The Future of Liquidity in Capital Markets Conference
9 October, 2026 | Ritz Carlton, Hong Kong

OVERVIEW

About the event:
ASIMA is excited to host The Future of Liquidity in Capital Markets Conference on the 9th of October in Hong Kong.

Liquidity sits at the heart of modern financial markets, shaping how participants trade, hedge, finance, and price assets.

Over the past two decades—especially since the global financial crisis—the structure, regulations, drivers, and providers of liquidity have undergone profound transformation. In Asia, this evolution is even more pronounced given the region’s diversity in regulatory regimes, currency convertibility, capital controls, and stages of market development.

ASIFMA’s first-ever liquidity-focused conference will bring together industry leaders to examine the forces reshaping liquidity today and tomorrow. Key themes include:

  • Technology, data, AI, and algorithmic trading as liquidity engines
  • Collateral, repo, and securities lending as the backbone of liquidity
  • The regulatory landscape and its unintended consequences
  • DLT and tokenization as future-proof technologies for tomorrow’s liquidity needs

Join us as we explore the future of liquidity in Asia.

Language:
English
