It's an interesting paradox we're seeing play out in the markets right now. Traditional assets are hitting all-time highs across the board—equities, precious metals, real estate, commodity futures. Stock indices are at record levels, gold and silver prices have never been higher, home valuations keep climbing, and copper's surging. Money market funds are capturing record inflows as investors seek safe havens. Meanwhile, government debt keeps expanding alongside deficit spending, both reaching unprecedented levels. Yet amid all this market exuberance in traditional finance, crypto remains crushed near historic lows. The disconnect is stark: while central banks, governments, and institutional capital pour into conventional assets, digital currencies struggle to recover. Makes you wonder whether it's a timing issue, regulatory headwinds, or something deeper about how the macro cycle is actually unfolding. The traditional system is reaching extremes while crypto hasn't recovered to previous peaks—two very different market narratives happening simultaneously.
