Eric Trump said at Token2049 in Singapore that heavy investment in artificial intelligence will ultimately become the fastest force driving growth in digital assets. Speaking at the event, he argued that wider adoption of AI agents in daily life would naturally expand the use of crypto wallets, because those agents would transact in crypto rather than fiat for certain activities, such as booking travel. He also pointed to Bitcoin’s recent move back above $80,000 as a sign that capital is flowing back into crypto from AI trades, while adding that money will continue rotating between the two sectors. Beyond market flows, Trump said growth in dollar-backed stablecoins could increase demand for U.S. Treasuries. He also described tokenization as having public-interest value, saying that putting high-end real estate, art, and music revenue onchain could broaden access to investments that were previously aimed mainly at wealthy investors. On banks, he said lenders had once tried to slow digital asset development but are now racing to adopt crypto technology.

Eric Trump said at Token2049 in Singapore on Oct. 8 that large-scale investment in artificial intelligence will ultimately become the fastest driver of growth for digital assets, according to Bloomberg.

He illustrated the point with an example of an AI agent booking a vacation, saying the agent would use a crypto wallet rather than fiat currency to complete the transaction. In his view, the faster AI becomes part of daily life, the faster the crypto industry will grow.

Trump also said Bitcoin’s recent move back above $80,000 shows that capital is rotating back into the crypto market from AI investments. He added that funds will continue moving between AI and crypto assets.

He also said growth in dollar-backed stablecoins could strengthen demand for U.S. Treasuries. On tokenization, Trump said it carries public-interest value because putting high-end real estate, art, and music revenue onchain could open access to a broader group of investors, rather than limiting those assets mainly to wealthy buyers.

Speaking about banks, he said financial institutions had previously tried to block the development of digital assets, but are now competing to adopt crypto technology.
