The United States is sending clear signals that a substantial shift in the regulation of Crypto Assets and artificial intelligence is imminent. David Sacks, the U.S. cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence affairs head, recently referred to the current regulatory leadership as a "dream team", which is seen by the market as an important indication of Washington reaching a Consensus on the regulation of digital assets and cutting-edge technology. For a long time, the U.S. crypto industry has been plagued by regulatory uncertainty.

Sachs' latest statement indicates that federal regulatory agencies are shifting from fragmented enforcement to a more coordinated, clear, and results-oriented regulatory framework.

Since 2025, the performance of major global assets has shown significant divergence. In the context of investors simultaneously pursuing safe-haven and growth assets, Bitcoin has unexpectedly lagged behind two assets with completely opposite attributes - gold and copper.

According to ChainCatcher news and Cryptonews report, Edul Patel, CEO of the Indian Crypto Assets trading and investment platform Mudrex, stated that stablecoins, tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), and the integration of artificial intelligence with Blockchain will be one of the biggest driving forces behind the popularity of Crypto Assets by 2026. He pointed out that in terms of regulatory and investor behavior changes, although India has developed mature exchanges and investor awareness is continuously improving, "what is currently lacking is clarity in regulation." He expects that investors will gradually shift from speculation to fundamental analysis, and people may be more inclined to choose projects that have clear real-world application cases, robust fundamentals, and greater transparency in areas such as token economics. This trend has already been seen in decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, Web3, and emerging artificial intelligence.

As the crypto market continues to expand, the surge in the number of tokens is changing the logic of capital allocation. On one hand, the market's high saturation weakens the scarcity of individual tokens, making speculative capital more easily attracted by short-term narratives, and memecoins frequently become the focus, but their fundamentals often struggle to support long-term value. On the other hand, a new direction is rapidly taking shape—artificial intelligence tokens are gradually moving towards the core of the crypto market. In the current environment, some analysts refer to 2026 as the "Year of Artificial Intelligence Tokens." This judgment is not without basis. With the rapid implementation of artificial intelligence in the United States and globally, capital is gradually shifting from high-volatility, low-fundamental assets to AI crypto projects that have real application scenarios. Artificial intelligence tokens are no longer just conceptual narratives, but a direct embodiment of the combination of crypto assets and cutting-edge technology.
