US vice president JD Vance will speak at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, approximately one year after presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke at the same event.
According to a notice of May 9 from the event organizers, Vance will discuss attendees at the conference on May 28, making him the first to sit by the US Vice President to speak at a digital asset conference.
Trump provided a pre-recorded video of himself from the White House to the Digital Asset Summit operators in March-his first appearance at a crypto event since office in January-and spoke personally at the Bitcoin 2024 conference 2024 in Nashville while campaigning.
Although Vance is a Bitcoin (BTC) holder – he holds $ 250,000 to $ 500,001 worth of cryptocurrency, according to a financial financial filed on August 2024 – it is unclear whether the vice president aims to make a major statement of the event policy. Cointelegraph reached Vance's office to comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
