A significant change is underway as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan, among other institutional heavyweights, prepare to attend and sponsor Consensus Miami 2026. This unprecedented gathering, set to take place from May 5-7, will bring together federal policymakers, crypto pioneers, and traditional finance leaders to explore the convergence of digital assets and traditional finance. The event is expected to draw over 15,000 attendees, with institutional attendance projected to reach around 35% of the audience, representing approximately $10 trillion in assets under management. Key speakers include CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, Senator Ashley Moody, and White House official Patrick Witt, alongside debut sponsors Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan.
The conference will feature discussions on the future of stablecoins, agentic commerce, tokenization, and quantum computing's implications for the industry. With the lineup including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, Strategy's Michael Saylor, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, this event promises to be a pivotal moment in the crypto space.
