Key Highlights
Boxing legend Mike Tyson, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, and ARK Invest's Cathie Wood are confirmed speakers at a Trump-branded crypto summit billed as the most exclusive event of its kind.
The conference is being organized in coordination with World Liberty Financial, the Trump-family-linked DeFi project, and is expected to draw hedge funds, family offices, and crypto founders.
Tickets reportedly start in the six figures, with a smaller "inner circle" tier offering private sessions with Donald Trump.
A Trump-branded crypto conference has confirmed Mike Tyson, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, and ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood among its headline speakers. The event is being organized in partnership with World Liberty Financial, the DeFi venture associated with the Trump family, and is positioned as a follow-up to last year's memecoin-driven gala outside Washington.
VIP access pricing has dropped significantly from the prior event, though an "inner circle" package offering closed-door sessions with Donald Trump and senior administration officials has been added. Organizers are targeting hedge funds, sovereign-linked family offices, and large token issuers.
Tyson, who has launched multiple branded tokens since 2021, is expected to appear alongside Ardoino in a session on stablecoin adoption in emerging markets. Wood is slated for a fireside on long-duration crypto allocation.
Ethics watchdogs have raised concerns about sitting officials appearing at paid private events tied to a presidential business venture. The White House has not commented on the program.
