U.S. lawmakers are getting serious about AI regulation. Senator Marsha Blackburn has proposed establishing federal standards to govern artificial intelligence, while the Trump administration is pushing Congress to move faster on this front. The push for unified AI rules could have ripple effects across the tech ecosystem—including blockchain platforms and trading applications that increasingly rely on AI-powered features. Whether these standards end up being restrictive or enabling for innovation remains to be seen, but the message is clear: regulation is coming, and the industry should pay attention.
