Regarding AI-related developments, there has been no direct mention of AI in Trump's speech so far (Source: Live stream, March 7, 2025, 15:15 UTC). However, the correlation between AI developments and the crypto market remains significant.

These changes suggest that while AI-specific news may not have been directly addressed, the overall market sentiment influenced by Trump's speech had a ripple effect on AI-related tokens. The on-chain metrics for AI tokens showed a slight increase in active addresses, with AGIX seeing a 3% rise to 10,000 and FET a 2% rise to 8,000 at 15:30 UTC (Source: Glassnode, March 7, 2025, 15:30 UTC), indicating a minor but noticeable impact from the broader market movements triggered by the speech.
