The atmosphere at the 'Bitcoin 2026' conference in Las Vegas is electric. Eric Trump’s speech, in particular, was a major highlight. His message was clear: "Bitcoin is no longer a fringe asset; it's at the most critical turning point in history."
For those who might not know who Eric Trump is, he is the second son of Donald Trump, the former U.S. President and current presidential candidate. He serves as the Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, leading the core family business. The fact that a figure with both political influence and business pedigree is on the main stage of a Bitcoin conference says a lot about where we are.
From my perspective, Bitcoin has evolved beyond just being "Digital Gold"—it has become a core political asset in the U.S. Major Wall Street banks offering custody services and billions flowing into spot ETFs are old news now. As Eric Trump emphasized, the fact that people are "holding (HODLing) instead of selling" is a crucial point regarding supply-demand imbalance.
If I were you, I’d start looking at the "institutionalization" phase rather than just the hype. As regulations become more refined, we might not see the 100x returns of the past, but instead, it will become a "true asset" held in pension funds and institutional portfolios. Ultimately, the current volatility is likely the final labor pain before massive capital truly settles in. The patient ones will win this market.
