The White House unveiled a two-year talent initiative called U.S. Tech Force to embed technical specialists within federal agencies. The program aims to recruit about 1,000 engineers to agencies such as the Treasury and Defense, spotlighting AI infrastructure and other critical technology projects.

Nearly 30 private-sector partners, including Coinbase, Robinhood, OpenAI, Nvidia, and Microsoft, will join forces with federal teams. Participants could earn $150,000 to $200,000 annually, with post-service opportunities at partner firms, underscoring a structured public-private bridge.

Industry observers say the move marks a shift for the crypto industry from a regulated entity toward a government-recognized technology provider status. The program aims to strengthen digital governance and infrastructure through credible public-private collaboration.
