On February 27, 2025, President Donald J.

In terms of AI-related news, there has been no direct correlation to President Trump's statement about the US-UK relationship. However, AI developments continue to influence the crypto market. On February 26, 2025, a major AI company announced a new partnership with a blockchain platform to enhance AI-driven trading algorithms, which led to a 5% increase in the trading volume of AI-related tokens such as SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.ai (FET) (Source: CoinMarketCap, February 26, 2025, 5:00 PM EST).
