Bitcoin Nashville is about to kick off, with industry attention centered on former President Donald Trump’s keynote address on Bitcoin and the whole crypto industry.
Hours left before the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, kicks off, bringing together key industry figures from the crypto world and high-profile politicians for a comprehensive look at the market.
The most attention is focused on former President Donald Trump, who is expected to deliver a “historic message,” said BTC Inc. chief of staff Brandon Green. Despite the hype, the market remains unfazed, with Polymarket bettors skeptical about any substantial announcements from Trump.
What is clear is that the event will be a financial success for Trump. Bitcoin Magazine chief executive David Bailey reportedly committed to raising $15 million for the Republican presidential nominee during the conference.
Pro-crypto Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming is also expected to make significant announcements, potentially revealing new legislation requiring the Federal Reserve to hold Bitcoin (BTC) as a strategic reserve asset. Other speakers include independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., ARK founder Cathie Wood, and former MicroStrategy chief executive Michael Saylor, though their speech details remain unclear.
Prior to yesterday, speculation suggested Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris might attend the conference, but she reportedly declined following discussions with organizers. Trump is expected to speak at 2 p.m. CT (19:00 UTC) for 30 minutes on July 27, the final day of the conference.
