HederaCon 2026 to Convene Global Finance and Policy Leaders in Miami

HederaCon 2026 is scheduled for May 4 at the Faena Forum in Miami Beach, positioning itself as a critical junction for the digital finance ecosystem. The event is strategically timed to coincide with the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix and Consensus 2026, aiming to attract a high concentration of global finance and policy executives. The conference will center on the integration of 'trust layers' into the global economy, specifically exploring how tokenization and AI-driven systems are moving from theoretical frameworks to real-world application. Across two stages, the agenda will address the infrastructure underpinning the digital economy and the embedding of trust into financial systems. High-profile sessions will feature Hedera co-founder Mance Harmon and Hashgraph CEO Eric Piscini, who will discuss the concept of 'invisible ubiquity' in scaling trust layers. Additionally, a panel titled 'The New Global Rails' will include representatives from Citi, Euroclear, DTCC, and Moody’s to examine the impact of tokenized cash and stablecoins on settlement and payment systems. Institutional adoption will be a primary focus, with firms such as 21Shares, Canary Capital, and ClearStreet discussing digital asset products. The event will also feature policy dialogues with members of the White House Crypto Council and the Blockchain Association to address the regulatory landscape. Closing sessions will explore governance and sustainable finance, highlighting the role of tokenization in ESG markets and open-source collaboration via the Linux Foundation. The event concludes with a fireside chat featuring Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council.
