Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said cryptocurrencies will become deeply integrated with artificial intelligence over the next five to 10 years, arguing that blockchain can help address several structural issues in AI, including payments, alignment and data provenance. He said companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic still need to achieve profitability at scale. While an individual model may be profitable, he described pre-training costs as the main obstacle.
Hoskinson also said the current pace of data center construction is hard to sustain. In his view, compute spending cannot keep rising by 10x every year, and global electricity supply is unlikely to support that trajectory. Based on that outlook, he expects idle data centers to emerge in the future, followed by a shift in AI compute toward local and edge models.
He added that distributed computing networks could aggregate GPUs, smartphones and other devices, with crypto handling coordination and settlement. Hoskinson said that by 2030, assets on public blockchains could reach $10 trillion, with 1 billion new users entering the sector.
