The new AI Czar might be that former hardline “coin whipper” from back then—the holder of TRUMP is already unable to sleep

According to CoinTelegraph, Trump wants to appoint a chief to run his AI affairs, and the most likely candidate is former SEC Chair Jay Clayton. TRUMP is currently trading at $2.05. The chart hasn’t moved much yet, but anyone who got this news has already had their hands on the keyboard.

First, let’s turn back the history: the years when crypto enforcement was at its harshest were exactly during Clayton’s tenure as SEC chief. The Ripple lawsuit progressed to the district court in December 2020—the signed filing in that round was his. That lawsuit dragged XRP from its historical high of $3.84 all the way down to the depths of the valley, and it took four years to recover. Now he’s set to oversee AI policy—crypto’s first reaction is that their spine goes cold. That’s too normal.

My view is the opposite: this isn’t a second witch hunt; it’s more like a dovish signal. The reason isn’t complicated—Trump’s attitude toward crypto over the past couple of years has been written all over his face. Appointing someone who understands how the regulatory machine works to run AI is about seizing control of the rule-setting power for himself, rather than letting the opponent keep fighting. If the goal were to suppress it, why have the hardliner himself come out to lead?

The market casts its vote with real gold and silver—and it never waits for an official announcement. TRUMP holding steady at $2.05 without being broken through by this news is already being interpreted as a positive signal. On the AI side, I just checked: WLD is at $0.60. In the first AI czar policy document, if there’s even a single line expressing goodwill toward innovation, the entire AI coin lineup could be lit like a match.

Here’s my call: within a week, Clayton’s appointment will be priced as a shift toward a friendlier regulatory approach. TRUMP will most likely head back above $3 first. If it doesn’t happen, come back and laugh at me. The tide comes and goes—everything is normal. People are happy to stay in the square and not move, day after day, because the small-dog team of Silicon Valley’s steel-hearted people keeps growing stronger and the crowd keeps getting bigger. That commotion is what gives the market its underlying confidence.
