Two Hong Kong figures, Eric Yip and Johnny Ng, withdraw from Bitcoin Asia conference where Eric Trump is set to speak, following unofficial advisories to lawmakers.
Eric Trump is scheduled to speak at the Bitcoin Asia conference in Hong Kong, set for August 28-29. However, two senior Hong Kong figures, Eric Yip Chee-hang of the Securities and Futures Commission and legislator Johnny Ng Kit-chong, pulled out from the event, reportedly due to his participation. Lawmakers were advised to avoid attending if Eric Trump was present, though the source of the advisory remains unclear. Eric Trump’s involvement is linked to ongoing discussions regarding American Bitcoin’s potential acquisition of a company in Japan and Hong Kong.
