In a significant shift, major financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan are set to attend Consensus Miami 2026, not just as speakers, but also as sponsors. This year's event, scheduled for May 5-7, will bring together a diverse group of institutional leaders, federal policymakers, and crypto pioneers to explore the rapidly evolving intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. The conference is expected to draw over 15,000 attendees, with a notable increase in institutional participation, representing approximately $10 trillion in assets under management.
Key speakers include Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, and Bullish CEO Tom Farley, among others. Discussions will focus on topics such as the future of stablecoins, agentic commerce, tokenization, and the implications of quantum computing for the industry. The event will also feature the Institutional Summit and Wealth Management Day, designed to address the growing interest in digital assets among financial advisors and institutional investors.
