Crypto AI Tokens Surge Over 30% Amid Anticipation of Trump Policies

Cryptocurrencies linked to artificial intelligence (AI) surged on Tuesday, while Bitcoin remained below recent highs. Key developments include:

• AI16Z and ARC gained over 30%.
• Other tokens like GRIFFAIN and ZEREBRO also saw double-digit increases.
• President Trump plans to announce up to $500 billion in private sector AI infrastructure investments.
• Trump rescinded a Biden-era executive order on AI risks.

The crypto AI agent sector is rapidly growing, now a multibillion-dollar asset class since the emergence of AI tokens. These agents perform functions such as social media posting and transaction execution.

Market sentiment remains cautious, with Bitcoin trading around $106,000, boosted by MicroStrategy's acquisition of 11,000 BTC, totaling over $49 billion in holdings.

Ethereum struggles near its weakest price against Bitcoin amid community backlash regarding its market position.

Analysts from K33 Research suggest a soft derisking in anticipation of potential executive orders that could increase market volatility.

Bitcoin faced resistance at $110,000 but has shown resilience, with quick buy-ups at dips to $100,000. Market strategist Joel Kruger noted concerns about Trump's engagement with crypto may be overstated due to his recent activities and commitments in the space.
