On December 16, the Trump administration launched the two-year 'US Tech Force' program aimed at recruiting approximately 1,000 technical experts for federal agencies. The initiative involves nearly 30 private-sector partners, including Coinbase, Robinhood, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Microsoft, signifying crypto’s evolution from a regulated financial sector to a recognized participant in broader technology development. Participants will work on projects across AI, cybersecurity, and other critical technologies, with opportunities to transition into roles within government agencies or partner companies after completing the program.
