Hong Kong — Bitcoin Asia 2025 is set to take over Hong Kong on August 28 and 29, cementing the city’s role as one of the world’s most dynamic hubs for digital currency innovation. With an expected 15,000 participants, the event will not only be the largest of its kind in Asia but also the second-largest Bitcoin gathering globally.
The rise of Bitcoin and digital currencies has been particularly strong in Asia, where adoption among consumers and businesses is surging. As of 2023, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for 43 percent of global cryptocurrency ownership. Southeast Asia is emerging as a hotbed of activity, with Indonesia reporting US$30 billion worth of transactions last year, while markets such as Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines continue to expand rapidly.
Retail participation is fueling a parallel wave of institutional interest. From Japan and Korea to Singapore and Hong Kong, asset managers are tapping into this momentum. The Asia-Pacific crypto asset management market has already reached US$300.4 million in revenues, with forecasts projecting growth to US$1.46 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 25.4 percent. In Hong Kong, the growing number of listed companies holding Bitcoin reserves reflects the city’s strengthening position in the space.
This momentum has been matched by regulatory clarity. Across Asia, governments are establishing frameworks for exchanges and custodians, offering investors more confidence. Hong Kong has emerged as a leader, introducing pioneering policies to bolster digital finance. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) have embraced pilot programs for Web3 initiatives. The approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in April 2024, followed by the Stablecoins Ordinance in May 2025, underscores the city’s ambition to become a global hub for virtual assets.
Against this backdrop, Bitcoin Asia 2025 could not have chosen a better stage. More than 200 speakers from across the globe will converge to share insights on the future of the digital economy. Industry leaders including Adam Back of Blockstream, Binance founder CZ, and Balaji Srinivasan of Network School will headline the program.
Key highlights include keynote speeches from Bitcoin innovators, panels on regulatory clarity and institutional adoption, as well as sessions dedicated to Asia’s role in shaping the digital economy. Attendees can expect a robust networking environment connecting policymakers, investors, and builders driving the next phase of industry growth.
“Bitcoin Asia 2025 will be a historic milestone for Bitcoin in Asia,” said David Bailey, CEO of BTC Inc. “The innovation and adoption happening here make Hong Kong the perfect stage. This region is not just participating in the digital currency revolution — it’s leading it.”
Brandon Green, Chief of Staff at BTC Inc., added that the conference comes at a pivotal time, with Asia emerging as a contender in the global Bitcoin race. “From capital market announcements to surging institutional participation, Asia is signaling that it’s ready to step into the spotlight,” he noted.
Bitcoin Asia 2025 is part of a global series of Bitcoin events organized by BTC Media, which also produces Bitcoin Magazine. The series includes Bitcoin Amsterdam in November 2025 and Bitcoin MENA in Abu Dhabi this December, before returning to Las Vegas in April 2026.
