- Morgan Stanley joins as a sponsor and speaker at Consensus Miami, alongside JPMorgan, marking the first Wall Street bank endorsement of a crypto summit.
- Michael Selig attends the event, the first appearance of a CFTC chairman at a crypto conference, indicating deeper regulatory involvement.
- Brad Spies says institutional attendance will nearly double to about 35% of the audience, representing roughly $10 trillion in assets under management.
- Anatoly Yakovenko will headline the conference, representing the crypto pioneer side alongside other founders like Michael Saylor and Brad Garlinghouse.
- Tal Cohen of Nasdaq will discuss tokenization and agentic commerce, with over 20 sessions dedicated to the latter, highlighting the industry's push toward automated payments.
Why it matters: Asset managers such as Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan can allocate a slice of their $10 trillion AUM to digital assets, accelerating capital inflows and forcing regulators to finalize the GENIUS/CLARITY bills, which will reshape stablecoin markets.
