During his WEF address in 2025, President Donald Trump restated the US leadership goals in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. As part of U.S. financial reform, Senator Cynthia Lummis became chair of the first Senate Banking Subcommittee on Digital Assets after officially taking her position.
President Trump told the WEF that he wants America to be “the world capital of AI and crypto.”
America Must Lead in AI and Cryptocurrency Development
America should lead globally as the top country for AI and cryptocurrency development, stated Trump to his audience. He understood that digital leadership in these sectors guarantees the U.S. economy remains competitive with other nations in our fast-changing tech economy.
To boost the economy, he suggested lowering interest rates while suggesting Saudi Arabia put $1 trillion into the US to create business ties worldwide.
When new members took their seats in Congress, Senator Cynthia Lummis started her term as the inaugural Chair of the Digital Assets Subcommittee. She now leads a crucial effort to define the proper role of digital money in America’s financial future.
Using a bipartisan approach, Senator Lummis plans to create an effective system of regulations to support digital assets and their industry growth, plus customer safety protections.
According to Lummis, digital assets will build a better financial future for our nation. She recommended setting aside part of the US national currency stock to increase Bitcoin’s role in worldwide money circulation.
The committee facilitates good innovations and enforces rules by authorities while making digital technology part of President Trump’s U.S. vision.
Both federal oversight and legislative branches now work together to gain U.S. acceptance of cryptocurrencies as controlled assets. Through a focus on digital creation, customer security, and worldwide partnership efforts, our government officials aim to establish strong U.S. leadership in the digital economy.
The Trump and Lummis programs demonstrate their joint interest in using blockchain and artificial intelligence to lead economic growth and defense while lifting America’s global status through technology leadership.
