In the context of global economic instability (high inflation, war, political instability, banking crisis…), the following coins often benefit the most:
⸻
✅ 1. Bitcoin (BTC) – “Digital Gold”
📌 Why benefit?
• As a hedge asset: Like gold in the traditional world, BTC is seen as a safe haven when fiat currencies depreciate (USD, EUR…).
• Limited supply (21 million BTC) – not printed like fiat money → anti-inflation.
• Institutional money flows in when the global financial market shakes (spot Bitcoin ETF approved, BlackRock, Fidelity, MicroStrategy holding large…).
📈 History shows:
• Whenever global economic/financial instability occurs (for example: the US banking crisis 2023, the Russia–Ukraine war 2022), BTC often rises sharply.
⸻
✅ 2. Ethereum (ETH) – “The Internet of decentralized finance (DeFi)**
📌 Why benefit?
• It is the foundation for a series of decentralized financial applications (DEX, lending, staking…).
• When people lose faith in traditional banks/financial intermediaries → they turn to DeFi.
• ETH is the “fuel” of that ecosystem.
💡 Special:
• ETH has transitioned to a PoS mechanism – saving energy, making it more attractive to ESG (sustainable green) investment flows.
⸻
✅ 3. Safe stablecoins – like USDT, USDC
📌 Why benefit?
• When the economy is unstable, investors often withdraw money from altcoins to hold stable value in stablecoins.
• USDT and USDC are often considered “short-term safe havens” when the market is volatile.
• The inflow of money into stablecoins indicates that capital is taking a break and waiting for the next wave.
⸻
✅ 4. Monero (XMR) & private coins
📌 Why benefit?
• In the context of political instability or financial control (sanctions, account freezes…), privacy coins like Monero (XMR), Zcash (ZEC) often rise sharply.
• People in sanctioned countries (like Russia, Venezuela…) use anonymous coins to protect personal assets.
⸻
✅ 5. Bitcoin Ordinals & Asset tokenization
• When traditional markets are shaky, trends like real estate tokenization and stocks on the blockchain may thrive.
• ETH, BNB Chain, or platforms like Avalanche (AVAX) will benefit indirectly.
