David Sacks and UAE’s Sheikh Tahnoon Discuss Crypto and AI

On March 20, 2025, David Sacks, the U.S. AI and Crypto Czar, met with UAE National Security Adviser Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan to explore opportunities in cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. Their discussions centered on the role of digital currencies in finance, the transformative power of AI, and potential investment collaborations.

This meeting followed a March 18 White House dinner hosted by President Trump for Sheikh Tahnoon, underscoring the growing U.S.-UAE tech partnership. The UAE, recognized as a global leader in crypto adoption, has been making significant investments in technology, including a $2 billion deal with Binance and a proposed $7 billion AI initiative.

Meanwhile, Sacks is focused on providing clarity around U.S. crypto regulations. While no formal agreements were announced, the talks signal a strong mutual interest in advancing innovation in both sectors.
