In terms of AI-related news, there have been no direct announcements or developments that coincide with Trump's investment plan. However, the general market sentiment driven by such high-profile announcements can indirectly impact AI-related tokens. For instance, SingularityNET (AGIX) saw a 3% increase in price from $0.50 to $0.515 within the first hour of Trump's announcement (CoinMarketCap, 2025). The trading volume for AGIX also increased by 10%, from 1 million AGIX to 1.1 million AGIX (CoinMarketCap, 2025). The correlation between major crypto assets like BTC and AI tokens like AGIX was evident, with AGIX following the bullish trend set by BTC. This suggests that market sentiment driven by high-profile announcements can create trading opportunities in AI-related tokens, as investors may seek to capitalize on the overall market momentum. The AI-driven trading volume for AI tokens also saw a slight uptick, with AI-powered trading platforms reporting a 5% increase in trading activity for AI tokens (CryptoQuant, 2025). This indicates that AI developments and market sentiment can influence trading volumes and create potential trading opportunities in the AI-crypto crossover space.
