Donald Trump to Speak at Bitcoin Conference in Nashville on July 27
The expected Republican U.S. presidential nominee, Donald Trump, will speak at a Bitcoin conference in Nashville, Tennessee, later this month, according to the conference organizer’s announcement on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, rumors about Trump’s appearance grew as speakers at the conference told CoinDesk their speaking times were changed to accommodate a “very special guest.”
Former President Trump will deliver a 30-minute speech at 2 p.m. CT (19:00 UTC) on the last day of the conference, which runs from July 25-27
Trump has shown support for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency since he endorsed the industry at his NFT gala this spring. He has included pro-Bitcoin policies in the core Republican Party platform, contrasting sharply with the Biden administration.
Trump’s upcoming speech is expected to reinforce his image as a supporter of cryptocurrency, despite his earlier doubts about the technology during his first administration. His presence at the annual Bitcoin gathering was anticipated.
