Goldman, Nasdaq CEOs to headline Mar-a-Lago crypto ‘forum’ hosted by Don Jr. and Eric Trump
The forum aims to strengthen U.S. dollar dominance in digital finance and features top Wall Street CEOs, regulators, and government officials promoting the WLFI token and USD1 stablecoin.
- On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump hosted the event at Mar‑a‑Lago, where prominent Wall Street executives and investors discussed finance and technology with officials.
- David Wachsman said the forum is `about deepening relationships and extending U.S. dollar dominance in the digital economy`, and organizers invited top promoters of WLFI and USD1 while media were invited and speakers unpaid.
- Also slated to appear were Michael Selig, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission; Kelly Loeffler, SBA administrator; and Jacob Helberg, Under Secretary of State, with the SBA saying Loeffler attends in her personal capacity.
- Critics warned the forum risks a troubling overlap between regulators and a Trump family business, but Anna Kelly said the president’s assets are in a trust managed by his children.
- The Trump family has already realized more than $1 billion from crypto ventures, while a Jan 2025 Abu Dhabi-linked investment bought 49% for $500 million, and USD1 surpasses $5 billion in circulation.
