Miami 2026: What to Expect at the Opening Summit
Events Team · Programming
A preview of the keynote themes, confirmed speakers, and networking format for the inaugural 2026 DAYS event in Miami.
The inaugural 2026 Digital Asset Yield Summit opens in Miami on 4 May, bringing together over 400 capital allocators, yield infrastructure builders, and middleware providers for a day of structured dialogue on institutional onchain yield.
The programme is built around three pillars: discovery (keynotes and panels exploring the yield landscape), diligence (deep-dive sessions on risk frameworks and regulatory compliance), and connection (curated networking and concierge introductions). All panel sessions operate under the Chatham House Rule to encourage candid institutional dialogue.
Confirmed keynote themes include the convergence of traditional fixed income and onchain yield, regulatory developments across the US and EU, and the evolving role of custodians in yield-bearing strategies. The full speaker lineup will be announced in the coming weeks.
