Grayscale Research Director Zach Pandl stated that the global alternative asset market has grown nearly 7 times since the 2008 financial crisis, with the share of private equity, private credit, hedge funds, physical assets, and cryptocurrency in global portfolios continuing to rise. According to the data he cited, within alternative assets, private equity accounts for about 29%, hedge funds about 23%, and cryptocurrency about 13%.Zach Pandl mentioned that differences in intergenerational allocation preferences may further strengthen this trend. According to a Bank of America survey of high-net-worth individuals, investors aged 21 to 43 allocate about 53% of their assets outside of traditional stocks and bonds, while the proportion for those aged 44 and above is 26%. With over $100 trillion in wealth expected to transfer to younger generations in the coming years, their stronger preference for alternative assets may provide ongoing tailwinds for cryptocurrency.He added that the lowering of entry barriers to alternative assets is one of the reasons for this shift, with cryptocurrency developing along similar paths; regulated products like Bitcoin ETPs and institutional-grade market infrastructure provide more convenient access to exposure.

Wang Jianlin was once the god of versions, just as I was an unbelievable young person. The cruelest part of version updates is that those at the peak are always the last to notice.So if today a young person tells me something I don't understand, or even something I want to mock, I find it hard to have the same confidence as Wang Sicong. I would serve him a cup of tea and listen to him talk about his world. Because arrogance is always the first asset to be liquidated. We can never predict the future, but believing in young people is always right."In 2019, after Justin Sun purchased a charity lunch with Buffett for about 31.54 million yuan, Wang Sicong shared related articles on his social media with a mocking caption.
