In a keynote speech at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas, Eric Trump expressed his optimism about bitcoin's current state, asserting that its best period is already underway. As the co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin, Trump believes the combination of mainstream financial access, corporate treasury adoption, and institutional investment has brought bitcoin to a historic milestone. He noted that the progress made in the last six months surpasses the achievements of the previous three years, describing it as a 'transformational' change.
Trump cited the growing involvement of major banks in offering bitcoin-backed services as a key indicator of Wall Street's shifting stance. He emphasized that the limited supply of bitcoin, coupled with increasing demand from institutions and governments, is structurally changing the market. Furthermore, Trump expressed his confidence in riding out market volatility, predicting long-term success for bitcoin.
