Donald Trump's son, Eric, is set to visit Abu Dhabi to address the forthcoming Bitcoin Mena event, scheduled to take place from December 9 to 10 at the Adnec Centre. As a key figure in both the business and political spheres, Eric's perspectives are anticipated to align well with the conference's emphasis on Bitcoin's influence in shaping the future of finance within the region.
Following the US president-elect's participation at Bitcoin 2024 in Nashville last July, the Trump family has demonstrated growing support for Bitcoin as a tool to counteract inflation in the US. Other notable attendees at the Abu Dhabi iteration of the Bitcoin conference include Prince Filip of Serbia, Saifedean Ammous, the author of 'The Bitcoin Standard,' and Abdulla Al Dhaheri from the Blockchain Centre Abu Dhabi.
This event is a significant step in enhancing Abu Dhabi's reputation as a major player in the 'new gold rush' of digital finance. With abundant energy resources, substantial financial assets, and a proactive stance on innovation, the UAE is well-placed to spearhead the next wave of global Bitcoin adoption. The UAE's recent decision to impose zero VAT on Bitcoin gains is just one of many progressive policies aimed at making the region a top destination for Bitcoin innovators, investors, and enterprises.
