Eric Trump promotes family crypto ventures at Bitcoin Asia Hong Kong

Eric Trump, the son of President Donald Trump, used a high-profile appearance at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong on Friday to promote his family’s expanding cryptocurrency ventures, praise China and Hong Kong’s role in the sector, and predict that Bitcoin could reach a price of 1 million. Speaking to a large, enthusiastic crowd, Eric Trump lauded the international crypto community, argued that Bitcoin levels the financial playing field, and plugged American Bitcoin, the mining and strategic reserve company he launched with his brother and an industry partner that is preparing to go public.

Onstage, Trump described China as a major force in digital assets and thanked Hong Kong for a warm reception. He also praised the Middle East for its rapid embrace of crypto and framed the U.S.-China dynamic as central to the future of digital finance. Trump predicted rapid progress under his father’s administration, saying more had been accomplished in seven months than in the previous decade and casting the United States as “winning the digital revolution” thanks to political backing and institutional investment.
