Eric Trump is confirmed as a key speaker at the upcoming Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong, scheduled for 28 and 29 August.
The event arrives at a time when Hong Kong is aggressively advancing its crypto regulations, aiming to establish itself as a major player in the digital asset landscape.
With growing global interest in Bitcoin, the conference promises to attract significant attention from investors and enthusiasts alike.
Hong Kong’s local legislature, LegCo, is moving forward with a series of pro-crypto laws that predate similar efforts in the United States, including early legislation on stablecoins.
The city recently published “Policy Statement 2.0 on the Development of Digital Assets in Hong Kong,” reinforcing its goal to reach “new heights of global digital asset leadership.”

This follows a 2022 blueprint aimed at strengthening the city’s digital finance ecosystem.
Stablecoins, digital tokens pegged to traditional currencies, are a major focus.
Seen as a potential tool for cross-border payments, stablecoins could offer faster and cheaper alternatives to conventional banking methods, making Hong Kong’s push particularly relevant for international markets.
Known for his outspoken support of Bitcoin, Eric Trump’s presence at Bitcoin Asia reflects his ongoing commitment to the crypto space.
He previously praised Bitcoin’s liquidity and referred to it as “digital gold” during his appearance at Coindesk’s Consensus Toronto earlier this year.
Trump also expressed solidarity with the crypto community, noting that the same political pressures under the Biden administration targeting digital currencies had affected his family.
While the conference does not introduce direct financial projects, Eric Trump’s participation tends to amplify media attention and can influence both retail and institutional interest in Bitcoin, especially within Asia’s growing crypto markets.
Trump stated,
“The best days of Bitcoin are ahead.”
This reflects his positive outlook that often draws considerable interest from market players.
Last year, Bitcoin Asia attracted over 5,500 attendees, with half coming from mainland China.
This year’s event, held at the Wan Chai Convention and Exhibition Centre, will be free to the public, indicating a push towards wider engagement and education in the region.
Hong Kong’s competition with the United States to become a global crypto leader is clear.
While Washington pushes to be the “crypto capital of the planet,” Hong Kong is fast building a regulatory framework to match or surpass its western counterpart, particularly around digital assets and stablecoins.
With Donald Trump Jr. also active on the conference circuit—set to speak at Korea Blockchain Week in September—the Trump family remains a notable presence in crypto events.
Their involvement intertwines politics, business, and digital finance, potentially shaping both public perception and market dynamics.
Their advocacy highlights the ongoing political backdrop influencing cryptocurrency, where regulatory pressures and political affiliations play a significant role in how digital assets are viewed and adopted.
Eric Trump’s participation at Bitcoin Asia highlights a growing trend of high-profile political figures stepping into the crypto arena.
This raises questions about the extent to which political influence will impact the evolution of digital currencies—not only through policy but also in shaping market sentiment and institutional involvement.
As Hong Kong and other jurisdictions race to define their crypto futures, the blend of politics, business, and technology promises to keep this space both dynamic and unpredictable.
