  • Digital gold or fool’s gold: is crypto really a hedge against equity risk?

    September 14, 2022

    Crypto enthusiasts often claim that digital coins and tokens are uncorrelated with equities and can provide a safe haven amid stock market crashes. The assumption is that cryptoassets will act like “digital gold,” serving as a hedge against equity risk and helping investors ride out such downturns.
