Money20/20 USA

Money20/20 is not a crypto conference, and that's exactly why it matters. This is where 11,000+ executives from Mastercard, Google Cloud, PayPal, Visa, Stripe, and every major bank's innovation team gather. The 2026 edition introduces "The Intersection" — a hub explicitly bridging banks and DeFi/crypto with stablecoin, embedded finance, and open finance tracks. If your product needs bank distribution or payment rail integration, the buyers are in this room.

One in three attendees is C-suite. The content is broad — payments, lending, banking, insurance — so you'll need to be selective about which sessions and networking events to prioritize. The crypto-specific programming is growing but still a fraction of the whole. Come for the distribution partnerships, not for protocol-level conversations.

Las Vegas in October, sprawling venue. Tickets run $3,000–$5,000 — the premium reflects the audience quality and deal-flow density. Book meetings in advance through the app; spontaneous encounters are harder at this scale.
