Las Vegas – Eric Trump took the stage at Bitcoin 2026 in Las Vegas with a message: the asset’s best days are not yet to come, they are already here.
The co-founder and chief strategy officer of American Bitcoin (ABTC) stated that the convergence of institutional adoption, corporate treasuries, and mainstream financial access has made bitcoin the most important moment to date.
“What Bitcoin has done in the last six months compared to the previous three years is transformative,” Trump said. “We’re in the best period I’ve ever seen.”
Trump pointed to major banks now offering mortgages and escrow services backed by bitcoin as evidence of a Wall Street reversal. “People aren’t selling it. People are holding it. Bitcoin is getting rigid,” Trump said, adding that limited supply and growing demand from both institutions and sovereign governments are structurally compressing the market.
Moderator Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, framed the shift through the lens of the ETF market, noting that bitcoin ETFs have been among the most successful product launches in the instrument’s history, democratizing access for everyday investors in a way previously reserved for institutions.
“I will endure the volatility,” Trump said. “We’ll see who wins in 10 years.”
