Trump Jr., known for his leadership role at American Bitcoin, headlines the second round of speaker announcements. He joins previously confirmed names such as Arthur Hayes, Bybit’s Ben Zhou, and Mike Ho of U.S. Bitcoin Corp. Other newly announced speakers include Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, Monad’s Keone Hon, Ethena Labs’ Guy Young, and Sentient’s Sandeep Nailwal.
The event’s lead partners represent key verticals in blockchain innovation. Sui, a Layer 1 blockchain developed by Mysten Labs, will be represented by Co-founder and CPO Adeniyi Abiodun, who will offer insights on scaling global Web3 adoption. Stable, backed by Tether and focused on using USDT for enterprise payments, will bring CEO Joshua Harding to discuss the future of stablecoin-powered infrastructure. Meanwhile, 0G, a modular Layer 1 project that fuses blockchain with AI, will be spotlighted by its Co-Founder, Michael Heinrich, who will speak on the intersection of decentralized technology and artificial intelligence.
Adding to the lineup, Eric Trump, businessman and the second son of U.S. President Donald Trump, is also slated to deliver a keynote during the week-long event, further underscoring the fusion of political influence and blockchain innovation. Meanwhile, momentum continues in South Korea’s digital finance space as Kakao Pay takes its first formal steps toward launching a Korean won (KRW)-pegged stablecoin. The company recently filed 18 trademark applications with the Korean Intellectual Property Office, blending “KRW” with Kakao Pay identifiers such as “K” and “P.”
