Eric Trump reiterated his prediction that bitcoin will eventually reach $1 million, saying he has never been more bullish on the cryptocurrency.

Speaking at the World Liberty Financial forum at Mar-a-Lago, he cited bitcoin's roughly 70% average annual gain over the past decade and challenged critics to name a better-performing asset class.
