US Vice President JD Vance is set to speak at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, marking the first time a sitting US vice president will address a digital asset conference. Vance’s appearance comes after former President Donald Trump spoke at the same event last year. While Vance is known to hold a significant amount of Bitcoin, it remains unclear if he will make any policy statements during the conference. His involvement in crypto-related policy has been limited since taking office in January. The event will also feature speeches from Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, who are associated with the crypto platform World Liberty Financial. The Trump family’s ties to the crypto industry have raised concerns among lawmakers about potential personal enrichment. The announcement of Vance’s participation in the conference coincided with strong criticism from Democratic lawmakers regarding Trump’s connections to the crypto industry. Representative Maxine Waters led an inquiry into “Trump’s crypto corruption,” while Senate Democrats blocked a vote on a stablecoin bill due to concerns about potential enrichment through World Liberty Financial. The controversy surrounding Trump’s ties to crypto has led to a reevaluation of related legislation.
