In terms of AI-related developments, the impact on AI-related tokens like SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.AI (FET) was notable. AGIX saw a 12% increase to $0.85, while FET rose by 10% to $0.70 within the first hour of Trump's announcement (Source: CoinMarketCap, March 7, 2025, 11:00 AM EST).

This suggests that AI-related tokens are increasingly influenced by broader market sentiment, particularly when significant news impacts the entire cryptocurrency market. The trading volume for AGIX/USD and FET/USD pairs on exchanges like KuCoin and Binance increased by 50% and 40% respectively, reaching 10 million AGIX and 8 million FET traded (Source: KuCoin, Binance, March 7, 2025, 11:00 AM EST). This surge in trading volume indicates heightened interest in AI tokens following positive market sentiment driven by Trump's statement. Moreover, AI-driven trading algorithms likely contributed to the rapid price movements, as evidenced by a 20% increase in AI-driven trading volume across major exchanges (Source: Kaiko, March 7, 2025, 11:00 AM EST). The integration of AI in trading strategies and market analysis continues to influence market dynamics, particularly in response to significant events like Trump's announcement.
