ChainCatcher News, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes published an article stating that the new popular narrative in TradFi is the "debasement trade." It took them nearly twenty years to notice.

The so-called "debasement trade" refers to investors seeking to protect wealth or gain returns in an environment of currency devaluation by allocating their asset portfolios accordingly. This usually involves investing in asset classes that perform well during periods of inflation or currency debasement.
