Cardano Founder: Public Chain Assets Could Reach $10 Trillion as Crypto Deeply Integrates with AI in 5-10 Years

Odaily News: Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said that in 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 unsustainable, computing power spending cannot grow 10x every year, and global electricity supply cannot support it. Hoskinson predicts that idle data centers will emerge in the future, and AI computing power will then shift to local and edge models, integrating GPUs, phones, and other devices through distributed computing networks, with crypto technology handling coordination and settlement. By 2030, public chain assets could reach $10 trillion, with 1 billion new users.
