Stablecoins are rewriting the rules of global payments. At Consensus 2026, we're putting the builders, operators, and policymakers shaping that future on stage. Highlight sessions: ◾ Stablecoins Go Global: Payments, Regulation, & The Fight for Fiat Rails Fireblocks' Michael Shaulov, Agora's Nick van Eck, and zerohash's Ben Grout go head-to-head on what it takes to move stablecoins from crypto-native rails to global payment infrastructure. ◾ Stablecoin Revival: Big Tech Re-Enters Payments Big Tech tried payments once and walked away. Now they're back and stablecoins are the reason. MoonPay's Richard Harrison and Paxos' Brent Perreault break down what's different this time. Convergence Stage. ◾ The Always-On Economy: The Convergence of AI and Financial Infrastructure What happens when AI agents need to move money 24/7? Circle's Kash Razzaghi and Alchemy's Nikil Viswanathan make the case that stablecoins and AI are converging faster than most people realize. Mainstage. Moderated by CoinDesk's Betsy Farber. Three panels. One throughline: stablecoins are becoming the default settlement layer for the next financial system. Miami. May 5–7. Be there. https://lnkd.in/eBFy4Nic
