In a statement at the MENA conference in Abu Dhabi, Eric Trump predicted that Bitcoin's value would eventually rise to $1 million. His remarks came as the cryptocurrency surpassed the $100,000 level for the first time last week, but has since adjusted to its current trading price of $98,049. This increase in value represents a significant increase from the election day price of $69,374.
The conference focused on the ongoing conversation surrounding the introduction of cryptocurrencies into the global financial system. Eric Trump used the opportunity to praise his father Donald Trump's efforts in creating a U.S. regulatory environment that could lead the world in cryptocurrency regulation.
This sentiment is in line with recent political developments, with President-elect Donald Trump actively advocating for a crypto-friendly administration. In line with this stance, he last week nominated Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner under President George W. Bush, to be the next chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Atkins is known for his critical views on excessive market regulation, a stance he has expressed since leaving the SEC.
Eric Trump's confidence in Bitcoin's future growth and the appointment of a new SEC chairman with a history of advocating for market deregulation are likely to support the growth of cryptocurrencies in the U.S. financial landscape. Demonstrates ongoing interest in fostering a conducive environment.
