White House’s AI & Crypto Czar Sparks Market Surge

David Sacks and Vivek Ramaswamy accelerate U.S. crypto and AI growth with swift executive actions.

Top 50 cryptocurrencies jump 45%, AI stocks gain $800B, and Coinbase shares rise 92% since November election.

Regulatory clarity and federal support reduce risk, unlocking hundreds of billions in dormant investment.

The White House’s creation of the AI & Cryptocurrency Czar role has sent shockwaves through Silicon Valley and financial markets. David Sacks, stepping into the newly minted position, alongside co-czar Vivek Ramaswamy, is reshaping two of America’s fastest-growing sectors. Investors are reacting with urgency, pumping billions into cryptocurrencies and AI stocks

As per Fortune, since the November election, the combined market capitalization of the top 50 cryptocurrencies has surged over 45%, adding approximately $1.1 trillion in value. AI-related stocks, including Nvidia and several smaller firms, gained another $800 billion. Coinbase shares jumped 92%, while MicroStrategy nears a $100 billion valuation.

The administration has signaled a decisive shift in policy. On day one, President Trump reportedly instructed acting SEC Chair Mark Uyeda to “stand down” on enforcement actions against token issuers. Moreover, the SEC’s SAB 121 accounting rule, which treated customer crypto holdings as balance-sheet liabilities, faces imminent revision. Treasury Department officials are actively staffing a strategic bitcoin reserve, once dismissed as improbable by former Secretary Janet Yellen

In parallel, AI development receives a clear boost. Executive orders aim to prioritize GPU allocations for U.S. data centers, expedite nuclear and natural gas permits, and establish a federal “right to train” that overrides local zoning restrictions. Rumors indicate the government may directly purchase frontier AI models to prevent foreign access.

Investor Frenzy and Regulatory Shift

The new czar positions have quickly become the hottest power centers in Washington. Lobbyists and venture firms are adjusting strategies to align with Sacks’ agenda. Previously dormant capital—estimated at hundreds of billions—is flowing into crypto and AI projects

Besides, the czars can achieve most objectives without Congress, relying on executive actions and reinterpretation of existing statutes. Consequently, the market perceives reduced regulatory risk, creating rapid enterprise value growth.

David Sacks publicly addressed recent media scrutiny on X, stating: “Five months ago, five New York Times reporters were dispatched to create a story about my supposed conflicts of interest… Every time we would prove an accusation false, NYT pivoted to the next allegation.” He added that his legal team at Clare Locke has clarified mischaracterizations in the media narrative.
