Trump emphasized that the rapid advancements in AI would significantly benefit the crypto sector. He stated, 'The thing that’s going to spawn the growth of digital assets by far the quickest is actually the AI trade.' He added that the progress of AI could lead to substantial improvements in the digital asset market.
