The U.S. government sets artificial intelligence policies across agencies

providing a roadmap for implementing U.S. President Donald Trump's executive order to enhance U.S. 'dominance' in the use and development of artificial intelligence, including a 270-day deadline to update policies and procedures.

At the same time, the convergence of artificial intelligence and blockchain has led to a rise in AI-related tokens throughout 2024.

However, this momentum sharply reversed in 2025. Despite the ongoing enthusiasm about the long-term potential of artificial intelligence, AI-related tokens experienced heavy losses, shedding more than 42% of their market value over the past 12 months, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

For the Trump administration, winning the AI race remains a priority. In April 2025, David Sachs, the White House's artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency official, stated that Meta's release of Llama 4 brings the U.S. back to its position in the AI race. This race had been turned upside down in January 2025 with the release of Deep Seek, an artificial intelligence tool manufactured in China.
