Eric Trump to attend Bitcoin MENA in Abu Dhabi as keynote speaker

Source Cryptopolitan

Former President Trump’s son, Eric Trump, will be attending the Bitcoin MENA (Middle East & North Africa) conference 2024 as a guest speaker. The event will take place in Abu Dhabi on December 9th and 10th. He will speak alongside other popular names like the CEO of DBCC (Dubai Blockchain Center), Marwan Alzarouni, and Scottie Pippen (founder of Rundown Media), among others.

Trump’s inclusion in the conference’s list of keynote speakers arose from Donald Trump’s and his family’s involvement in crypto. Donald Trump became the pro-crypto candidate, as confirmed by a September poll showing Trump’s 12-point lead with crypto-owning voters. Harris also had a 12-point lead with voters who did not own crypto.

However, both candidates expressed their plans for crypto. In light of this, crypto totaling over $100M was donated to PACs backing both political candidates in 2024. Trump’s over $7.5M crypto donations included Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, and USDC. Only 18 Bitcoin donors raised over $5.5M out of the $7.5M.

Trump’s attendance and guest speaker role at the upcoming Bitcoin MENA Conference 2024 in Abu Dhabi was recently confirmed. The conference will aim to advance Bitcoin adoption with an emphasis on the importance of understanding how the crypto industry runs.

According to Bitcoin MENA’s official website, Eric’s focus on strategic investments and forward-thinking business practices aligned with his interest in emerging technologies, including Bitcoin and blockchain. Eric advocated for Bitcoin’s role in preserving financial sovereignty and empowering individuals in recognition of its transformative potential as a decentralized hedge against inflation and store of value.

Eric supports Bitcoin as a tool promoting freedom in global financial systems, safeguarding wealth, and fostering innovation amid increasing economic uncertainty. His perspective on Bitcoin was shaped by his commitment to individual empowerment and free enterprise principles.

“Bitcoin is the future of finance – just like real estate, it’s all about securing your assets and building wealth for generations to come.”

–Eric Trump

At the intersection of technology and business, Eric views Bitcoin as an essential asset ensuring financial security and freedom for future generations.

Crypto to play a critical role in the U.S. 2024 elections in November

The Republican candidate’s continued involvement in crypto projects and Kamala’s ambivalent approach to crypto led analysts to predict that Bitcoin would benefit more under a Republican presidency.

Notably, it remains to be seen how the shaky launch of the World Liberty Financial token would affect the crypto industry’s pro-Trump sentiments and the election outcome. Of the 100K people on the investment’s whitelist, only 4,300 wallets held 532 million of the 20 billion tokens offered for public sale.

According to Forbes, crypto billionaires positioned themselves on both sides as they funded Trump and Harris. The Winklevoss twins, who co-founded the Gemini crypto exchange, donated 1 million worth of Bitcoin each to support Trump’s campaign. The brothers reportedly donated a combined $10 million to various political groups this election cycle.

Chris Larsen, Ripple’s co-founder and chair, donated nearly $1.9 million to support Harris directly through her campaign team and through PACs. Larsen had since promised to donate $10 million worth of XRP in her support. It was not clear whether Mark Cuban had donated to Kamala’s campaign, although he had publicly declared his support for her presidency.

A founding partner of the Draper Fisher Jurvetson, Tim Draper, endorsed both candidates and donated equally to both.

Musk Pitches Bitcoin As Pillar Of America Party

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
