Trump Names Jay Clayton, Andrew Ferguson to Lead ‘Superintelligence’ Task Force

The direct reporting line to the President and Chief of Staff, rather than to a single agency, signals that superintelligence policy is being centralized at the White House level. That structure could compress the timeline for any federal framework touching AI and, by extension, the crypto and tokenized-asset infrastructure increasingly pitched as AI-adjacent. The mix of a former financial regulator and a sitting antitrust enforcer hints the mandate spans market structure as much as compute. Whether the task force produces binding guidance or stays advisory is the open question worth watching.
