These stages will host an array of keynote speeches, fireside chats, and panel discussions designed to dissect the most pressing issues within the blockchain industry.

American Bitcoin and the Future of Mining

Among the most eagerly awaited sessions is "American Bitcoin: The Future of Mining." This segment will feature Donald Trump Jr. and Mike Ho, co-founders of American Bitcoin, as its headline speakers. They will be joined by prominent figures from the Trump family's financial venture, World Liberty Financial, including executive founders Jack Whitcopf, Jack Volkman, and Chase Herro. Together, they will engage in a dynamic fireside chat on the evolving landscape of Bitcoin mining and its far-reaching implications for the blockchain ecosystem.

Global regulatory frameworks will take center stage in conversations pivoting around government approaches to digital assets. Patrick Witt, Executive Director of the White House Digital Asset Committee, and Harry Jung, Deputy Director, will lead a critical fireside discussion on how U.S. policies are shaping the digital landscape. Complementing this dialogue, Caroline Pham, Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Commodities and Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will present a thought-provoking keynote titled, "Why Global Crypto Policies Are Evolving Rapidly," offering insights into the worldwide evolution of crypto regulations.
