Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain are growing rapidly. However, there is no single national framework that oversees these new technologies in the United States. Various states have varied rules, and this causes confusion and delays. Due to this reason, numerous new financial concepts cannot be safely tested, and consumers can have an increased risk. This paper proposes a new concept of Federal AI-Driven Crypto Regulatory Sandbox. This is a testing ground where companies and regulators can safely test their digital products in a controlled environment. The sandbox applies AI technologies to assist regulators in monitoring operations in real-time and identifying threats in the shortest time. The paper explains what the U.S. lacks in financial regulation in the context of the emerging hyper-technological age and proposes a simple model for the federal agencies. Its aim is to enhance safety, facilitate innovation and modernize the U.S. financial regulations for innovative products in the market.
