American Bitcoin co-founder Eric Trump spoke at the Bitcoin 2026 conference in Las Vegas and stated that the past six months have been a turning point for Bitcoin.
What Bitcoin has accomplished over the past six months compared to the previous three years is a transformation. We’re experiencing the greatest period I’ve ever seen.
Eric pointed to major banks now offering Bitcoin-backed mortgages and custody services as evidence of Wall Street’s shift. “People aren’t selling. People are holding. Bitcoin is becoming a resilient asset,” he added, highlighting the limited supply and growing demand from institutional investors and sovereign nations.
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas noted that BTC ETFs have become some of the most successful product launches in the history of this instrument, opening up access to the asset for retail investors.
