Eric Trump, son of former US President Donald Trump, is slated to be a key speaker at Bitcoin Asia 2025, held in Hong Kong next month. This event unfolds as Hong Kong actively seeks to establish itself as a premier center for digital assets, positioning itself as a rival to the United States.

According to BTC Inc, the conference organizers, Mr. Trump is expected to delve into Bitcoin’s “long-range prospects” and its effects on international finance. His address will also highlight “the significant role of Asia in shaping the future of Bitcoin acceptance.”

Mr. Trump’s participation coincides with Hong Kong’s increased endeavors to position itself as a leading global hub for digital assets, directly competing with the United States. Notably, the previous Trump administration aimed to establish the US as a central force in the cryptocurrency landscape.
