Donald Trump Hosts Elite Crypto Conference Featuring Mike Tyson, Tether CEO, and Cathie Wood

This Saturday, a prestigious group of cryptocurrency leaders, investors, and public figures will convene at a private event hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump at the Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The conference, dubbed the 'most exclusive in the world,' kicked off with TRUMP memecoin co-founder Bill Zanker, followed by boxing legend Mike Tyson. Other notable speakers include Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, who will discuss the connection between financial inclusion and the US dollar's global role, as well as Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood and Alchemy CEO Nikil Viswanathan, who will explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and crypto. Additional speakers include Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley, investor Anthony Pompliano, and traditional finance investors Tim Draper and Grant Cardone, along with author Tony Robbins. The event is part of Trump's broader effort to support the digital asset industry since his return to the White House in January 2025. Attendance is limited to the top 297 holders of the $TRUMP token, a meme coin launched in Trump's name. This marks the second time Trump has hosted such an event, which has sparked controversy among Democratic lawmakers. Since taking office, Trump has backed several crypto-related projects, including the $TRUMP and $MELANIA meme coins, which have generated millions of dollars in revenue despite significant declines in value.
