A group of cryptocurrency executives, investors and public figures is set to speak Saturday at a private event hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.
The event, billed as "the most exclusive conference in the world," started with Bill Zanker, co-founder of TRUMP memecoin and was followed by legendary boxer Mike Tyson.
Other high-profile speakers include stablecoin issuer Tether's CEO Paolo Ardoino, who is expected to address the link between financial inclusion and the U.S. dollar's global role. Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood and crypto infrastructure provider Alchemy's CEO Nikil Viswanathan will also speak at the conference, and each will focus on the overlap between artificial intelligence and crypto, a topic that has drawn increasing attention as both sectors expand.

The lineup also includes traditional finance investors such as Tim Draper and Grant Cardone, as well as author Tony Robbins.
The event is touted as a major cryptocurrency and finance gathering tied to Trump’s broader push to support the digital asset industry since returning to the White House in January 2025. The conference website lists Trump as the keynote speaker and says attendance is limited to the top 297 holders of the $TRUMP token, a meme coin launched in his name.
This will mark the second time such an event has been hosted by the President. That previous dinner prompted Democratic lawmakers to lodge protests and raise concerns about Trump profiting off of his own crypto token while simultaneously championing legislation to support the industry and appointing regulators to oversee crypto.
