Masterclass with Raoul Pal: How AI and Blockchain Will Redefine the World

Macro visionary Raoul Pal joins Unblocking the Chain for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of digital assets, stablecoins, and AI. Drawing on decades of experience from his days running GLG’s Global Macro Fund to founding Real Vision and Global Macro Investor, Raoul outlines why blockchain is moving faster than any previous technology adoption curve — already twice the speed of the early Internet. He explains how institutional adoption, tokenization, and stablecoins are reshaping finance, and explores how artificial intelligence will merge with blockchain to create what he calls an “Internet of Intelligence.” From Bitcoin as digital gold to the coming $100-trillion on-chain economy, this is Raoul at his most expansive — a masterclass in where macro, crypto, and technology converge.
