The crypto industry has reached a pivotal moment, with real-world assets being integrated into the blockchain and stablecoins becoming a crucial part of global commerce. The institutions that once viewed crypto with skepticism, such as Morgan Stanley and Nasdaq, are now actively participating in the space. Consensus 2026 will serve as a platform for these institutions to discuss their role in the industry and how they plan to navigate the evolving landscape. The event will feature a speaker roster that includes representatives from Mastercard, PayPal, and T.
Rowe Price, among others. The conversations at Consensus 2026 will focus on the practical applications of 24/7 markets, settlement infrastructure, and regulatory frameworks. Stablecoins will be a key area of discussion, with experts exploring their potential as a global settlement layer.
The event will also delve into the topic of tokenization, including the emergence of tokenized treasuries, onchain private credit, and fractional real estate. With over 20,000 attendees expected, Consensus 2026 is poised to be a landmark event that will shape the future of the crypto industry.
