Hong Kong FinTech Week Closes: HKMA Unveils Four Pushes, from Agentic Finance to Round-the-Clock Tokenised Settlement
The 11th Hong Kong FinTech Week 2026 was held from November 2 to 6, co-hosted by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and InvestHK. During the event, the HKMA announced new initiatives across four categories that set out the next steps for Hong Kong's fintech agenda.
The four categories are the application and governance of agentic finance; driving readiness for post-quantum cryptography (PQC); accelerating 24/7 settlement of tokenised transactions under Project Ensemble; and expanding cross-border payment connectivity. The HKMA's previously outlined DART framework also revolves around agentic finance, post-quantum cryptography and tokenisation.
Hong Kong FinTech Week is the city's flagship fintech event, bringing together industry players, regulators and investors from around the world. Analysts say the package moves Hong Kong's fintech agenda beyond virtual asset custody and licensing toward systemic upgrades in AI agents, cryptography and settlement infrastructure.
