Donald Trump’s presidential term has brought quite a bit of changes to the global economic scene, and the cryptocurrency market is no exception. Before getting elected, he promised that he would turn the United States of America into the crypto capital of the world, and just yesterday at Davos, he reiterated that he’s working towards achieving this goal.

Just a couple of days ago, we examined how his term impacted crypto prices so far, and despite what seems to be his best intentions, the market is suffering. Since he was inaugurated, Bitcoin lost 15% of its price, while the majority of altcoins are down between 70% and 90% – not exactly what the majority expected. But then again, markets rarely behave the way the majority expects them to.

With that in mind, we decided to conduct an interesting experiment and poke the virtual brains of one of the most popular AI models out there – Gemini, asking it about its opinion on the best crypto performer until the end of Trump’s term.

The answer might surprise you.

A Speculative Conversation

Prompted to choose between BTC, ETH, and XRP, Gemini took an interesting approach in what was prompted to be a speculative conversation. The AI quickly identified what many might consider the outlier between the three.

However, there are a lot of nuances to this answer, so let’s break them down. First things first, it did confirm that Bitcoin remains the safest bet, while XRP is “the most aggressive.”

The reason?

According to Gemini, Trump’s administration is “dismantling” the regulatory roadblocks that have been suppressing XRP’s price for years. It argues that during the Biden term, the altcoin was suppressed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and their lawsuit against Ripple Labs – something that’s already behind our backs.

More specifically:

But There’s More

Moving aside from XRP, Gemini considers Bitcoin to no longer be just a trade – it’s now a national policy thanks to the establishment of the Strategy Bitcoin Reserve in 2025.

Gemini argues that by treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, the administration has “effectively put a government floor under the price.”

Just yesterday, Trump also hinted that he expects to sign additional crypto-oriented regulations soon. It’s important to add, though, that the CLARITY Act, which he was likely referencing, is reportedly facing a delay of at least several weeks, possibly even months, as the Senate Banking Committee is switching its focus to housing legislation.

In any case, the AI said about BTC:

Last but not least, Gemini also talked about Ethereum, calling it the “tech and utility play,” outlining that the protocol would win the most thanks to deregulation rather than a specific executive order targeted at it.

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
