During his recent appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his vision for the US to emerge as a technology leader, declaring that the country will become the “artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency capital of the world.” This statement underscores Trump’s commitment to an “America First” stance, especially in the emerging field of digital technologies.

At the event, Trump recalled some of his administration’s pioneering initiatives, highlighting projects that aim to put the U.S. at the forefront of the global cryptocurrency landscape. In a previous statement via X, Trump had promised that his administration would “ensure that the United States is the crypto capital of the planet,” while hinting at plans for future crypto-related projects.

These plans culminated in the launch of World Liberty Financial, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol that counts Trump as its main proponent. Another significant initiative was the launch of Official Trump, a memecoin that, to date, has reached an impressive market cap of $8 billion.

During a White House briefing with artificial intelligence experts, Trump made his only public mention of the TRUMP token, stating:

“I don’t know much about it, other than I launched it. I heard it was very successful. I haven’t checked.”

At the time of publication, the TRUMP token price was quoted at $37,32 with a drop of 4% in the last 24 hours.
