It is not an inflation hedge, but more of a debasement hedge that protects holders from fiscal/monetary profligacy and policy error,” Jonah Van Bourg, global head of trading at Cumberland, told CoinDesk in a note. “Any risk of U.S. debt default is indeed a form of U.S. dollar debasement and/or policy error, and the increased demand we’re seeing (expressed in higher crypto prices) is this use case bearing itself out.”
