Speaking at Token2049 in Singapore, World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump said capital had rotated from crypto into artificial intelligence over the past year, weighing on Bitcoin prices. He argued that the shift may end up benefiting digital assets rather than hurting them. In his view, faster growth in AI could translate into faster growth in crypto as real-world payment use cases emerge.
Trump pointed to a future in which AI agents handle tasks such as booking hotels and arranging travel on behalf of users. Those transactions, he said, would not be settled with fiat currency or paper cash, but completed directly by agents using crypto wallets. He also said capital is now moving back into the crypto market and that prices are recovering. His message to the industry was that crypto should embrace AI rather than resist it.
Speaking at Token2049 in Singapore, World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump said capital rotated out of the crypto market and into the AI sector over the past year, putting pressure on Bitcoin prices.
He said that shift could still turn out to be highly positive for digital assets, adding that the faster AI grows, the faster digital assets can grow as well.
Trump used a practical example to explain the link. In the future, he said, people will ask AI agents to book hotels and arrange travel, and those transactions 「won’t use fiat, won’t use paper cash」. Instead, agents will pay directly through crypto wallets.
He also said capital has now started flowing back into the crypto market and that prices are recovering. 「The faster the people on the AI side sprint toward their goal, the better it is for our industry,」 he said, adding that the sector should embrace AI with open arms.
