You WON’T Believe Who Shows Up at Crypto’s Biggest Circus: Consensus 2025

What to know:

  • Consensus 2025 lands in Toronto, trying to fix crypto (again!) while everyone pretends they caught Bitcoin at $1.
  • Headliners include Eric Trump (yes, really!) and Bo Hines, talking about digital assets, regulations, and how not to lose your wallet every five minutes.
  • Summits? We got ‘em. DeFi! AI! Web3! And every other buzzword you can fit on a lanyard. Big shots like Chris Pavlovski and Charles Hoskinson will be there, practicing their TED Talk voices.

So how is crypto changing finance? It’s like asking, “How is my mother-in-law changing my marriage?” Answers are plentiful, nobody agrees, and someone’s getting yelled at.
What’s next for stablecoins, tokenization, and Web3 marketing? Wait, there’s still marketing in Web3? I thought it was all memes and apes. And regulation… well, that’s still a four-letter word in crypto, but don’t worry, everyone’s got opinions!

Kicking off Wednesday in the Metro Toronto Convention Center—yes, a real building, not just the blockchain—the oldest “big tent” in crypto rolls out its welcome mat. Bring your own snacks; the price of Ethereum doesn’t cover lunch.

Crypto is hotter than tax season in April, and this year’s event will feature names so big you’ll need to zoom out to see them.

Eric Trump shows up promoting American Bitcoin, because nothing says “decentralized finance” like a good old-fashioned press conference.

Bo Hines rolls in with White House secrets and a briefcase full of new legislative proposals. Don’t worry, there’s something for everyone, unless you actually want laws that make sense.

Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports will deliver hard-hitting wisdom on memecoins. Buckle in: somewhere between “YOLO” and “diamond hands” you might learn something—or at least have a good laugh.

Chris Pavlovski channeling his inner YouTube mogul, Charles Hoskinson delivering more Cardano updates (it’s still here!), Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary sniffing for the next “10x,” regulators like Adrienne Harris, and the one and only Justin Sun, who may or may not be launching a new coin as you read this.

On the Explorations stage expect sizzling takes on DePIN, policy, staking, advanced trading (just HODL, folks), and an entire discussion on whether Canada will ever truly “get” Web3.

You want action? There’s a Hackathon organized by EasyA—because nothing fixes bugs like sixty coders and three gallons of Red Bull. Pitchfest! Research Symposium! A movie screening about Vitalik, starring his eyebrows. Parties all over Toronto: if you leave without at least one NFT and a headache, you did it wrong.

And yes, you’ll find the full agenda somewhere, unless it’s already on the blockchain.
