RaoulPal: Cryptocurrency is the "basic equity of all people" in the AI era, Agents will account for three-fifths of DeFi users within 5 years

On May 7, RaoulPal, co-founder and CEO of RealVision, said at the Consensus2026 conference in Miami: Humanity is at an unprecedented turning point in history, and we are about to usher in an AGI entity that is smarter, more flexible and more powerful than humans, and the current annual improvement in AI capabilities has more than doubled. In 2028, the annual writing output of AI will exceed the total output in human history, and this will happen within 5 years. When AI replaces labor on a large scale, the solution is not universal basic income (UBI) in the traditional sense, but "Universal Basic Equity." This is the first time in human history that ordinary people can directly own the underlying network by holding cryptographic infrastructure tokens, benefiting simultaneously as the Agent economy expands. Institutional admission does not deviate from the spirit of encryption. Instead, it is the first time that anyone in the world can buy BTC, ETH, and SOL from the same starting line as BlackRock and others. During the quick question and answer session, Pal said that if he could only choose one, he would choose Solana instead of Bitcoin, and expected that within five years, Agents and humans would become the main user group of DeFi with a ratio of 3:2.
