Trump's participation in the Bitcoin conference was first announced two days before the attack. The conference, scheduled to run from July 25 to July 27, will feature Trump on its final day.
Trump, the leading candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, has shown strong support for the crypto industry in recent months. In early May, he announced that he would accept crypto donations for his 2024 presidential campaign. In June, he expressed support for Bitcoin mining and hosted a meeting with industry leaders at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.
Meanwhile, President Joe Biden is facing mounting pressure from the Democratic party to step aside in the election. However, a July 9 letter from the tech policy industry coalition Chamber of Progress stated that Biden still has a chance if he changes his stance on crypto.
The announcement of Trump's attendance has further fueled anticipation for the conference. Given his significant influence, Trump's engagement with the crypto community is regarded as an important event.
