Raoul Pal: Cryptocurrency is the "Universal Basic Equity" of the AI era, and within five years, Agents will account for three-fifths of DeFi users.
May 7 news, Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision, said at the Miami Consensus 2026 conference:
Humanity is at an unprecedented turning point in history, and we are about to usher in AGI entities that are smarter, more agile, and more powerful than humans, while AI capabilities are currently improving at more than double the annual growth rate. By 2028, the annual output of AI-generated text will exceed the total amount of all human-produced output in history, and all of this will happen within 5 years.
After AI replaces the workforce at scale, the solution is not the traditional universal basic income (UBI), but “Universal Basic Equity.” This is the first time in human history that ordinary people can directly own the underlying network by holding crypto infrastructure tokens, and they will benefit in parallel as the Agent economy expands. Institutional participation does not deviate from the spirit of crypto; rather, for the first time, it enables anyone in the world to be on the same starting line as firms like BlackRock to buy BTC, ETH, and SOL.
During the quick Q&A session, Pal said that if he had to choose between the two, he would choose Solana over Bitcoin, and he expects that within 5 years, Agents and humans will become the main user groups of DeFi in a 3:2 ratio.
