Arthur Hayes "Traditional finance only now realizes the importance of real assets"

Arthur Hayes claimed that traditional finance has only recently recognized the value of crypto assets (cryptocurrencies).

On the 9th (Korean time), Arthur Hayes, co‑founder of BitMEX, said on X (formerly Twitter), "Recently, traditional finance has been setting 'debasement trade (Debasement Trade)' as a new investment strategy," and "It took traditional finance 20 years to realize this," he said.

Debasement trade refers to a strategy of investing in real assets like Bitcoin (BTC) or gold to prepare for expanding government debt and currency depreciation.

Hayes added, "It's time for banks to sell gold, crypto assets, and tech stock derivatives to customers."
