The U.S. government has launched a two-year technical talent program, deploying approximately 1,000 engineers and technical experts to multiple federal agencies, involving AI and key technology projects. Participants include crypto companies and traditional tech firms, with compensation ranging from $150,000 to $200,000. This move signifies a shift in the status of the crypto industry, transforming from a "problematic entity" to an important provider of technological capabilities, with profound implications.
