This big move from Mubadala adds fuel to the fire for U.S. spot Bitcoin<\/a> ETFs, which have been raking in serious inflows this May. Seeing collective total<\/a> inflows of $674.9 million on May 2, $425.45 million on May 5, and $334.58 million on May 9, and counting, including a $319.12 million inflow yesterday. IBIT, BlackRock\u2019s Bitcoin ETF, continues to stand out as a top choice for institutional investors, taking in $232.46 million of that alone.<\/p>\n

Mubadala\u2019s increased exposure coincides with high-level discussions between U.S. crypto policy leaders and the UAE. Newly appointed President Trump\u2019s AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks met with Emirati officials earlier this year on March 20 to explore the future of digital currencies and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

\u201cI explored with David Sacks<\/a>, the Special Advisor on AI and Crypto, the transformative effects of artificial intelligence across various sectors, the expanding role of digital currencies in reshaping financial systems, and the investment opportunities emerging at their convergence,\u201d said on X Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. \u201cAs technological advancements accelerate, fostering collaboration and adopting forward-looking strategies remain essential pillars for driving sustainable growth and achieving long-term impact.\u201d<\/p>\n

The UAE has seen a notable increase in Bitcoin adoption in the last year, including hosting the Bitcoin MENA Conference in Abu Dhabi<\/a>, that attracted big names like Eric Trump to deliver impassioned remarks about Bitcoin. Trump argued that hesitation to embrace change is nothing new. He shared a story about a friend who dismissed Bitcoin only to see his own bank adopt it shortly afterward.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are slow as hell to adapt to new technology,\u201d said Eric Trump<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re going to see banks have to adapt. Governments will adapt. Those who embrace this digital revolution early are going to be the ones who win.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump called Bitcoin a \u201cglobal asset\u201d that protects against uncertainty and disruptions, highlighting its decentralized system as a better alternative to the costly inefficiencies of traditional finance.<\/p>\n

\u201cBitcoin is a store of value,\u201d added Eric Trump. \u201cIt\u2019s a hedge against inflation. It\u2019s a hedge against political turmoil, political instability, acts of God, hurricanes, fires, floods, tornadoes. That\u2019s what makes it so powerful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that Bitcoin is going to hit $1 million,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

NEW: Eric Trump just delivered one of the most bullish #Bitcoin<\/a> speeches ever in the capital of the UAE <\/p>\n
