Eric Trump Joins Crypto Event in Asia
Eric Trump is confirmed to speak at the BTC Asia conference in Hong Kong. The event will be held on August 28 and 29. It’s part of a larger interest shown by the Trump family in cryptocurrency. Eric’s brother, Donald Trump Jr., will speak at Korea Blockchain Week in September.
Support for Bitcoin
Eric Trump has shared positive views about bitcoin. He recently spoke at Consensus Toronto, where he called bitcoin better than real estate. He said it has more liquidity, meaning it’s easier to buy and sell quickly. He also called it “digital gold.”
He mentioned that he got into crypto when his family faced political attacks. He added that the same people who went after crypto under the Biden administration also targeted his father, former President Trump.
Hong Kong Boosts Crypto Laws
Hong Kong is working to build a strong future for crypto. Lawmakers there are approving laws that support the industry. One major step is a new stablecoin licensing bill passed before the United States did something similar. The U.S. followed with its own rules through the GENIUS Act.
These decisions are part of a global shift. Countries want to make their markets ready for crypto while staying safe and legal. Hong Kong’s early moves show it wants to be a leader in the space.
More Events Coming to Hong Kong
BTC Asia is not the only major event planned. CoinDesk’s Consensus conference will return to Hong Kong in February. These events bring together leaders and fans of crypto from around the world. They help connect investors, developers, and companies in the space.
