<p>David Sacks’ venture capital firm, Craft Ventures, <a href="https://www.rootdata.com/Investors/detail/Craft%20Ventures?k=MTA5NjY%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">invested</a> in multiple crypto projects including dYdX, Lightning Labs, River Financial, Kresus, Lumina, among others. A couple of hours after Trump announced Sacks as AI &amp; Crypto Czar, the news of Craft Ventures dYdX investment circulated across the crypto community.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The opportunity of serving at the top level in the US government, in the emerging technologies like AI &amp; crypto made David popular in the industry. As a result, his venture capital firm investing in dYdX triggered a sharp price spike in its native DYDX token.&nbsp;</p>
<p>dYdX is a torch bearer in the DeFi industry, being the first-of-its-kind to offer decentralized margin trading, derivatives, flash loans, etc in the early stages of decentralized finance. Even though the project gained significant popularity and adoption, the native DYDX token followed a downtrend in line with the broader crypto market.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now, with the return of the bull market and Craft Ventures’ investment in dYdX, combined with the positive crypto community, the DYDX token price is surging considerably. Adding to these factors, when technical indicators come in favor, the token price could reach its year-high in the current bull run.&nbsp;</p>
