Raoul Pal Predicts Agent Economy Dominance in DeFi Market

Financial experts have long warned about the potential disruption of automation and artificial intelligence on traditional labor markets. Raoul Pal, former Goldman Sachs executive and co-founder of Real Vision, has weighed in on this issue at the Miami Consensus 2026 conference.

Pal emphasized that humanity is at a pivotal moment in history, with AGI entities expected to surpass human capabilities within the next five years. By 2028, AI-generated text output will likely exceed all human output throughout history. This rapid advancement will undoubtedly alter the job market and societal structures as we know them.

Pal proposed an innovative solution: Universal Basic Equity, which would enable individuals to own foundational networks through cryptocurrency infrastructure tokens. He argued that this concept goes beyond traditional Universal Basic Income (UBI) by providing a more tangible means of benefiting from technological advancements.
