Mike Tyson, Tether CEO, Cathie Wood Among Speakers at Trump’s Exclusive Crypto Conference

On Saturday, April 25, 2026, former President Donald Trump hosted a private cryptocurrency conference at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. The event, described by organizers as “the most exclusive conference in the world,” was limited to the top 297 holders of the $TRUMP memecoin and featured Trump as the keynote speaker.

The conference included high-profile speakers from sports, finance and technology. Legendary boxer Mike Tyson spoke early in the event, followed by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino, who addressed the relationship between financial inclusion and the U.S. Dollar’s global role. Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood and Alchemy CEO Nikil Viswanathan also presented, focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency.

Other notable attendees included Bill Zanker, co-founder of the TRUMP memecoin, and motivational speaker Tony Robbins. The gathering took place amid ongoing scrutiny from Democratic senators, who have questioned Trump’s involvement in promoting and potentially profiting from the memecoin-associated event.

A Federal Aviation Administration notice issued on April 20, 2026, confirmed presidential-level flight restrictions over Palm Beach from April 24–25, consistent with Trump’s scheduled visit to Mar-a-Lago during that period.

While the $TRUMP memecoin has experienced volatility and declining value since its launch, the conference underscored continued interest in digital assets among Trump-aligned circles and highlighted efforts to link cryptocurrency innovation with broader financial and technological themes.
