Overview
- Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal told interviewers that AI and blockchain are converging into a single infrastructure layer and forecast the crypto market could grow from about $2.7 trillion to $100 trillion within a decade.
- Pal argues rapid AI adoption multiplies network effects for on-chain services by creating structural demand for instant settlement and fractional, programmable payments.
- He recommends holding Bitcoin as a store of value and a diversified basket of major layer-1 networks as a coordination layer for the emerging AI‑driven economy.
- Pal points to tokenization and regulated launches such as NUVA by Figure Technologies as early signs that real‑world assets and yield products are moving on chain and expanding financial access.
- He warns AI will disrupt some jobs even as it raises the value of creativity and attention, and he characterizes speculative crypto activity like meme coins and NFTs as stress tests that help develop the new infrastructure.
