Benzinga - by Khyathi Dalal, Benzinga Staff Writer.
Prominent macro guru and former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal shared his insights on why he believes crypto is the biggest macro opportunity of all time.
What Happened: In a recent podcast titled “The Big Picture,” Pal argues that the ongoing debasement of currencies by central banks, coupled with the rapid adoption of crypto technology, has created a unique investment opportunity. This could generate unprecedented returns.
He predicts, "Crypto is going from $2.7 trillion where we are today to let’s say $12 trillion by the end of this cycle and onto a $100 trillion within 10 years." It emphasizes the potential for massive wealth accumulation in the shortest period in recorded history.
Pal points to the correlation between global liquidity and Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO: BTC) price as a key indicator of the macro forces driving the crypto market.
Crypto Seasons: Pal discussed the "crypto seasons" concept with each cycle characterized by distinct phases of market behavior. He believes that we are currently transitioning into “crypto summer,” a period when altcoins typically outperform Bitcoin and the market experiences significant growth.
“Very soon, like in the next month, next month and a half, we will start to hit the banana zone," Pal refers to the explosive growth potential during this phase. He says when the zone hits things will get wild.

Why It Matters: Pal cautions investors against getting carried away by the hype and making irresponsible decisions. He advises against using leverage, keeping most of one’s crypto holdings in the top three to five market cap tokens, and allocating no more than 10% of capital to higher-risk altcoins.
"Don’t FOMO into stupid s–t because your friends are making money or you’re seeing some bloke making money in a meme coin," Pal warns, emphasizing the importance of a disciplined investment approach.
As the crypto market continues to evolve, Raoul Pal’s insights provide a compelling case for why investors should consider allocating a portion of their portfolio to this rapidly growing asset class.
By understanding the macro forces at play and adhering to a responsible investment strategy, individuals may have the opportunity to participate in what Pal believes to be the biggest macro opportunity of all time.
What's Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga's upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
