No, Protocol Labs it to IPFS as Blockstream is to BTC.

ConsenSys is an entirely different company focused on Ethereum, and neither invented nor maintain IPFS. That's Protocol Labs.

Protocol Labs didn't start out of ConsenSys either — in fact, I don't believe they have too much beneficial ownership in common at all. In addition to the separate founding stories already mentioned, you can read about how Protocol Labs was initially funded by Union Square.

ConsenSys is to Blockstream as MetaMask, Infura, MasterCard and JP Morgan are to AXA

Protocol Labs, as you correctly identified, is not a stooge of global corporate interests.
