Grayscale: The dollar's credibility is challenged by debt and inflationary pressures, and crypto assets may become an alternative store of value

Grayscale's latest macroeconomic research report indicates that the US government's commitment to maintaining low inflation is facing a credibility crisis due to high debt levels, rising interest rates, and continued deficit spending. Investors who question the stability of the US dollar as a store of value may turn to alternative assets such as cryptocurrencies. The report states that Bitcoin and Ethereum, as core monetary assets in the crypto market, have a limited and transparent supply mechanism, giving them the potential to hedge against fiat currency depreciation in a macroeconomic environment. Similar to gold, their value comes from "not passively expanding their supply due to government debt demand." Grayscale emphasizes that the current unsustainable growth of public debt is driving global demand for crypto assets, but if governments strengthen fiscal discipline and reaffirm central bank independence in the future, demand for cryptocurrencies may weaken.
