Cryptocurrency Market to Welcome 1 Billion Users, According to Raoul Pal
Raoul Pal, the founder of Real Vision and a former Goldman Sachs executive, is optimistic about the cryptocurrency market's future.
In an “ask me anything” session, Pal discussed the potential for crypto to reach a billion or more users during the next bull run.
He believes that an inevitable wave of liquidity will support risk-on assets, including crypto, which will trigger a surge in capital and new innovations that attract the next batch of users.
Pal notes that the crypto market has already attracted significant investment, which will accelerate its growth. Pal foresees a rise in the crypto market, with the number of users increasing from 300 million to over a billion in this cycle.
He expects to see new applications and use cases emerge, including digital identity, Web3, DeFi, and NFT-based ticketing.
While there may be brief interruptions or retractions, Pal remains optimistic about the potential for the cryptocurrency market to expand.

According to Pal, it’s probable that the Federal Reserve has already completed its efforts to increase interest rates to tackle inflation.
Pal foresees an upcoming economic downturn that will compel the Fed to switch gears and create additional currency to stimulate the economy. Consequently, this will further grow the cryptocurrency market until the pace of transactions begins to decline.

Alex is Editor-in-Chief of Coinspress and co-founder of Millennial Media Group, with nearly a decade of experience covering financial markets - crypto first, then everything else. It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
