Trump, speaking at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong, said he believed Bitcoin would hit a $1 million valuation.
“The Bitcoin community embraced my father unlike anything I had ever seen before,” Eric Trump said. “And I hope that’s paid off in spades because we love this community. We believe in this community.” Bitcoin has risen 18% this year, hitting a record high of $124,480.82 in mid-August, buoyed by friendlier regulations from the Trump administration and consistent demand from institutional investors.
The world’s best known cryptocurrency has dropped off those record highs and was last at $110,554.05 on Friday, down over 1% on the day. “There’s no question. Bitcoin takes $1 million,” Eric Trump said.
