Raoul Pal joins Milk Road Crypto to explain why he believes crypto investors are being handed a rare opportunity: the chance to own the infrastructure that could power the emerging AI and machine economy. In this episode, Raoul breaks down his latest macro and crypto outlook, including why global liquidity, not individual Fed decisions, remains the key force driving Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and the broader crypto market. He explains why AI investment is currently absorbing enormous amounts of capital, what needs to change for crypto liquidity to accelerate, and why a weaker dollar could become an important catalyst for risk assets.~~~~~
Send us Fan MailAuthors using AI is Raoul Pal's new book the future? AI "partenered" with author Raoul Pal to help his publishers turn 30 years of his ideas, speeches, frameworks and intellectual property into his new book, The Everything Code. Is this the future of AI book writing — and what does it mean for authors? In this episode I look at the fascinating story behind Raoul Pal's new book and why Harriman House, Pan Macmillan describe the process as “human-originated and AI-facilitated.” The source material was Pal's own archive material works, while the final text went through human shaping, structuring and editing. Rather than asking AI to invent a book from scratch, the process drew on Raoul's existing body of work — (his IP) his own ideas, writing, speeches and frameworks — using the AI system Weave developed by CHAPTR, alongside fact-checking, editorial shaping and human review. That distinction matters. As an author, publisher, and AI Book Coach, I've long been saying we're moving toward a model where AI can help writers organise, retrieve, connect and develop their own intellectual property without replacing the human voice behind it. BUT AUTHOR BEWARE... human storytelling is what million dollar premium ghostwriter Nicolas Cole on X calls Personality Content vs Commodity Content — the difference between words anyone could produce, and words only one person, with one specific life, could ever have written.In nonfiction books human content it is essential to win the day over informational facts that we can glean from AI. And Raoul Pal is an especially interesting example because his thinking goes beyond writing into something else I'm fascinated by: the Future Self, exponential change and how we prepare ourselves for the world that AI is creating. [Full disclosure his book is still in pre-order so I haven't yet read it...but from his interview on Diary of a CEO I heard him him explain why our world economy is F*ucked and what his "real vision" is for our future. He shared a Future Self hack he himself uses.In this episode: — Raoul Pal and The Everything Code — How AI was used in creating the book — Why “human-originated, AI-facilitated” matters — Using your own IP rather than letting AI become the author — What this could mean for authors, experts and thought leaders
Raoul Pal welcomes back Jordi Visser for a wide-ranging conversation on AI, Bitcoin, tokenization, bonds, productivity, and the future of markets. The guys explore why the panic around bond yields may be overdone, and how AI-driven productivity is already showing up in corporate profits. Then they break down how tokenization could disrupt asset management, why 24/7 markets may favor bots over humans, and why the next phase of crypto may be about far more than just price.

Markets closed out the week balancing cooler inflation against renewed volatility in tech and AI. U.S. CPI rose 2.4% year-over-year in January, with core inflation falling to 2.5% — the lowest level since March 2021. While the report strengthens the case for potential Fed rate cuts, it follows a robust labor market update earlier in the week, keeping policy expectations finely balanced. Equities struggled, with the Nasdaq dropping 2% amid fresh AI disruption fears despite Anthropic raising $30 billion at a $380 billion valuation. Meanwhile, China posted a record $242 billion current account surplus in Q4 2025, highlighting export resilience despite weak domestic demand. Oil slipped on reports that OPEC+ may resume production increases in April. Gold rebounded after briefly falling below $5,000 per ounce. The yen is on track for its strongest week in a year versus the dollar. In crypto, Bitcoin remains stable week-over-week. Coinbase shares rose despite a Q4 earnings miss, even as reports surfaced that CEO Brian Armstrong has sold roughly $500 million in stock over the past nine months. Several crypto CEOs, including leaders from Ripple, Gemini, Uniswap, and Chainlink, have joined the CFTC advisory group. A volatile week wraps with inflation cooling — but crosscurrents in AI, geopolitics, and liquidity remain firmly in play.
