Public Chain Assets Could Reach $10 Trillion, Cardano Founder Says Crypto Industry Will Deeply Integrate with AI in the Next 5 to 10 Years

Odaily News: Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that over the next 5 to 10 years, cryptocurrency will deeply integrate with AI, and blockchain can solve AI's challenges in payments, alignment, and data provenance. OpenAI and Anthropic must achieve profitability at scale; individual models may be profitable, but pretraining costs are the main obstacle. Current data center construction is difficult to sustain, computing power spending cannot grow 10x every year, and global electricity supply cannot support it either. Hoskinson predicts that idle data centers will emerge in the future, and AI computing power will subsequently shift to local and edge models, integrating GPUs, phones, and other devices through distributed computing networks, with crypto technology handling coordination and settlement functions. By 2030, public chain assets could reach $10 trillion, with 1 billion new users.
