Toronto, Canada, will host Consensus, one of the most important crypto events of 2025, with CoinDesk set to host a stacked lineup of speakers for its first Toronto-based conference, which takes place May 14-16, 2025.
Several prominent figures from Canada’s top crypto firms and the Canadian branches of global players in crypto are set to speak, including WonderFi CEO Dean Skurka, and Lucas Matheson, Canadian CEO of Coinbase.
In action are two powerhouses, Australia’s leading Smart Contract Auditing and Security Firm Hashlock, and the innovative fusion of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the advanced blockchain Nexa by Bitcoin Unlimited. They have partnered to bring a unique networking experience facilitated by leading Web3 and Crypto Event Marketing Company, fractl, titled Founders & Investors Brunch, the Maple and Gold Edition.
A play on theme and concept, Maple and Gold will be a unique, exclusive networking experience that aims to acknowledge the way in which Canada continues to play an important role in bridging traditional finance (TradFi) and the world of blockchain and digital assets; the country serving as a hub for innovation, regulation, and institutional adoption.
With historical, early approval of Bitcoin ETFs and an ever expanding roster of crypto native firms, exchanges and businesses, like WonderFi and NDAX, the country is establishing itself as a battle tested launchpad for integrated and innovative financial models.
This collaborative event sponsored by Hashlock and Nexa, will seek to host founders, venture capitalists, leading innovators and project founders for a lucrative, exclusive networking experience.
“Nexa is committed to fostering meaningful conversations and partnerships with forward thinking businesses, founders and enterprises who are paving the way of the future for the digital economy. Bracing for blockchain disruption in our world starts with bringing the brightest minds and innovators together for important discussions. These rooms are where the best collaborations and relationships start; we’re excited to host Consensus and Futurist conference attendees in Toronto and look forward to collaborating with Hashlock for this unique networking experience facilitated by fractl.” says Shanice, Ecosystem and Business Development Lead for Nexa.
The event announced this day, will take place Wednesday, May 14, 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM EDT on May 14, 2025.
