US Vice President JD Vance will address the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas on May 28, becoming the first sitting US vice president to speak at a digital asset conference. This follows Donald Trump's participation in the same event as a presidential candidate in 2024. While Vance holds between $250,000 and $500,001 in Bitcoin, it remains unclear if he will discuss specific policies regarding cryptocurrency. Since taking office, Vance has largely remained out of the media's focus on crypto policies, while President Trump has issued executive orders addressing crypto regulations. Vance’s announcement coincides with criticism from Democratic lawmakers regarding Trump's connections to the crypto industry, particularly relating to ongoing legislation concerning stablecoins and the potential for personal enrichment through these ties. The event also features Trump’s sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, further intertwining the Trump family's interests with the crypto sector.
