The industry’s premier festival will host 20,000 attendees, merging heavy-hitting traditional finance integration with unmatched Miami nightlife.

MIAMI, FL – APRIL 8, 2026 – This time next month, Consensus Miami – the longest-running and most influential gathering 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. Driven by massive institutional momentum and a highly anticipated return to the U.S., the event is shaping up to be one of the most consequential global gatherings the industry has seen to date.

The event serves as ground zero 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 a powerhouse 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. 

This year’s event is set to be the most immersive experience Consensus has ever delivered, featuring 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 attendees practical, hands-on workshops teaching basic and advanced strategies for using stablecoins, agents, vibecoding, and more, delivered by experts from industry-leading companies including  Circle and MoonPay. A CoinDesk Live Broadcast Studio, a multichain hackathon, Pitchfest, and a live trading competition round out three days of programming built for every corner of the industry.  

“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. 

The event is backed by massive, undeniable support from the traditional finance sector and multinational B2B companies. Led by major sponsorships from 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, reinforce the reality that the biggest names in global finance are no longer sitting on the sidelines – they are putting their stake in the ground at Consensus.
