Eric Trump to headline Bitcoin Asia 2025 as Hong Kong competes with US to be crypto hub


Eric Trump, the second-born son of US President Donald Trump, will attend next month’s Bitcoin Asia 2025 conference in Hong Kong as a headline speaker, as the city strives to position itself as a leading hub for digital assets, competing with the US.

Trump would discuss bitcoin’s “long-term potential” and its impact on global finance, as well as “how Asia is shaping the future of bitcoin adoption,” said BTC Inc, the conference organiser, on Tuesday.

Bitcoin Asia, the regional edition of the Bitcoin Conference – one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency events – was held in Hong Kong for the first time in May last year amid the city’s initiative to develop its digital asset sector.
A co-founder of the bitcoin-mining venture American Bitcoin and the Trump family-backed project World Liberty Financial, Eric was “becoming one of the industry’s strongest advocates on the international stage”, said BTC Inc CEO David Bailey.

Trump’s participation comes as Hong Kong ramps up its efforts to become a global leader in digital assets, competing head to head with the US, which his father’s administration has aimed to establish as the “crypto capital of the planet”.
