Market Depth Over Hype: Auros' Jason Atkins on the Future at Consensus Hong Kong 2026

The era of pure speculation is fading. As the crypto industry prepares for Consensus Hong Kong 2026, industry leaders are shifting their focus from social media buzz to institutional-grade infrastructure. Jason Atkins, co-founder of Auros, argues that the market's next phase will be defined by its substance—specifically, its liquidity and order book depth.

Auros Jason Atkins: Why Liquidity is the New North Star

According to statements made by Jason Atkins ahead of the event, the maturity of the digital asset space is no longer measured by the volume of tweets but by the resilience of its markets. Atkins noted that for crypto to evolve, it must move beyond "hype cycles" that offer little longevity. Instead, the industry needs to prioritize Market Depth, which allows for large-scale entries and exits without triggering extreme volatility.

Preparing for Institutional Influx

For institutional investors, the ability to execute trades efficiently is paramount. Atkins emphasized that market makers like Auros are playing a critical role in bridging the gap between retail volatility and institutional stability. The upcoming Consensus Hong Kong is expected to serve as a platform where these structural improvements are showcased to the global financial community.
