How Trump’s Order Blitz Played Out for Tech

What a week! President Donald Trump had promised a slew of executive orders once he took office, and the tech and finance industry executives who threw their support behind him expected several would address their long-held beefs with Biden administration policies.

Trump delivered on the deluge. The crypto industry got almost everything it wanted, including a directive to ensure crypto companies would have access to banking services. Another order revoked the Biden administration’s artificial intelligence mandate, which leaders of startups like Databricks and investors like Andreessen Horowitz had fought. TikTok got the biggest prize of all: a 75-day reprieve from the law that briefly forced it offline late Saturday.
