A Bermuda delegation led by Premier David Burt will attend Consensus 2026, the largest annual gathering for the digital assets industry.

The event, organised by CoinDesk and held in Miami from May 5 to 7, brings together more than 20,000 attendees from over 100 countries, including institutional investors, business executives, financial regulators, and government officials.

The Bermuda delegation will include government officers and representatives from the Bermuda Monetary Authority, the Bermuda Business Development Agency, and Bermudian-based digital-asset firms.

Bermuda has a longstanding relationship with the Consensus conference and the BDA has been a sponsor since 2018, where Mr Burt first announced Bermuda’s Digital Asset Business Act.

Mr Burt will participate in a fireside chat with Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of Coinbase. The session will highlight the partnership between Coinbase and the Government of Bermuda, progress on the island's on-chain economy initiative, and how the “Bermuda Triangle” model of government-regulator-industry collaboration has created a blueprint for responsible digital finance regulation.

The Premier will meet with other major partners, including Stellar, Kraken, and Franklin Templeton, in addition to holding meetings with digital finance companies exploring DABA licensing, institutional operators evaluating Bermuda for fund domiciliation, tokenisation, or stablecoin-related activities.

In addition the Premier will speak at the “Bermuda Reception” hosted by the BDA, bringing together industry leaders across the digital assets sector.

Mr Burt said: “Consensus is the industry's most important annual gathering, and Bermuda's continued presence underscores our commitment to building the world's first fully on-chain national economy.

“Since announcing this initiative at Davos in January, we have been working closely with leading digital asset companies, including Circle and Coinbase, to help us execute this vision. Miami provides an opportunity to deepen these partnerships and bring more digital finance companies to Bermuda.”
