😂What is TradFi buying lately? The answer might be a bit "old school": gold.

If you've been only watching the crypto markets recently, you might think the trend is a bit frustrating. But if you shift your perspective to TradFi (traditional finance), you'll find something very interesting — gold is being bought back quietly.

For a long time, gold had almost no presence in the crypto world, but in recent TradFi capital flows, it is quietly returning to the core asset allocation list.

😞Why has gold recently strengthened? What is TradFi worried about?
From a TradFi perspective, the strength of gold isn't complicated; the logic behind it is very traditional.
Global monetary policies remain uncertain
Inflation expectations haven't truly disappeared
Geopolitical and macro uncertainties persist long-term
In this environment, TradFi prefers to allocate to assets that don't rely on the credit of a single country or narrative support, and gold naturally becomes the first choice.
You'll find that the rise of gold isn't driven by emotion but more like funds gradually stacking up.

👀How does TradFi view gold? Completely different from how it views crypto
For TradFi, gold isn't used for "skyrocketing" but for hedging and preserving value.
Its roles are closer to:
A stabilizer in a portfolio
A buffer against currency devaluation
A safe haven during risk events
This is also why, when market uncertainty rises, gold often attracts capital earlier than many risk assets.

💡Why should crypto users also consider gold?
This isn't about asking crypto users to "change their faith," but rather a matter of asset allocation strategy.
Crypto assets are highly volatile and resilient
Gold is less volatile and more stable
When the market is trending upward, crypto is the offensive position
When the market is volatile or even correcting, gold can serve as a defensive position
Many TradFi institutions do exactly this:
Use gold to stabilize the portfolio, and risk assets to seek returns.

📉Final words
When the market isn't going well, maybe it's not about asking "Should I go all in," but about thinking "Do I have a risk cushion?"
