On July 23, the White House released a heavyweight document — Winning the AI Race: The U.S. AI Action Plan. Trump personally signed three executive orders with a core message so clear that the whole world could understand it: the U.S. must win the AI race.
On the surface, this action plan paves the way for the rise of American AI technology. But in a deeper sense, it also sends several major signals to the crypto market. Because this time, the U.S. is not only pushing AI — it’s promoting a global export strategy built around “data, compute, and infrastructure,” which includes hidden opportunities in blockchain, data governance, and even Web3..
pushing standardized AI governance, the U.S. is unintentionally creating a potential market for Web3 and blockchain apps.
Exporting AI + Web3 as a Bundle
From the plan:“It is U.S. policy to maintain and expand leadership by supporting the global deployment of U.S.-based AI technology, and to reduce international reliance on rival nations’ AI systems.”
Trump signed an executive order titled “Promote the Export of U.S. AI Technology Stack,” requiring:
Establishment of a U.S. AI export program;
Public solicitation of companies to offer full-stack AI export proposals;
Inclusion of hardware, models, data pipelines, AI applications.
Within that, blockchain-AI integration technologies (e.g., on-chain AI apps, AI-governed smart contracts) absolutely have a shot at being included. Think that’s a stretch? Don’t forget — U.S. capital is currently obsessed with the “AI + Crypto” narrative.
