Key Points
The AI agent market continues its rapid development, with key players consolidating market share, and new entrants gaining attention. Trump announced a $500 billion investment over the next 4 years for AI infrastructure development.
What does this mean for AI and Crypto? As the potential of the AI agent market becomes apparent, should the agent market's market cap exceed $150 billion?
