The crypto industry’s most established annual gathering returns to the U.S., hosting 20,000 attendees across six stages, four summits, and 200+ sessions.
Consensus Miami, one of the longest-running and most influential gatherings for digital assets – will bring together 20,000 attendees from over 100 countries, including representatives from over 200 Fortune 500 companies. The event also marks the U.S. return of Solana Accelerate, uniting over 3,000 builders, executives, and policymakers.
The event serves as a key forum for the convergence of crypto at scale, institutional integration, and agentic commerce. Digital assets are no longer nascent; institutions are moving money on crypto rails, AI agents are engaging in live markets, and stablecoins are tying them all together.
Consensus Miami will host a stellar lineup, with new speakers just announced, including:
- Eric Trump, Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer, American Bitcoin
- Michael Saylor, Founder & Executive Chairman, Strategy
- Anatoly Yakovenko, Co-Founder, Solana
- Kevin O’Leary, Chairman, O’Leary Ventures
They join a roster of 500+ speakers from across the ecosystem, including Brad Garlinghouse, CEO, Ripple; Amy Oldenburg, Head of Digital Asset Strategy, Morgan Stanley; May Zabaneh, VP and GM of Crypto, PayPal; Arthur Hayes, Chief Investment Officer, Maelstrom; Michael Selig, Chairman, U.S. CFTC; and Stephanie Cohen, Chief Strategy Officer, Cloudflare.
The programme features six stages and four summits, including the Institutional Summit, Capital Markets Summit, and Regulation & Policy Summit, as well as 200+ sessions across dedicated tracks for Stablecoins, Tokenization, and Prediction Markets. CoinDesk University will offer workshops on stablecoins, AI agents, and more, led by Circle and MoonPay. Additional programming includes a multichain hackathon, Pitchfest, and a live trading competition.
“Bringing Consensus back to the U.S. feels especially poignant this year as the market has evolved significantly. As digital assets move from promise to full-scale momentum, we can see that crypto, AI, and blockchain infrastructure are no longer just bets on the future but a reality that is being shaped by those that will gather in Miami. We have an incredibly action-packed week in store. Miami will be the launchpad for the institutions, founders, and governments alike building the future and accelerating the next big wave in digital asset innovation,” said Michael Lau, Chairman of Consensus.
Consensus Miami takes place during a busy schedule for the city, the same week as the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix and a PGA Tour Signature event. Official night events include an opening party at the Sagamore pool deck, an evening at the iconic E11even, a networking dinner at Papi Steak, a closing party at the National hotel pool deck, and hundreds of other side events that extend the Consensus experience well beyond the main floor.
Major sponsors include Solana, Grayscale, OKX, Anchorage Digital, and GoMining, along with key partnerships from Google,Circle, Kinexys by JPMorgan, KPMG, PwC, Ripple, S&P Global, DTCC, Grant Thornton, Bridge by Stripe, Galaxy, Mastercard, PayPal, Midnight, Fidelity, Swift and more.
