Consensus 2025: The Must-Attend Crypto Flagship Event Comes to Toronto

We’re thrilled to announce that Bitbuy will be attending Consensus 2025 - the world’s largest, longest-running, and most influential conference for crypto, blockchain, and Web3. And for the first time ever, Consensus takes place in Toronto, Canada, marking a major milestone for the global crypto community.

Previously hosted annually in Austin, Texas, this year’s move to Toronto signals Canada’s growing prominence in the digital asset ecosystem. As the flagship event organized by CoinDesk, Consensus 2025 is where innovation, policy, and capital converge - and you won’t want to miss it.

‍

What Is Consensus?

Consensus is the premier gathering of leaders across crypto, blockchain, Web3, and fintech, drawing 20,000+ attendees, 500+ speakers, and 400+ startups. Since its founding in 2015, the event has become the industry’s flagship conference, shaping the conversations that move the digital economy forward.

In 2025, Consensus takes place from May 14–16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre - right in the heart of downtown Toronto. Programming will explore themes like:

• Web3's cultural and community impact

• Opportunities at the intersection of crypto and AI

• The future of privacy tech, DeFi, and regulation

Come find Bitbuy at Booth #2901, where we’ll be joined by our parent company WonderFi and other innovators leading Canada’s digital finance revolution.

Why Consensus Toronto Is a Big Deal (Especially for Canada)

This year’s event is more than just a location change - it’s a recognition of Canada’s rising global influence in crypto and blockchain innovation. As the third-largest tech hub in North America and second-largest financial center, Toronto is the perfect backdrop for Consensus 2025.

Canada has earned its spot on the world stage:

• Ethereum, co-founded by Canadian Vitalik Buterin, was born from Toronto’s early blockchain community.

• Canada was first globally to launch Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, paving the way for regulated crypto investment products.

• Cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are known hubs of Web3 innovation, development, and startup activity.

Bringing Consensus to Canada is a nod to this legacy — and a signal of what’s next.
