Reports indicate those in attendance were crypto heavyweights Michael Saylor, Brian Armstrong, the Winklevoss brothers, and Jesse Powell. Notably Trump’s crypto czar pick, David Sacks, was there as well.

Rick Ross, who later denied that he’d be performing on Inauguration Day, was also at the Crypto Ball. “Nah, chill, I’m not performing,” Ross said in the video below. “I am in Washington D.C. right now, but I’m not performing. It’s a private vibe I’m doing with my brother Snoop Dogg.”
