A prestigious group of crypto industry leaders, investors, and celebrities will convene on Saturday at a private conference hosted by former US President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The event, touted as the 'most exclusive conference globally,' kicked off with TRUMP memecoin co-founder Bill Zanker, followed by boxing legend Mike Tyson. Other prominent speakers include Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood, and Alchemy CEO Nikil Viswanathan, who will discuss the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. The conference lineup also features Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley, investor Anthony Pompliano, and traditional finance experts Tim Draper and Grant Cardone, as well as author Tony Robbins. As the keynote speaker, Trump aims to promote the digital asset industry, with attendance limited to the top 297 holders of the $TRUMP token.
