CoinDesk's Consensus Miami 2026, the world's longest-running and most influential digital assets conference, is set to take place in May 2026 in Miami, Florida. This year marks a significant milestone as the event returns to the United States with an unprecedented lineup of speakers, including Eric Trump (Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, American Bitcoin), Michael Saylor (Founder and Executive Chairman, Strategy), Anatoly Yakovenko (Co-founder, Solana), and Kevin O'Leary (Chairman, O'Leary Ventures). The conference expects to host 20,000 participants from over 100 countries, including representatives from more than 200 Fortune 500 companies.
Star-Studded Speaker Roster
The newly announced speakers join a powerhouse lineup of over 500 industry leaders, including Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, Morgan Stanley's Head of Digital Assets Strategy Amy Oldenburg, PayPal's VP and GM of Crypto Mai Zabanah, Maelstrom CIO Arthur Hayes, US CFTC Chairman Michael Selig, and Cloudflare's Chief Strategy Officer Stephanie Cohen. The event also marks the return of Solana Accelerate to the US, bringing together more than 3,000 developers, executives, and policymakers.
Six Stages, Four Summits, and 200+ Sessions
Consensus Miami 2026 will feature six stages and four dedicated summits: the Institutional Summit, Capital Markets Summit, Regulation & Policy Summit, and more. Over 200 sessions will cover key topics including stablecoins, tokenization, prediction markets, and AI agents. CoinDesk University will offer hands-on workshops led by experts from Circle and MoonPay, teaching both basic and advanced strategies for stablecoins, agents, vibe coding, and more. Additional attractions include a CoinDesk live-stream studio, multi-chain hackathon, Pitchfest startup competition, and real-time trading contest.
Unprecedented Institutional and Corporate Support
The conference enjoys massive backing from traditional finance and multinational B2B companies. Lead sponsors include Solana, Grayscale, OKX, Anchorage Digital, and GoMining. Key partners span Google, Circle, Kinexys by JPMorgan, KPMG, PwC, Ripple, S&P Global, DTCC, Grant Thornton, Bridge by Stripe, Galaxy, Mastercard, PayPal, Midnight, Fidelity, Swift, and many others. This underscores that the largest players in global finance are no longer sitting on the sidelines — they are making their presence felt at Consensus.
Miami Calendar Fusion and Nightlife
Consensus Miami coincides with the same week as the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix and a major PGA Tour event, creating a super weekend of business and sports. Official evening events include an opening poolside party at the Sagamore, a night at iconic E11even, a networking dinner at Papi Steak, and a closing poolside party at the National Hotel. Hundreds of satellite events extend the Consensus experience far beyond the main hall.
“Bringing Consensus back to the US this year feels especially significant as the market has evolved dramatically,” said Michael Lau, Chair of Consensus. “Digital assets have moved from promise to full-scale development. Crypto, AI, and blockchain infrastructure are no longer bets on the future — they are the reality being shaped by those gathering in Miami. Miami will serve as the launchpad for institutions, founders, and governments building the future and accelerating the next big wave of digital asset innovation.”
