Raoul Pal Forecasts 4 Billion Crypto Users by 2030 Amid Rapid Adoption Trends
Former hedge fund manager Raoul Pal projects exponential growth in cryptocurrency adoption, predicting the user base could reach 4 billion by 2030. His analysis draws parallels to early internet expansion, noting crypto's current adoption rate of 137% annually dwarfs the internet's 76% growth during its nascent phase.
The total crypto user count reached 659 million by end-2024, fueled by global accessibility and financial innovation. Pal contends debasement drives 90% of price action while adoption fuels long-term outperformance, with total market capitalization potentially exceeding $100 trillion within a decade.
"Crypto is being adopted at twice the speed of early internet growth," Pal observed, comparing 5 million wallets today to 5 million IP addresses during the web's infancy. This trajectory suggests blockchain technology may achieve mass adoption faster than any previous technological revolution.
