Recently, TradFi has also started to "really smell good"? The returns on these assets are actually not low
Many people think of TradFi as slow, conservative, and boring, but if you take a serious look at the data recently, you'll find one thing — TradFi is not unprofitable, it just earns less noise.
During the turbulence in the crypto market, the performance of many traditional assets has actually been much more stable than many imagine, and even quite good.
💥US Stocks: Climbing slowly but steadily
Let's start with the most traditional US stocks.
Over the past period, the overall performance of the US stock market has not been aggressive, but it is stable. Technology stocks remain the core driver, with AI, cloud computing, and large tech companies still attracting long-term capital.
For TradFi funds, the biggest advantage of US stocks is not rapid growth, but long-term compound interest + liquidity + clear rules. That’s why, in uncertain markets, funds often return first to US stocks.
😍Gold: An old safe haven asset, recently bought back again
Gold is considered a "re-emerging presence" in TradFi assets recently.
Against the backdrop of repeated inflation expectations and geopolitical risks, gold has once again become an important part of institutional allocations.
It does not seek short-term explosive growth, but during periods of currency devaluation and policy swings, gold’s role is more like a "ballast." That’s why you see banks, funds, and even family offices increasing their gold holdings again.
💰Silver: More volatile but also more resilient
Compared to gold, silver is more like an "advanced option."
It has the properties of precious metals and is supported by industrial demand, so when the market moves, its volatility is often greater than gold’s.
The positioning of such assets in TradFi is very clear:
Higher risk than gold, but also higher potential returns.
🔍Why are many people starting to re-evaluate TradFi now?
The reasons are quite simple:
High short-term uncertainty in the crypto market
ETF funds are repeatedly flowing in and out
Macro policies remain cautious
In this environment, TradFi offers a steady return + risk hedging option, rather than a "choose one" with the crypto market.
Many institutions are currently operating in a way that:
One side allocates to crypto assets
The other balances risk through TradFi assets
💡Summary in one sentence
If crypto is a high-volatility, highly elastic offensive position,
then TradFi is more like a defensive position and buffer zone.
It may not make you rich overnight, but when the market is tough, it can help you survive longer.
And surviving longer is often more important than betting precisely.
