Mar-a-Lago Crypto Summit Brings Goldman Sachs, Franklin Templeton, and Nicki Minaj

On Feb. 20, 2026, a high-profile crypto summit at Mar-a-Lago mixed Wall Street, politics, and pop culture as representatives from Goldman Sachs and Franklin Templeton joined artists and industry insiders for wide-ranging talks. Topics centered on tokenizing real estate and other assets, custody solutions, compliance challenges, and what a practical regulatory framework could look like if institutions increasingly participate.

The event’s lineup signals growing mainstream interest: major asset managers debating pilot programs alongside celebrity figures amplifies public attention and potential capital flows into tokenized instruments. While attendees stressed the need for regulatory clarity and robust custody standards, the summit highlighted that finance, policy, and cultural influencers are now converging on the same set of questions — a development that could accelerate token adoption if concrete pilots and policy guidance follow.
