Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision, predicts that the total crypto market cap could soar to an astounding $100 trillion.
In a recent interview on the Blockworks Macro YouTube channel, the former Goldman Sachs executive stated that if the digital assets industry maintains its current growth rate, its total market cap could increase by 44 times within the next decade.
Pal views this surge in the crypto market cap as the greatest wealth-generating opportunity in history. He noted that the market cap could potentially reach $100 trillion by around 2032. He emphasized the significance of this potential growth as an unprecedented opportunity for wealth creation.
As of now, the total crypto market cap stands at $2.1 trillion, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Pal advised traders to avoid a tribal mentality when investing in digital assets and to manage risk sensibly. He explained that with the market cap potentially increasing from its current level to $100 trillion, taking excessive risks is unnecessary. Instead, he suggested capturing the bulk of the opportunity while managing risk prudently.
Pal revealed that he has allocated most of his crypto portfolio to smart contract platforms, particularly Solana (SOL), as he believes it and other altcoins have more upside potential than Bitcoin (BTC). He mentioned that 90% of his liquid net worth is currently invested in Solana, not because he dislikes Bitcoin, but because he expects higher returns from other altcoins.
