transactions via smart contracts. Crypto isn’t just an asset class; it is the native financial layer of the machine economy."
— Vicky Wang, ConsensusHK 2026
