Catenaa, Friday, May 09, 2025- CoinDesk’s premier crypto and blockchain conference, Consensus, will be held in Toronto for the first time from May 14 to 16, marking a pivotal expansion of the industry’s most influential annual gathering.
Organizers claim that consensus 2025 will unite more than 6,800 digital asset companies, 400 startups, and attendees from over 100 nations.
The event will include dynamic panels on decentralized finance, Web3, digital assets, and shifting regulatory frameworks, alongside high-profile programming such as the CoinDesk PitchFest and North America’s largest in-person blockchain hackathon.
Eric Trump, Chief Strategy Officer of newly launched mining venture American Bitcoin, will headline the event.
In a keynote address, Trump will unveil his plan to reshape bitcoin mining in the United States, positioning the firm as a “world-leading pure-play miner.” He will also appear at the inaugural Consensus Bitcoin Mining Summit.
Toronto’s selection reflects its deep crypto roots — as the birthplace of Ethereum and home to the first Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs — and its growing influence as North America’s third-largest tech ecosystem.
Speakers include Kevin O’Leary, Anthony Scaramucci, Chainlink’s Sergey Nazarov, and regulators such as Adrienne A. Harris and Robert Hines. Organizers say the conference offers unmatched opportunities for startups to pitch investors, form strategic partnerships, and gain visibility within the sector.
Exclusive registration discounts are available for attendees using code BLOCK20.
