Bitcoin MENA Conference Held in Abu Dhabi

Key players in President-elect Donald Trump's new cryptocurrency venture are attending the Bitcoin MENA conference in Abu Dhabi, coinciding with record highs in the digital currency market. Eric Trump is set to deliver the keynote address and participate in an exclusive 'whale-only' chat, alongside billionaire Steve Witkoff, the new White House envoy for the Middle East and co-founder of World Liberty Financial (WLF). The conference is expected to attract over 6,000 attendees, highlighting the growing significance of crypto in the political landscape. Trump is notably the chief crypto advocate for WLF, which his family co-founded, and he is entitled to 22.5 billion WLF tokens. Other prominent speakers include Justin Sun, founder of the blockchain platform Tron, who recently became WLF's largest investor with a $30 million purchase. The event underscores the intersection of cryptocurrency and political influence, as crypto emerged as a major issue in the recent presidential campaign.