Global markets are leaning into growth. Following the upside surprise in U.S. non-farm payrolls — with 130,000 jobs added and unemployment falling to 4.3% — investors are focusing on economic resilience rather than fading hopes of aggressive rate cuts. MSCI's All-World index is trading near record highs, while South Korea's Kospi has crossed 5,500 for the first time. Attention now turns to initial jobless claims and the upcoming CPI print, which could shape expectations for the Federal Reserve's June decision. CME FedWatch odds for a rate hold have climbed to 40%. In the UK, GDP expanded just 0.1% in Q4, while industrial production fell unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Nuveen has agreed to acquire asset manager Schroders for $13.5 billion. In digital assets, crypto markets remain steady despite Blockfills halting withdrawals. BlackRock is deepening its move into tokenized finance, bringing its Treasury-backed BUIDL token to Uniswap through Securitize. Court drama surrounding FTX has resurfaced, and Kraken has replaced its CFO ahead of its public listing. A busy macro backdrop with institutional crypto developments accelerating beneath the surface.
U.S. non-farm payrolls delivered a major upside surprise. The U.S. economy added 130,000 jobs, roughly double expectations, while unemployment fell to 4.3%. The data suggests labor market stabilization despite recent economic uncertainty. Stocks initially reacted positively, though tech names continued to weigh on broader indices. The Dow closed at record highs for a third straight session, while the Nasdaq and S&P lagged amid pressure on Alphabet and brokerages. In Asia, the Nikkei and Taiwan exchange surged to fresh all-time highs, while the yen strengthened further. China's vehicle sales fell 3.2% year-on-year amid persistent deflation pressures, and Bitcoin slipped back below $67,000 as talks over crypto market structure and stablecoin yields stalled. Meanwhile, LayerZero's ZRO token jumped over 20% following the launch of a new institutional-focused blockchain. A mixed but consequential day across macro, equities, FX, and crypto.
Global equity markets are trading at record highs, led by another rally in Japan's Nikkei, now up more than 11% year to date following Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's decisive election victory. In the U.S., the Dow closed at an all-time high, while the Nasdaq stabilized after last week's tech selloff. The dollar remains soft, particularly against the yen, as investors await key U.S. economic data this week — retail sales, delayed non-farm payrolls, and CPI. The White House is managing expectations for slowing job growth, echoing recent comments from Fed Chair Jerome Powell about weakening labor supply and demand. In Europe, France's unemployment rate rose to 7.9%, its highest since 2021. Meanwhile, Bitcoin spot ETFs posted their first two consecutive days of net inflows since mid-January, bringing in more than $500 million. South Korea is investigating a reported $40 billion “fat-finger” crypto distribution error at Bithumb.
Global markets are starting the week on a stronger footing. Japan's Nikkei surged nearly 4% to a record high after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi secured a historic supermajority victory. The yen strengthened as investors priced in political stability and potential fiscal expansion. Meanwhile, gold climbed back above $5,000 per ounce and silver extended its rally amid continued geopolitical tension around U.S.–Iran negotiations. In the U.S., traders are positioning ahead of key labor market and inflation data that will test expectations for a June Federal Reserve rate cut. Treasuries dipped after reports that Chinese regulators told banks to reduce exposure to U.S. bonds. Bitcoin rallied to $72,000 over the weekend before pulling back toward $68,000, while ETF outflows slowed considerably after two heavy weeks. A busy week ahead...
This was one of the most violent crypto flushes in years. Bitcoin plunged to $60,000, a 17% intraday collapse that ranks among the 10 worst drops in BTC history. More than $2.4 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in 24 hours, pushing Fear & Greed readings to levels last seen during the FTX collapse. BlackRock's IBIT ETF recorded its highest trading volume ever, while Strategy shares sank after posting a $12 billion Q4 loss. Traditional markets also struggled, but the damage was far more contained. The S&P 500 fell 1.2%, the Nasdaq slipped 1.6%, and software stocks remain under heavy pressure amid AI disruption fears. U.S. layoff announcements surged to their highest January level since 2009. Overseas, Asia closed mostly lower, Europe fared better, and one rare positive headline emerged as U.S.–Iran negotiations began in Oman, easing geopolitical stress.
