Eric Trump Headlines a Lavish Crypto Summit in Dubai
Bitcoin payments, former crypto moguls, and high-end spectacle mark Token 2049
Eric Trump made headlines this week at Token 2049, the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference, held at Dubai’s luxury Madinat Jumeirah resort. Representing the Trump Organization, Eric joined Zach Witkoff—son of Trump ally Steve Witkoff—at the two-day crypto spectacle attended by global industry insiders and influencers.
A New Crypto Venture in Dubai
In a major announcement, Eric Trump revealed that Bitcoin will be accepted as payment for luxury flats in a newly proposed Dubai tower—a joint venture between the Trump Organization and a high-end developer. This move aligns with the family’s growing footprint in digital assets, including World Liberty Financial, co-owned by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. The firm recently secured a $25 million investment from Abu Dhabi’s DWF Labs.
Glamour Meets Controversy
Described by attendees as “very wild,” the event featured surreal visuals: champagne flutes, zip lines over resort canals, camels branded with crypto exchange logos, and silver tuxedos adorned with Bitcoin symbols. Temperatures soared to 107°F, but the energy remained electric.
The VIP list included some controversial figures, such as Changpeng Zhao, Binance’s founder, recently released from U.S. custody, and Arthur Hayes, who served house arrest for money-laundering violations. Both received warm welcomes from crypto enthusiasts.
Eric Trump’s Vision for Crypto
During his appearance, Eric predicted that the crypto industry would soon outpace traditional banking. He emphasized the importance of embracing digital assets, positioning his family’s ventures at the forefront of a global financial shift.
The event highlighted not only the Trump family's deepening ties to cryptocurrency but also the industry's push for mainstream acceptance—fueled by spectacle, ambition, and big money.
